Minneapolis Snow Emergency

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.

There 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.

This 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.

Downloaded 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.

I like this app, except the area stating the day of the emergency is partially covered. You can only see the very top of the line, which makes it impossible to tell if the number is 2 or 3. Believe me, it is crucial to know if you have to park on the street! Please fix!
