Updates
The company has enhanced its parking app over the years. In the latest version, launched in September 2022, users can notice overall efficiency boosts and refinements/bug fixes. As always, Park Mobile is there to provide its customers with a better parking experience than before.
The app also lets you know how much time you have left before your time runs out. The best part about this new update? It will inform you if your parking session has expired so that you won't get a ticket! The pay-by-phone option is one of the latest updates. This feature allows customers to pay for their parking spot with coins or credit cards. It lets you pay immediately and shows how much time is left on your meter (and what happens next).
Features
1. Expiration Notifications - The Parkmobile app notifies you when your parking is about to or has ended. This way, you can extend your parking session directly from your phone.
2. Parking Zones and Maps- The app lists all the on-street and off-street parking zones in the area serviced by Parkmobile, including their rates and time limits.
3. Payment Gateways - Parkmobile enables drivers to pay for parking from the convenience of their mobile device without ever having to stop driving, get out of their car, find an attendant, or fumble with change.
4. Reserve Parking - Don't waste time circling the block looking for a parking spot if you need to drive into the city for business. ParkMobile lets you secure a parking spot in tens of thousands of garages around the United States.

The ParkMobile app is excellent because it covers many locations and venues, including college, theater, stadium, beach, and airport parking. The functionality is fantastic, but it sends emails instead of app notifications to one place.
The app is excellent for locating cheap parking spots and has clear directions. It is straightforward to use, and payment only takes a few minutes.
