An App for That: Easy Anytime Parking with ‘Park Mobile’
An App for That is a regular feature at LGBTSr highlighting useful apps and technology tips for our readers.
We were walking down the street recently and my husband, who only pays for parking if there is no other option, noticed how many parking meters had no time on them, yet cars were parked beside them. Lots of cars, up and down both sides of the street. We checked the posted signs, and sure enough, they were all supposed to pay. Yet we had walked several blocks to evade the meters. What was going on?
We asked a server at the restaurant we went to, and she said, “Oh, they’re probably using Park Mobile. It’s a parking app.”
I don’t know why it had never occurred to me to get a parking app, but considering how many times I’ve wanted to park closer to our destination but had no quarters for a meter (the town in question still uses coin-fed meters), you’d think I would have gotten a clue much sooner. Which brings us to Park Mobile, one of the most popular parking apps available. Check out the features and see if it’s for you. It makes parking a breeze, and it’s as available as your nearest smartphone.
ParkMobile App Makes Parking A Breeze
Think of all the places you park for interviews and meetings, sporting events and concerts, food runs and flights. What if you could use one parking app to handle it all? What if you could add time without running back to the meter? Or reserve a space before you leave home? With ParkMobile, you can.
For day-to-day needs, you can quickly pay for on-street parking or reserve a space in a garage ahead of time. For concerts or sporting events, you can easily book your spot before heading to the stadium.
