How does this app not know I'm about to get towed in this spot? 20 minutes into my time it became a tow zone, so instead of $2.65 it cost me $135 plus an hour to get my car. Silver lining: lot was T-accessible and the people at Transportation were friendly, making this my least bad towing experience - and they charged $90 instead of $200+ that some places charge. That was my first experience with this app. Since then it has been consistently easy to use and demands less data access than Passport.

12/23/22 Update: password requirement still does not see that I've got more than 1 of the required special characters in my password. Back to paying meters with coins. 8/15/22 Update: was 5 stars, now 1. I tried setting up my new account with this update, I had "at least 1 special character" in my password and it didn't acknowledge it. I'm not interested in connecting this to my Google account. So I'll wait until this bug gets fixed.

When creating a password, the list of special characters is limited to 7 symbols. If you use a character that is not listed in the pasword reset requirements, then your password will not be accepted. Here is the list of special characters you are allowed to use for password reset: !@#$%^&

Doesn't keep you logged in. They probably figured out that if they force logged people out that it leads to an increase in revenue. I got logged out and tried to reset my password and the email didn't come. I had to go to a quick appointment and came back to a ticket. I just tried again, weeks later. It accepts my email address and says "reset email sent." It is not in my inbox or spam folder. Whether calculated or due to incompetence, the result is the same.
