Why download an app and create an account unless you were going to use it frequently? I've always just used the website to pay to park without an account.

All apps should function on the web.

I prefer parkmobile over waiting in line at kiosk, especially since they're broken or barely functional (try seeing their screens in the Florida sun).

Weekly: yes, PWAs (progressive web apps) are not only the future, but the present.

Most every app you are using has a mobile-reactive webapp that'll invade your security + privacy less.

Microsoft has adopted this heavily. Outlook, for example, is now a cross platform PWA.
