Meter Feeder App +4

I like the ability to pay for parking via credit card on my phone and renew it without going back out to the meter, but why does it only let you add two hours at a time, and why can’t you just add time to an existing parking payment? You have to wait until your parking expires, and then reselect it for an additional two hours.

It will show me that I have 5 minutes left, but there’s no way to add time on the main screen that shows your parking time. There does appear to be an add time link in the side menu, but it’s at the top of the screen and impossible to tap. Nothing happens when I try to tap it. I’ve forgotten to renew my parking so many times because I’ve stayed longer than two hours. It notifies you, but it’s just a push notification that you wouldn’t see unless you happened to be looking at your phone. At least have the option to have an audible ding or something, if you won’t let me add more time before it expires.

I downloaded the Meter Feeder app at the train station yesterday morning and when I went to pay, it didn’t go through. I tried again and was charged almost double. I called Meter Feeder right away and no one returned my call. I emailed and hours later received a response that they wouldn’t refund the overcharge, saying it was my fault. No, it wasn’t. I put the payment through the second time so I wouldn’t get a ticket or get towed. The payment never showed up on my credit card the first time, only the second time when the charge was so much higher. This company is a ripoff!!!

Downloaded this app solely to pay a parking ticket for a family member, but it errors when you attempt to pay the ticket. It successfully finds the ticket, but when you attempt to pay it you get a “Ticket validation failed” error. The website has the same problem. This ticket will double in cost tomorrow if it’s not paid today and MeterFeeder is the only option besides mail. Two thumbs down 👎👎
