Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I used this app every day in Brooklyn to help me check safe places to park! Especially helpful for remembering when street sweeping is.

I have really liked this app and found it accurate in the past but this time I trusted it, and woke up to a $97 ticket. The sign does not match the street cleaning date listed on the app in this area.

This company doesn’t vet anything. Lots that are monthly parking only are labeled as hourly. It lists private parking lots as if they’re viable places to park - for example, a car dealership’s lot. You can’t just park there without being towed if you’re not a customer.
