Parking Mobility app good for
Great app. Quick and really nice looking. Great time saver for looking for accessible parking.
This app is great for helping access around a key service : disability parking. There are some new releases coming that will make it even better.
Im temporarily with limited motion and have only had my parking pass since Feb. This means I am not "in the know" with where they are, particularly in other parts of the city. Cant wait to use the violation report function!
Michelin Man commented on Parking Mobility - letting others know about a great idea.
The Parking Mobility App is a new ingenious way of getting Social Justice on a self-egotistical individual who parks in the Disability Spot with no Permit or personal need to be there. They come bouncing out of the store clicking their security buttons on their keys and jump into their vehicle with little if any goods purchased. You stare at them and wish you could have had a sledge hammer in your hand. Using this App allows you to take a rear view of their Plate with enough in the picture to show the disability location, take a picture of the front with mirror and dash with no permit visible click on the GPS location and email to the appropriate authority for their appropriate action. Hopefully resulting in a Fine. I love it, now I just do a Slow Burn and Smile and push the email button.

I took a few pictures tonight and left the scene because i was in a hurry and when i wanted to report the violation I couldnt upload the pictures. You can only upload them on the spot which is not very practical. Definitely something that needs improvement. Otherwise a great tool!
The app is very easy to use. Just take 3 pics as prompted by the app in the "report new violation" section, enter the license plate, and send it. Right now, reports are used to compile data. If enough reports are made, local municipalities are more likely to get on board and start using the reports to catch violators real time.
Some bad moments
I was enthused until it expected an overly difficult password to even register. Hint to author: this is not a financial or social media app, there is no reason for maximum security. So I didnt even register and deleted the app. Otherwise I cant comment, except that there are so many "disabled" people that I can rarely park my wheelchair van.
This app is ridiculous (email,password,pictures at that moment?! Really?!)
I just want to report abuse of ignorant people who abuse parking in the handicapped parking spaces.
This app wants you to get beat up or get into verbal confrontations with inhuman individuals who already are selfish and abusing the system. The first review on here is the only reason it has three stars. (Because one of there tech support or creator insist on giving directions in a review)
As a newly disabled person who is still learnig how to function, and who doesnt have a personal mobility scooter yet, I would *desperatly* love a feature that would let me also drop, say, a nice BLUE pin on places that provide courtesy scooters for their customers.
I am currenty limited to 2 general merchandise stores, 2 wholesale clubs, 2 hardware stores, and 2 grocery stores, and its frustrating as all hell !!!
Looking forward to finding parking easily and helping others do the same. Great idea!!
Ive had it since late March (2011) and it has not functioned. I cannot log in via the app, I cannot submit parking violation reports and the website has apparently had no organizational activity since over a year ago. I tried to contact support on the site, but you have to register with an adclick agency (called Get Satisfaction) just to be able to submit it. Why?! Why cant I submit directly to Parking Mobility or Coal Harbour (the parent company)?
Its a great idea, but it has ceased to be functional (at least on iPhone), as evident by only 2 (!) reviews in over a year.
I wish I would get the 20 % I would make a living helping people that deserve it I see it abused all day .
Will they ticket even on privet probity !
