Parkbud - Parking & Travel Guide App Reviews

This app is very functional and easy to use. The user interface is clean and no unnecessary clutter. It has saved me from getting meter parking tickets. Easy to find my car from a huge parking lot.

Ive used this app for some time. The "get directions to walk back to my car" button hasnt worked for a long time. Also turning off sounds doesnt seem to actually turn off sounds, so merely opening the app will stop playing music/podcasts/etc which is quite annoying. I often have problems with the map zooming in and out while Im trying to find my way back to my car -- in theory if the "walk back" button actually worked I wouldnt have this issue. In principle the app is good, it just fails on polish and QA. Ive started to just pin a bookmark in the maps app instead of opening this up.

Usage tip: tap the clock to go straight to the numeric input panel rather than trying to drag the needle in an analog fashion to set your parking meter time limit. At first I thought the idea of a standalone app for timing your parking meter was dumb. However, using the devices built-in stopwatch or other generic timers really misses the mark. On the other hand, this app is surprisingly useful. I could do without some of the animated flare that slows things down a bit. But thats a minor annoyance which hopefully will be disabled through an optional setting in the future.

This app works great you can keep track of where you park with a map as well as how much time you have left it has ton of other features as well give it a try its well worth it

This app is worth my time to review. Very well done UI. App has all the functionality you would expect in a parking app and more.

Yes, the app is nearly useless and I rated it 4 stars! The app design, operation and stability is excellent. Its easy to use, looks good and very usable. Excellent job by the developer. So whats wrong? You can store only one single location at a time!!! When I go on a business trip, I want to store the location of my car in the airport long term lot. When I arrive where Im going, I want to store the location of the car rental lot. When I get to my hotel, I want to store that location. When I get to my office building, I want to store that location, and when Im out hunting lunch or dinner, I want to store the location where Ive parked my rental car. One location is useless to me.

I finally found a parking app that suits my needs. What more can you ask for . . .Parking timer, parking spots, eateries, gas stations it has everything I need. A little shaky on finding my car, but not a big deal right now. Keep improving your app. I do have one suggestion. Why dont you add the hours and/or minutes n the parking meter as well as a visual besides the timer. I find myself glancing at the meter a lot. Thanks.

Cant even figure out how to start the timer. Total piece of crap. Just use the built in timer on your phone.

This is a great app however, they are seriously overstepping their bounds by requiring use of your location data even when you arent using the app. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for this. I would rate this 5 stars if they were only requiring the use of my location data while using the app. As it stands Ill be switching to another parking location finder app.

Great app except that location services are always on which is a drain on your iPhone battery. This would be a five-star app if they would add the option "While Using the App" in "Location Services"!
