Minneapolis Snow Emergency for Negative User Reviews
✓ Looking for a spot (where you are not!)There is a significant flaw in the updated version of this app. More often then not, I will look for a parking spot prior to leaving my current location. Meaning I need to look for a parking spot in a location that is different from my own as provided by gps. The new version of this map makes this nearly impossible, constantly dragging you back to your current location and not letting you look at other areas of the map. This promotes unsafe driving as I have to look at the map while driving... Hope this can be addressed, because this map is very helpful when functional..Version: 4.0
✓ Good info: crashes oftenThe app provides excellent info, but crashes every time I try to go "back" using the back arrow.Version: 3.0
✓ Buttons don’t workThis app is 100% non-functional, like most of MN’s government services. Needs to be overhauled. And please add push notifications so people know a snow emergency has been declared. St. Paul’s app works fine - maybe check out theirs and imitate. This app doesn’t require really cutting edge tech - a functional map, basically. Not too much to ask, Minneapolis. Get it together..Version: 4.0
✓ This app needs actual features.It has the rules for each day of a snow emergency and then links to the webpage in safari if you try to look up a street (and the map won't properly load.) This app needs features beyond those found on the web page....Version: 1.0
✓ RedesignSo this app is super useful but why does the update mean the app always zooms to your current location. If I park away from my house and want to check it out, I can’t, it keeps zooming into where I am every time. Outside of that the app is a nice redesign..Version: 4.0
✓ Useless and brokenThis app is pointless. All it does is open links in your browser. Some of the links are broken and point to nothing..Version: 4.0
✓ Just okay, lots of good info on it at leastFunctionality is all good except the snow emergency day is cut off on the home page where it says what day is in effect in red text so it’s hard to see what day we’re on. Also the alert system only alerts me of the first day via text and not on subsequent days which caused me to get a parking ticket..Version: 3.2
✓ HORRIBLE, CRAPPY APPThis app could have been SO MUCH better. It doesn't even tell you if there's a Snow Emergency in effect!!! Here's how to earn a 5-star rating: --Push Notifications for when a Snow Emergency is in effect. --Allow the app the show the user the current status and day # of the Snow Emergrncy. --GPS-enabled mapping of your current location's parking status. (This is so simple and obvious, I'm astounded it's not included. It's as if the person who came up with this has never used a smartphone.) --An interface that doesn't look like it was designed in the late-90s. This app in its current form is nothing more than a bookmark to the website. Utterly pointless..Version: 2.0
✓ New app is awful - bring back the old versionThe older version of snow emergency app was very basic and easy to find which day parking rules applied. Lots of visuals. The new apps it too detailed and I need my glasses to read the confusing descriptions of parking restrictions..Version: 4.0
✓ Needs push notificationsWhile this is a great app for knowing when there are snow emergency days, you shouldn't have to just regularly check for snow emergency days. One solution to this app: Push notifications for when there are snow emergency days..Version: 2.1
✓ App features not workingI just downloaded the app and the map feature is broken, and links to different files are also broken.Version: 4.0
✓ UselessThis app is pretty useless. Why would I use an app that is going to just pointless back to the website? It needs to tell you if a snow emergency has been declared, what day of the snow emergency it currently is, and then list the parking rules. Push notifications would be great, but even just having he I formation available on the app without the notifications would be helpful..Version: 2.0
✓ Parking Rules Map is terribleKeeps jumping to my current location! I’m trying to see the rules for where I live, but I can’t because it will jump to current location (my work). If the point of the app is to be able to see what side to park on for different locations, then this app does not work at all. NOT user friendly..Version: 4.0
✓ Poorly executed. No different than website.I couldn't get the MPLS snow emergency website map to load properly on my phone (safari) so I downloaded this hoping that an app built specifically for iphone would offer a solution. I got an "app" that links directly to the site anyway, offering the same sporadic loading of the map with the additional frustration of awful navigational controls. Also, for the past few hours I've received a "server not found-try again later" error, which makes the whole thing moot anyway. I love the city's texting alerts-but living and navigating downtown during a snow emergency goes beyond the normal "odd/even" rules of thumb and a proper map at the ready would be great..Version: 2.0
✓ It's OKI like the rules, but it really needs to show if there is a snow emergency in effect right now. Notifications would be ideal, but at least show what day of the snow emergency you are on. I get that they are concerned with people relying on old information, but I find that unlikely..Version: 1.0
✓ Wrong againJust starting using this app this year and here we are: it is day 2 ( and the city's website says as much) but the app says day 3. When is the info updated? So much need much this is not delivering any help right how.Version: 3.0
✓ Used to be great, terrible nowI used this app fairly consistently last year, I’m not sure when it was updated but it’s pretty awful now. Many links redirect you outside of the app and the few that don’t are riddled with error messages..Version: 4.0
✓ Poor.The interactive map doesn’t work, which is really the only reason to use this app. If you click on parking rules (easily found on their website or with a quick google search) you only find a broken link. Complete waste of time to download..Version: 4.0
✓ Winter Parking RestrictionsThis app NEEDS an option to view where you can park during the Winter Parking Restrictions, I parked where it was my understanding you could park (odd side of a non-snow emergency street) and was towed and ticketed for parking in a no parking zone, the rules are so confusing and this app that is supposed to help is completely useless until the Winter Parking Restrictions are lifted I mean we could potentially be having to try and figure this out for the next 3 weeks and like the Snow Emergency Rules just reading the rules doesn’t really help understand them as easily as pairing it with a map..Version: 4.0
✓ A Rear Wheel App with Bald TiresTry as hard as you want the map will stick in one place. Controls that are in responsive regardless of hard or soft touch. Maybe the battery is froze? Guess we have to get out and flag some strangers to swipes us out of here. On the plus side somebody found a use for a snow flake graphic from their first MySpace account..Version: 4.0
✓ PointlessThis really does nothing, we can use our phones to look at the website that will tell us the same info. The app tells u to call or go to the web page to see if there is an emergency..Version: 1.0
✓ Bare minimum of infoReally? If you can change the text to say day 1 (2,3) parking rules apply, you can say which side of the street to park on. Why do I have to clock a link to go to the web page to figure out whether to park on odd or even sides? It's ridiculous..Version: 4.0
✓ Still problematicI just open the new and improved application for Minneapolis snow emergencies. The links are broken for snow rules and for FAQs. You would think that they would make these functional on their new application but, not so much..Version: 4.0
✓ Website better than appDownloaded the app today and tried using the parking map to confirm where I can/can't park on snow emergency days. Buttons are non-functioning and navigation is limited. At most it allows me to use my current location but no red/green street shading appears and pressing the Day # buttons does nothing. Since the app doesn't function as well as the website, I'll just revert back to that and delete the app..Version: 4.0
✓ Terrible App, not workingThis app could be great, but instead it's a lazy copy and paste of posted info. Also the map doesn't work. Also navigating back to the home page doesn't work. Get a single engineer to spend a couple hours in this and it could be great..Version: 3.0
✓ Just go back to the old oneThis last update made a bare bones but functional app turn into a website from the early 2000’s. The map MIGHT load on your 3rd try, and if you wanted scroll around the map to find a street the good luck, the map pulls you back to your location and if you fight it then the app will force close.. The button are obnoxiously big and useless. And selecting what day to show doesn’t register when you press it. I’m on my WiFi (500mbps) and it acts like I have half a bar of signal. Yes this app needed an update, but this is 5 steps in the wrong direction. Just bring back the old version, at least it worked..Version: 4.0
✓ Web pages launched from an appThis works terrible in that everything in the app just links to the MPLS gov web site. The map telling you where to and where not to park doesn’t work on a phone. No way to provide feedback in the app..Version: 4.0
✓ Useless appNone of the map features seem to work. Only shows you where you currently are, I like to plan ahead. This app encourages you to use the device while driving for it to function..Version: 4.0
✓ Doesn’t workInteractive map doesn’t work for me at all. Link to snow rules broken. Put the information on the app and don’t redirect to the website. That’s the point of getting an app..Version: 4.0
✓ Broken...How do you go from an app that worked just fine to completely screwing it up?Did you (the developers) do any functionality testing? It’s impossible to drag the map and look up the parking rules in the location that I am going to because it constantly drags me back to my actual location... Please fix and for god sakes use it before you release it!.Version: 4.0
✓ Doesn’t workThe old version worked just fine for years. The latest version does not work. You should be able to click on the “Day 1”, “Day 2” or “Day 3” buttons to bring up the parking. Nothing. None of the buttons work at all..Version: 4.0
✓ Updated app is uselessThere wasn’t much to the old app, but at least you could view if there was a snow emergency in effect and see the parking rules for each day of the snow emergency. The updated app is essentially useless. The new map displays only your current location, does not allow you to pan/zoom/scroll, and only displays the first day of the snow emergency. The Facebook and Twitter buttons take you to the correct webpages, but they are not optimized for mobile, so also essentially useless. The call hotline button seems to be the only button that actually works correctly. Every other button on the app homepage goes to a bad link on the City website..Version: 4.0
✓ Dead wrapper of the websiteThis app is just a wrapper for the city website, and it's clunky. The website - and thus the app - currently do not show a snow emergency in effect (11:55) even though I got an automated email from the city declaring a snow emergency (11:13). Don't rely on this. Use the website in conjunction with email alerts..Version: 3.2
✓ Great idea but abandoned?This app was great when it was released. But the city of Minneapolis hasn’t updated it in two years. I don’t know if I can trust it any more. It looks antiquated, as the screen resolution is designed for much older devices. If they’d take the time to update this app, I would continue to use it..Version: 3.2
✓ No more useful than the websiteThis is just the same map that is on the city’s website with no extra features (except push notifications, which you can already sign up to get through text message). It would be much more helpful to have an app that tracks which day of the snow emergency the city is on, and which also includes winter parking regulations, which are separate from snow emergency parking rules..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Doesn't workThere is nothing here that isn't on the web. In fact, the street finder refers you to a page on the web that didn't work on my iPhone 5. Bottom line: if I have to go into a desk browser, I don't need this app cluttering up my phone..Version: 1.0
✓ Pointless appWhat is the point of an app if to see the current rules of the snow emergency you have to click on a link to go to a website? Last year this app was way better..Version: 4.0
