4.4 out of 5

By Allison2970

So easy!! So reasonably priced!!

I love how Honk saves my favorite lot right on the front page. Also allows me to easily edit which car I am in. I’ve been using for several months now (not daily) and Honk wasn’t working (just 1x) but I left a customer service note and kept checking back. They called me shortly after and confirmed that they had my car, Honk was up and running and that I was all set! Great customer service.

Does the job

Should be easier to use but for my first time it was a bit complicated to navigate Honk and figure it out but I got the hang of it quick

By jfcdown4brown

Quick pay to park

So convenient and quick, I usually pay as I walk away from the lot. Thanks for giving us an option to use Honk. Its great!

By Flownominal

Easy and reliable app, expensive parking rates

Honk was easy to download and convenient to extend parking so I didn’t have to go back to my vehicle. The rates themselves are kind of high...

By tmrose23

Keep getting ticketed!

Not sure where the disconnect is, but I have gotten two tickets now even though I paid using Honk. Yes I confirmed the license plate number and zone both times. Something is not working right. Used Honk for several months with no issues until now.

By Brandon.T

City tickets and towing

I paid for parking TWICE using Honk. I got a ticket from the city. I contacted support and it turns out it was a mistake.. so I ended up getting a 30$ refund.

I used Honk again in the same parking lot at 560 King Street West.. I got towed for $282 even though I showed the attendant the digital receipt. On his iPad he cannot see any registered payment. Confirmed app is broken and will never use it again!

HonkMobile Awesome

One of my favorite apps for parking super easy and quick

By Hakushu with ice

The worst parking app ever?

Confusing, horrible GUI, unable to select correct date and time (Honk changes the parking chosen date and time to whatever it feels). Plainly useless. It is actually remarkable that an app like that exists and that the parking operators work with the creators of this thing.

By hexgirlfriend

Other parking apps are better

Honk was significantly more difficult to use than other parking apps and charged me for more time than I selected. I attempted to pay for 2-3 hours while going to dinner but Honk charged me for 5 hours!! Needless to say, I will not be using lots with Honk again

By W3755789

So frustrating

Don’t know if I have ever used a more glitchy and confusing app…doesn’t store credit card properly, doesn't store login info properly, confusing to use, user interface is not helpful.

By Scott216

Doesn’t work

I tried using this in Breckinridge. I entered the location ID number for my parking lot and I just got a spinning icon, it never did anything. I had a good internet connection.

By texas2france

Easy parking app

Great app. Easy setup and go.

By Laney0069

Process at this time.

Extremely buggy

Bugs galore and interface is awful.

By Hosp Park J

Be Aware or Weekly Rate

Love Honk and the discounts, however a weekly pass started on Monday morning ends Friday morning at 1200, actually only equaling 4 days. For this reason, I am giving low rating.

By maaddooooopppp

Horrible app

Won’t let me change my password. Extremely poorly laid out. I hate using Honk.

By Luba Kravche

Terrible app

Props to Honk for increasing prices for parking in my city by more than double. Also Honk is glitchy and the UI could use a lot of work.

By b3ccale4

Honk is wonderful!

Love Honk . Very convenient!

By Miche2980

Very convenient app

I like that I don't have to run back and forth from my car to the payment machine nor do I have to have a credit card or cash always at the ready as my payment info is preloaded in Honk .

By cemersoz

Horrible

Awful app, doesn't send you receipts in Honk clip... Is that even legal?

Parking made easy

Simple process. App easy to navigate. Allows multiple cards and vehicles to remain on file. Love the confirmation emails for payment (receipt) and reminders of when the session is about to end.

By Srinivas Vadapalli

Works but needs lot of work

I like Honk as it cuts the waiting time in line for your chance to pay at the parking pay station however there are lot of kings that needs fixing. App layout and aesthetics are just so lame and backward. Hope the developer takes these things into account and updates Honk

By LassoYYZ

Never stand in the rain/snow to pay for parking

After using this a few times, I’m ready to give this a full five stars. Easy to use. Great out of time notices. Easy to top up. Easy to find parking. Great customer support. No complaints, only praise.

By Lesola

Great app-- very useful

Reminds you when your time is up and allows you to pay more at anytime. Wish all parking lots used Honk. It remembers your car.

By msjohan

Not ready for prime time

Hard to believe UBC moved to Honk. I've spent 20 minutes trying to save a payment method. Used 2 different credit cards and PayPal each twice, received the little green check mark each time only to find that I have no saved payment methods when I attempt to pay. Extremely poor navigation throughout Honk as well. Has anyone actually tested this?!!?

Bryant 5 months ago

So frustrating. This app is must be in beta because it is so buggy and the interface is glitchy. I’m getting charged for 2 days in the same parking stall for the same duration of time. If you have to extend your parking, it is a fkn nightmare.

Robin 6 months ago

I tried to download the APP to my phone thinking I would need it and regretted it quickly. The APP was a scam from the App Store on my IPhone that enrolled me in stupid stuff for $50 / Month. Fortunately I realized something was wrong. I called my bank who have now stopped the charges and cancelled the credit card I used before anything could go through. Why this would happen. I'm not sure where the fault lays but my bank is the one saving me now.

I do not have a digital form of payment. How can I pay cash for an hour
