“Parkbud™ has the beauty & sophistication that quite possibly will encourage you to use it when you are only parked in your garage.”

“ The app itself resembles a handcrafted, expensive timepiece, complete with simulated moving parts, ticking clock hands, rotating gears, & polished buttons that gives the app a defined, but techie feel.

“The app doesnt just look pretty either. Finding parking is accurate, setting the meter time is simple...”

Pros and cons of Parkbud - Parking & Travel Guide app for iPhone and iPad

Parkbud - Parking & Travel Guide app good for

Very beautiful App! Well done and with many options to make it work. I have only one idea to improve it: sometimes you cant leave what you are doing to get your car, then you will pay for more time and this isnt possible in the streets but in parking places that charges you the first hour for $x and the more time, more $$. Another situation is parking in Shopping centers. You pay $ for 2 hours and 1/2$ for each hour. So, the App should let me know how much I will pay for 4,5 hours, for example.

THE best, estava procurando e achei..rssss. Excelente vale a pena baixar. Bjsssss

A very useful app, and its also a lot of fun. Worth the money.

This is one of those rare, best in class applications. Its beautifully designed with clever animations and sounds, while simultaneously not detracting from usability. If you could use a parking reminder, this is the app for you! Ive used about 3 other similarly featured apps - this one definitely takes the cake.

If youve just 1 parking ticket or wondered a in parking lot saying "But I swore that I put the car right over there", then this apps for you. Wish that it was the first app that I bought.

This is a fantastic application but i keep my phone on mute and the alarm is completely silent but should vibrate the phone. Because of this I have to take the phone off mute to use the alarm but forget to do so. I would like to see an option for this in the future.

Some bad moments

The alarm function worked when I first bought this app, the last 3 times Ive used it, the alarm didnt notify me that the time was almost up. Today I got a $32 ticket. Not a good app

Pay $1.99 and forced to have a Facebook or twitter account to be able to use some features that are advertised in the features as using with Navigon.

To make a payment, I chose to input my phone number... But once I entered it, there were no place to press "enter". So, Im stuck at that screen and cant go back to the previous screen... Would this be a "glitch"?

The Postal code for my town is the same for all addresses. This app has absolutely the wrong postal code for my town. He relies on open street map.org which is really spotty for most of Canada. They also dont seem to reply to an email request for help. None of the help videos play on my 4S. Basically, at least for Canadians, this is a crippled app. I cant recommend this at all.

Used in Canada in a provincial park. Placed marker, came back to discover I wasnt getting any closer to the marker - later found out initial marker placement was wrong by a km. Will stick to dropping a pin via Google Maps.

Hey guys,when The next UPDATE??! Come on I love this app but we need a cool update,looking foward for it!
