Description
Smooth Parking is the best guide to street parking in NYC. We make it easy to find street parking and save your parking spot. In New York City we also have discounted garage parking!
Just enter how long you need to park for and it will show you where you can legally park on a street. Smooth Parking has the most accurate on-street parking database, and it is the only app that takes into account street parking holidays. The app will even show you which street spots are metered (blue lines) and which street spots are about to become legal (yellow lines). If you see a yellow line you have a very good chance of finding an open spot on a street because parking is not yet legal there. The map can rotate in the direction your car is headed, so you can easily see the parking restrictions and which side of the street they apply to.
Smooth Parking is the only app that can save your spot on the street with one click and automatically find the parking restrictions. It will even notify you when the legal parking time is up.
SUBSCRIPTION In order to see street parking information you will need to be subscribed. Your first month will automatically be free, and you will not be charged if you cancel before the end of your first month. Your subscription will remain free if you contribute to the SmoothParking community by reporting 10 open spots a month. To report open spots just click on a line on the parking map and then click on the info window and then you will see the option to report open spots. Even if you report that the street is full (0 open spots) you will still get credit for contributing.
DISCOUNTED GARAGE OFFERS Garages have been added to the parking map in and around NYC. All of them offer a guaranteed spot and a discounted price for Smooth Parking users. No need to make a reservation and pay in advance, we will give you a guaranteed spot. The guarantee is solely for your benefit. The guarantee does not obligate you to go to the garage, but if you go to the garage you won’t be turned away.
OPEN SPOTS * Shows open spots on streets in real-time (currently showing very limited amounts in NYC)

This app was very helpful during my first time in NYC! Instead of using the
public transport, we wanted to make use of the rental car since it was
already paid for our whole road trip. Finding a good and inexpensive
parking spot was a lot easier using Smooth Parking, specially because we
were able to plan in advance for the best streets or garages near our
destinations. I wished I could use this app in the city I live, as I would
certainly be able to avoid losing time finding a street spot or money to
costly garages. This is one of my first reviews about an app ever! Besides
being a great app, I decided to so because I think most of the bad reviews
are not fair.
★★★★★
Saved my life This app save me so many headaches in NYC. All the information provided was accurate, and I ended up leaning to read the street signs for verification.
★★☆☆☆
I don't need to know where open spots are, but knowing what is a legal spot is a really great feature. Unfortunately, you can't get this unless you pay. HOWEVER, this and other features are free on the iPhone. Unacceptable!
★★☆☆☆
Horrible App. It charges you money on a monthly basis!!! NOT WORTH IT!!! First of all, you have to pay high rate for parking in NYC & we have your pay for this app too? RIDICULOUS.
★★☆☆☆
Useless. No updates on spots available. I can just look at the signs to make sure if I can park there. I reported open spots, which would give you free subscription. I was charged for a month subscription even though I was well above the required number of reports.
