ParkSwap helps drivers coordinate real-time information about street-parking opportunities. Enter any address and start destination-first navigation. As you approach, ParkSwap helps you discover nearby parking opportunities shared by the community. If you are leaving a legal public parking space, share that you are leaving. Nearby drivers can view the opportunity, request to connect, and—when accepted—use in-app directions and live status to meet at the location. Why drivers use ParkSwap: • Navigate to any destination and look for parking as you approach • View nearby parking opportunities shared by the community • Let nearby drivers know when you are leaving • Coordinate with clear profile and vehicle details • Use in-app guidance for safer spot handoffs • Send an optional thank-you tip after a successful connection • Use the experience in English or Spanish ParkSwap is designed to make city parking coordination faster, clearer, and more human. Public street spaces are never owned, sold, reserved, or guaranteed by ParkSwap. Availability can change at any time. Always obey posted signs, local laws, accessibility rules, and parking restrictions.

It looks like a good concept, but I do not see why the app needs both my card information and my bank account information, seems a bit sketchy to me, and could be a reason lots of people won’t want to join.

We are more than glad you used ParkSwap.The app needs your bank account information for you to be able to receive the gift (money) others will send you when you provide them with your parking spot. The app also needs your card information for you to be able to send a gift (money) to others when they provide their parking spots to you. Thanks again for taking your time and writing a review.

Would be cool if I could use the app a few times as a proof of concept before I commit to giving my financial info to this random developer I know nothing about. Odds are I’ll never actually end up using the product and to be honest I don’t really know why I would ever send someone a gift for giving me a street parking spot. Just sounds like it adds more of a headache and complication to street parking in NYC. And it just seems like a flimsy excuse for the developer to get your financials. Also leaves me wondering how exactly this app is making money. If not selling your financials, I guess they sell your location data?

Hello and thanks for your review and feedback.On the next update everyone would be able to use the app without putting their bank account information. If users want to be able to receive money, they’ll enter the bank account information to be able to receive it.Actually there is a lot of people that would send money to find parking spots. ParkSwap (the developer) makes money from each transaction (%). We don’t sell your information nor give it to anyone. You could find it on our privacy policy.

This app could be so great, and I LOVE the concept.However, this app requests you put your credit card on file in order (to send gifts) and asks for your bank account info (so you can receive gifts). There is no way to do this via Venmo, PayPal, or ApplePay. Therefore, you are forced to trust that the developers of this app are keep your financial data safe from hackers and data breaches, and I have no reason to believe that they are able to do so.

At the beginning when I downloaded the app there wasn’t a lot of people around my neighborhood, after a few weeks, people started using it and parking has never been an issue anymore. I hope people use it everywhere and I’m going to recommend it to everyone I see!

ParkSwap is now built around destination-first parking navigation. Enter any address, start driving, and ParkSwap begins checking parking opportunities as you approach. This update also introduces a completely redesigned onboarding, sign-in, live map, driver profile, vehicle experience, and safer spot-handoff guidance.
