Mobile App Review: BestParking - Compare Parking Rates, Free App (7.7 Samsung Galaxy Tablet, Android)

We used this app on a recent trip and found it very useful. You start it by specifying a city and a time period that you are interested in. It shows you a map of the city which includes street names, bus stops, metro stops, attractions. On top of this good map of the city you are shown parking areas along with their prices. The few we used were accurate.

It covers a number of metropolitan areas. I checked it for Boston and we also used it on our trip to Montreal, Canada.

Some relatively minor things did not work perfectly:
- It seem to identify our position incorrectly, we had to scroll the map to where we were manually ignoring the red star that marked our position.
- Auto rotate is not supported, the display is always in vertical orientation
- The map display is a tad slow to repaint, but it does have a lot of info so it is understandable.


This app works well on my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 Tablet (my Galaxy 7.7 review) running Android HoneyComb 3.2. I had no technical problems and the app scales to my screen size very nicely.

Overall we found it to be useful and we will use it again.



This app is free from Amazon Android Store and
