With HonkMobile, drivers can pay for parking right from their phones at any of the 2,000 locations and 190,000 parking spaces across North America. Whether you’re looking for city, off-street, hospital, school, or airport parking, Honk App has something to offer. Although HonkMobile’s concept reflects and addresses the actual needs of motorists in busy cities, the app has two major bugs and minor UI inaccuracies. What bothers me most is that users have to watch their fingers every time they want to add debit or credit card details because any accidental scroll upwards will lock the screen. Overall, a decent app, but requires a bit of polishing.
