Why, why did you change? Old app was so easy and intuitive and in easy readable font. Payment could be charged to Apple store credit card. New release changed all of the above to make it much worse. It’s not intuitive. Who come up with sick idea to have a map. And once you enter parking Id it’s start telling and suggest parking address at the expense of the field where one has to enter parking if. This field is so small and stuck at the bottom so one need magnifying glsss to see what number you typed in. Now, I run out of funds and system wants me to type credit card info. it’s inconvenient to enter card info into the phone - you hold card in one hand, phone in another snd you need a third arm to type. I can not charge to Apple store credit card in automatic fashion the way it used to be. So instead, now I have to go back to the parking station and pay with credit card. You forced me to go back to use the credit card as opposed to NYC parking app. Even ewallet does not give you an option to charge apple store credit card.! Royal screw up! I will keep on using credit card and walk to parking payment and wait for the next release . Hopefully it will undo all these awful changes. Good luck!

Prev app wouldn’t let transaction process id parking wasn’t allowed at that time. It’s even told me in past when it was FREE parking when I went to pay. Now, app happily takes $ REGARDLESS of parking rules! The level in which NYC has gotten re: grimey nickel & dime tactics has reached new heights. App GLADLY takes ur $, processes the transaction, gives you the countdown and even notifies you when time is almost up-WHETHER PARKING IS ALLOWED OR NOT! And IF parking is NOT allowed, EVEN W TIME TO SPARE there is a 99.9% chance that u will be greeted w/an officer writing u a $95 PARKING TICKET!!!
So basically, I just PAID to park somewhere that I was NOT actually ALLOWED to park (& I was only 10Min!) AND now have to pay an ADDITIONAL $95 bc I was ALLOWED to PAY to park somewhere that I was NOT ACTUALLY ALLOWED to park! Real GRIMEY. $100 to run into store to buy a $4.99 box of saltines. AWESOME!

The app is convenient but is flawed. When prompted to enter the zone the number keypad should pop up on iPhones to enter the number, but it does not. Also, there should be an option to switch cars under the same number in case you make a mistake and didn’t select the right car for those that have multiple vehicles in one account. There should be a time limit to switch cars because people make mistakes and then are locked out and must pay a second time at the parking ticket machine. Also, there should be an option to pay for multiple vehicles simultaneously, in different areas.
