Bad UI. The worst part is that it does not update the parking database in real-time. So, for instance, you can purchase your parking and several minutes later the enforcement officer cannot tell if the space is paid for! I was told by the city IT dept (who hates the system) that the delay can be up to 5 minutes before the database is updated. In these five minutes you will be tagged with a parking violation. You then have to spend time to go to city hall to have the ticket waived.

The app has been completely broken for about a week. The last two times I tried to park, I got charged through Google Wallet without a parking session actually being initiated. In fact, the last time (just last night), it charged me TWICE without recognizing the payment had gone through. Then I tried to re-register my credit card without using Google Wallet, and it still failed (so the issue is obviously on Flowbird's side, not Google's nor my bank's), though at least that time I wasn't charged.

I downloaded this app because the kiosk itself wasn't working and kept canceling instead of printing my ticket. Turns out the app is just as bad. It can't even figure out my location. When I finally got to it myself, there were no parking locations shown for this area, even though I'm looking around and seeing them everywhere. I wonder if I'm going to get charged for the parking passes that got canceled...
