Maybe in other cities it's better, but if you're in Cairns... don't use Beam. I paid $17 searching for a poorly indicated parking spot (the alternative would have been $18 for parking outside the designated parking). On top of all the restricted zones...better take an Uber, for less than a third of the cost (in my case, we were with two). App deleted.

Bought 1-week subscription while visiting Albuquerque. They enrolled me in auto-renewal which I noticed only after they charged me extra 3 times. It is impossible to cancel a subscription if you are not in the city with Beam service, in which case all almost all functionality of the app (including managing subscriptions) is disabled.

Been using this app fine the last 2 months. Suddenly keep failing in the payment method. Tried multiple times and it just shift from successful to unsuccessful. Its infuriating. I had to walk yesterday due to this inconvenience and now its still not working so Im not gonna use it until its resolved. UPDATE: I TRIED A DIFFERENT CARD AND IT WORKED FOR AWHILE THEN MIDWAY PAYMENT FAILED. SO IS IT STILL MY PROBLEM? NO FIX YOUR APPPPPPP!!!!!!!
