Sentry Mobile

Sentry Mobile is the first parking application that actually interacts with your parking meter in real time! Sentry Mobile lets you buy time on an MPS parking meter and the meter instantly updates to show you your remaining time with an icon indicating you paid with the smartphone app! You, as a parker, will see an easy-to-view map of nearby meters including visibility into actual current parking space availability.

With Sentry Mobile you aren't penalized with per-transaction fees or hidden “convenience fees”.

You can setup an MPS “stored value” Parker account and pay for parking at any MPS meter. You no longer have to carry coins or swipe credit cards to pay for parking! The Sentry Mobile application allows you to see your account balance at any time, and to replenish your account balance as needed.

When you pay for your parking and pull into your parking space, the MPS Meter will automatically update with the amount of time you purchased and display a smart phone icon to indicate that your time was purchased via the Sentry Mobile application. No more “guessing” about whether your mobile payment was actually properly applied to your parking spot!

You will receive automatic in-application alerts when your parking session time is running out, and you can see a quick summary of parking sessions you have purchased in the past. The “Where's my car” feature navigates you quickly back to your car.

Solid App

Have used this app for a while now and it is a great tool for parking in the supported cities. Also, they have a help portal for the App if you have any questions that has been helpful for me before.

This is a great app & easy to use!

The village I live in brought in these electronic meters. I got the app and found it very easy to use and it synced with my phone's GPS to get my location. Then greed interceded and now the company is going to charge $0.30 per payment transaction. So a $0.25 parking transaction will cost $0.55. I'd venture to say the majority of parking transactions in my village are short term requiring only $0.25. Instead of getting paid by the village they are collecting the funds for, they are hitting the consumer. I'll just start carrying more quarters in my car.
