by anonym Fantastic! There were no spaces in town yesterday so I had to park on the outskirts. Really helped with finding my way back. 5/5
by anonym Works good. Like how u can just add flags/points right away. I prefer backtracker though, especially since its not complicated. 4/5
by anonym Simple and easy to use. Please allow custom reminder times and reminders that can be cancelled. 4/5
by anonym I'm driving only when abroad so offline functionality would be a must for this app. 3/5
by anonym Works but navagation needs to help more fine tune exactly where your car Is. 4/5
Needs work. by anonym It works, but the compass is often unreliable. 4/5
Constantly runs, crashes device by anonym It's constantly running, even if you don't use it. You have to force-close it manually. My tablet crashes every week because it's using CPU time/resources when I don't even use it for weeks. It should only be running with the GPS activated, after you enable it in options. It needs re-development. 1/5
Works pretty well but doesn't close on exit by anonym I really wanted to love this app. It was a good way to ping my car when I couldn't remember where I parked, and the navigation works pretty well. Also, when you touch the flag, it asks you if you're at a meter or if you're in a free spot, which is a good feature. However, I have to un-install this app and get a different one because (minor issue) 1) like someone else on this board, I wish it had custom timers for parking meters, and (MAJOR issue) 2) it doesn't have an "exit" feature, so the only way to turn the app off is to power down the phone and reboot it. Too much trouble. 2/5
by anonym You have to enable GPS or it shows you a mile away... Very accurate with GPS on... 5/5
by anonym Maybe y'all should invest in better phone's cuz it pinpoints my vehicle exactly where it is.So its not the nature of GPS,but the nature of crap phones 5/5
by anonym Out of town, borrowed car (Volkswagon Beetle), rush into a busy shopping to pee: the perfect storm to lose a vehicle. Nope, this app WORKS. 5/5
by anonym It's horrible, doesn't seem to locate itself, let alone the car. 1/5
by anonym Easy to mess up. I accidentally deleted my park position. Couldn't find my car in airport carpark. Plus cannot delete from database entered in error. 1/5
by anonym Ok. Am uninstalling. Screen too small. Seems better available. Fix that & I bet ull get more customers. 3/5
Good, but could use polishing by anonym This app. fills in the blanks with GPS supported tools to help me remember where I parked on a daily basis. Very handy. Future updates should include the ability to share parking location with other contacts (spouse, family, roommate, etc.). 4/5
Stay away by anonym Pretty bad app. Does not function at all. Was way off on where I was parked. Horrible functionality. 1/5
OMFG by anonym What a useless piece of garbage. I'm tapping flags, hoping to find a useful feature--but finding nothing. A useless piece of garbage. Winner? Just shows how low the bar is. 1/5
easy to misuse by mistake, much bad data. by anonym Good: combines search-for-parking with search-for-car. Bad: too easy to enter bad data by mistake (tap flag, save as parking space) erase your parked location. Need log of saved locations, and ability to erase mistaken entry of parkinglot location. Notice on their map how many private residences are marked as parking lots! 3/5
As best as can be expected by anonym Here's the thing - the GPS services available to consumers is not pinpoint accuracy. So, this app, much like many other GPS apps, will get you close to where you need to be, but not the exact spot. That being said, that's not a problem with this app - that's just the nature of using GPS. This app is ideal for theme park parking lots, or if you're parking somewhere in the city and heading far away. It will get you close enough to your car to spot it on your own. 4/5
by anonym great app 5/5
. by anonym I like it 4/5
Great app by anonym I have been using this app for over a year. It has led me to my car many times and kept me from many tickets from the meter maids. :-) 5/5
Was Good. by anonym Don't like new permissions. Don't want new revolutionary functionality. 2/5
Bad permissions by anonym This has been a useful app for years, without reading phone identity or using Bluetooth, which are just two among the many new permissions. 2/5
Tasking since we left Phoenix. by anonym Unecessary data use. 1/5
S4 user by anonym This has come in very handy quite a few times, works well and very helpfull. 5/5
I don't know what's going on with this app... by anonym But ever since the last update, it unnecessarily runs in the background, even when I have not used it. It is also sucking up my battery (I have the Galaxy Nexus so it is terrible to begin with). Currently it has used up 11% of my battery, even though I have not used the app. In reference, the screen has used 21% and Android OS 11%... So wth? Will uninstall until fixed. 1/5
poor app by anonym poor 1/5
Ok app. New rev eats battery by anonym I too have had this on my phone for years, but it is now the second hungriest app, after the Screen, for battery. It's inches from uninstall... 2/5
Too much battery use. by anonym Have had it on both my phones for many years but I now notice it is one of the greatest drains on my battery. Isn't there a way to make sure it's not always on? Who the check is confused about where they've parked every single day? I've actually never managed to use it correctly so I guess I will remove it until there is an update addressing these issues. 2/5
Getting worse. Uninstall by anonym This app usefull sometimes, but when it runs automatically in background and eats battery when you don't need it - thats no good (there is no options to manage this background process). Sorry, but if i can not manage apps on my phone, it goes into past. Uninstall. 1/5
Excellent by anonym Wow!, since the last update this app knows where I parked by itself and quite accurately. well done to the developers for this magic! would love to know how they did this , apps like this really turn my phone from a dumb device used to make phone calls to a "smart" phone. I wonder what will these devices be able to do in the future, its only up to the developers creativeness and imagination. Thank you for that 5/5
Uninstalled due to processor/battery use by anonym According to Watchdog, this app has been using almost 50% of my processor all day, even after a reboot. Otherwise I like it, but I can't have a parking app using all my battery. This has seemed to be an issue ever since it started automatically trying to guess when I park, which happens a lot since I ride the bus. This persists despite disabling that notification in the preferences. 2/5
Not accurate enough by anonym Automatically places park icon a block or 2 away. Usually need to be a little closer than that to be useful. 1/5
Battery waste by anonym Uses so much battery, don't install! Wish I could give it a 0 score 1/5
Always on by anonym I don't know how to turn this off I've turned off GPS and all other location settings. But its still using so much battery and data. Today its used 15% battery but I haven't been on it in days. I've never used the app for what it is supposed to be for. I accidentally clicked it once and it keeps giving me notifications. I can't turn it off so it's being uninstalled. It used the most battery out of everything after the screen 1/5
by anonym Nice app. 5/5
by anonym Does what it says needed more often than one might think 4/5
by anonym Works great on any ride 5/5
At one point I LOVED this app.. by anonym But the new "fixes" and updates have killed its functionality. You can no longer record the GPS location of the park vehicle. You get an error message requesting for you to turn on WiFi and GPS, even though they are both on... I keep waiting for the next update to fix this, but this day has not come and I'm tired of waiting. 2/5
