HORRIBLE: 1 star is WAYYYYY too much

2022-05-22

1) ParkNYCPowered is glitchy: I once had ParkNYCPowered freeze on me where I could get to the point of paying but it wouldn’t let me pay. When I reported this issue to customer service they told me there’s nothing they could do. I deleted, re downloaded and it seemed to work.

Don’t put your money on this app

2022-06-23

I opened an account yesterday and it worked fine except it was annoying that you have to upload 25$ to start and can’t just pay as you go as you would normally on the street. Today I go to a doctors appointment and try to open ParkNYCPowered to pay for parking. It crashes every time I press log in... Show more

Interface broken, cannot start ticket session

2022-07-24

I noticed there is a pretty crippling issue with the current version of ParkNYCPowered (updated a year ago) when using on iPhone X with iOS 11.4.1. When going through the application all the function of the application seems normal and works without fail. Until I try to confirm my parking session ... Show more

Worked once maybe 2 twice.

2022-08-25

Had to delete it. It only worked once. It's a shame because it has great potential and I would rather pay ParkNYCPowered direct then have my credit card scanned at one of those meters. It's a shame. Because in NYC it's more expensive to park and to be able to use ParkNYCPowered while not having t... Show more

Got a ticket wish I read the reviews

2022-09-26

ParkNYCPowered is pointless and a scam by the city to give more tickets. After the hour expired it wouldn't allow me to pay for an additional hour. I thought the whole point of ParkNYCPowered is so that I don't have to keep going outside to pay the muni meter but if it is a one hour parking area ... Show more

PLEASE Remove this app from App Store.

2022-10-27

Those developers that are working on ParkNYCPowered to fix all the issues need to be fired. Worst app I have experienced in my life. Constantly crashing, every week or two I need to reinstall it. Got couple times parking ticket even after purchasing mini meter ticket through ParkNYCPowered . You c... Show more

Must have this fixed -

2022-11-28

ParkNYCPowered worked for me for the first few months and then it doesn’t allow Me to make any payments anymore . I can log in add vehicle , select zones , check the map function for zones numbers , everything work right up to the point of having to pay for time. I spoke to the nyc agency handlin... Show more

Faulty app leads to parking violations.

2022-12-29

ParkNYCPowered is faulty and should be removed / banned from ParkNYCPowered Store. Additionally, the Developer responds to all reviews with the same inadequate response.

I can see from the reviews that users have been experiencing similar issues for over two years, and the developer has... Show more

Worst parking app so far

2023-01-30

Locked me out of my account and when i try and unlock it by resetting my password, it links me to their website asking me to put in the zone number. When i put im the zone number, it then tells me my account is locked and resends me an email to reset my password. Then rinse and repeat, its an endle... Show more

Tap Tap NO Meter Time - DISAPPOINTING!!!

2023-03-03

So very disappointed with how the issue with ParkNYCPowered not working on the iPhone was not communicated to the using public by the developer &/or company.

I kept tapping (several times) on ParkNYCPowered thinking I was doing something wrong; I became extremely frustrated waiting for... Show more

Useless

2023-04-01

How can refilling the meters be illegal, this is what New Yorkers do all day every day with the muni meter tickets stacked way up high on the dashboard. ParkNYCPowered is "enforcing" such a stupid parking regulation. And you can't start a new session until the next day??? Give me a break, what if ... Show more

Have to delete and add the app every time I use it

2023-05-03

When ParkNYCPowered first came out it was amazing it worked perfectly in all of the boroughs and then something happened where you have to delete it every time you want to put a zone number in. So I have to basically delete ParkNYCPowered and then add it just to put the number in for it to take a... Show more

Lot of potential

2023-06-03

ParkNYCPowered needs a lot of bug fixing. It used to work like a charm especially because parking in Manhattan is ridiculously difficult. It continues to glitch regularly. As of right now, I have to delete and reinstall after every single use. I can't tell if its a way for the city to just be able... Show more

The number one most unreliable app

2023-07-05

Unfortunately ParkNYCPowered is a necessary evil to have when parking on the streets of New York City. 75% of the time it never works because it has a network date connection error. The remaining 25% of the time you’re lucky if it works. ParkNYCPowered will freeze and crash unexpectedly. You will... Show more

Use to work

2023-08-05

Use to work just fine for a year , only issue I had was the 30min wait period between adding more time to the meter if you’ve already reached maximum time allowed and still in the same spot but I guess that’s so people don’t monopolize the parking space but if I paid at the meter with my card or ca... Show more

Inconsistent and Buggy

2023-09-06

I wish I could give ParkNYCPowered a great rating because the purpose of ParkNYCPowered is to make parking life a little bit more convenient. However ParkNYCPowered crashes and / or does not register a function command. For example, it will allow me to select my saved zone, select max time, then... Show more

Deceptive tutorial and help feature

2023-10-08

ParkNYCPowered boast an “extend time” feature. It’s tutorial does not caution that extensions can’t be made beyond Max parking time. In other words, unlike paper generated parking receipts, you can’t add an extension of a second session. The fine print says there’s no extension beyond 5 minutes be... Show more

Park cash free

2023-11-08

I have been using ParkNYCPowered since it came on line in the 5 Boroughs of NYC. Has become my meter parking aid especially when there isn’t any available coins. Just tap in the zone number, pick the time you need. The meter’s do take charge cards, but don’t provide the benefits of using the NYCP... Show more

Must pay up front? What a scam!

2023-12-10

ParkNYCPowered should allow users to 1) look up parking rules / hours / prices without an account or at least without a $25 minimum commitment. 2) create an account without registering a car. I don’t own a car, but when my sister comes to visit, rather than have her put a $25 deposit down so she c... Show more

Super Convenient!! (with minor flaws)

2024-01-10

Download this bad boy right now. I’ve been using ParkNYCPowered for 2 years and I love being able to just get out of the car and not have to finangle with the machines to pay. ParkNYCPowered is super convenient and quick. I totally get the frustration of the other reviewers, but I feel like most ... Show more

Missing a critical feature

2025-01-10

I can’t imagine that the designers of ParkNYCPowered ever owned a car or fed a meter. Their product is a ticket waiting to happen (and we just got one). It offers two-car families no convenient way to see which car you’re actually buying time for. Worse still, it links accounts at the server level... Show more

App is simply not working and support does nothing to help

2025-01-10

My app worked a few times then eventually had the same issue as some other users. When I get to the point where it says “start parking” it just doesn’t work. I also thought it was bad reception etc... nothing worked except when I deleted ParkNYCPowered and reloaded it again; at that point ParkNYCP... Show more

Wish it worked

2025-01-10

Update: 2 years later and this crap still doesn’t work. What a shame

Used it for about 8 months. It was great! The all of a sudden, 4 months ago, you can’t submit the order, or payment for the meter. They never fixed it, never updated it. It’s like no one is on top of ParkNYCPowered at the... Show more

BEWARE: You can get a fine!

2025-01-10

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I’ve been using ParkNYCPowered for over 3 months. First 3 months, no tickets. Then last week I parked in a 2 hr zone. I paid $8 for 1.5 hrs. I got the confirmation email. I came back with 15 mins left.... and a ticket on my windshield for not having the “receipt displayed.” ... Show more

Rarely Works

2025-01-10

ParkNYCPowered used to work but now works maybe 1/4th of the time. Plenty of network errors, bad login attempts and generally a bad experience. Worst than the bad user experience is not knowing whether or not your payment has really gone through. Nothing quite like paying to park and getting a tic... Show more
