Smart Reminders Save your parking spot and get a reminder when its time to move. If you park on the street, the default reminder time is how long you have left to park based on the rules. *NOTE: reminders are currently NOT working due to technical issue with Apple servers. We apologize for this issue and will be replacing the reminder system with a better one in the next update. Search Type an intersection, address or landmark in the search box after tapping the search button. Previous search history is automatically bookmarked to call up at a later date. Daily Parking Regulations & Advisories Tap the logo to see if alternate side parking regulations are suspended or if there are other advisories you may need to know. Detailed help for using the app is here as well. PLEASE NOTE: You need an internet connection to use PrimoSpot; however, you can pull up your saved parking spot and notes without a connection. On the first generation iPhone, the position may not be as accurate as the newer devices. An iPod Touch is not recommended, since an internet connection is required to load real-time parking information, but PrimoSpot will work when connected to WiFi. Please check primospot.com for additional coverage areas as they are added. What's New in Version 2.1-Much better code for getting current location-When viewing garages in list view, there is a new sorting option for "near". This will show garages closest to your current location -When showing garages "near" in list view, distances update every 5 seconds -Mobile coupons now cache for 24hrs. This will help when going into garages with no data access: just load the coupon before entering and it will be ready when you check out -Misc bug fixes and speed optimizations Customer ReviewsWarning - This App Does Not Work (1 star)Fake app. All you get are black balloons. Waste of money - not useful at all. This app used to be great (3 stars) Somewhere along the life of this app, the colored indicators all went to black so it's no longer possible to quickly see what areas are safe to park for how long. It still works for marking where you park and setting reminders, but it basically lost half of its functionality.
