- Ads? In a parking meter app that I pay for? Get lost. - What's the point of assigning location codes if you're going to assign the same code to multiple locations within the same geographic region and then make me select which one I actually want every time (even when I have one favorited and specifically selected that from my favorites)? - Really cool how sometimes the app just refuses to accept that the spot I've entered in the location I've selected exists until like the fourth try.

Downloaded the app, but it won't take any form of payment. I tried 3 different credit cards, including Google payments. Took about 10 minutes of fumbling before I just paid by card at the meter. What a world app, when there is always an error adding a payment method. Had a 2nd person try too...same issue. I think the app is dead.

The app works as designed and does not force one to register, like other apps, which makes sense because the physical meter also does not force one to register. However, the app/meter design is still fraudulent as they ask you to pay ahead, and never give you refund even if you move your car earlier and someone else takes the same spot and pays for it separately. The app/meter has all the information to give back refund for the unused time, remember someone is also paying. Stop this fraud!

Hello Jagbir, Please note that PayByPhone is a payment solution; configuration settings such as **rates, refunds, restrictions, and time units** are all managed by the parking vendors offering the service. It's important to petition the vendor for making these decisions. Kind Regards, Raza, PayByPhone
