Is there a parking meter reminder for WM?

Is there a WM app that reminds you to feed your parking meter? Something like http://www.iskyapps.com/parking.html for iPhone?

You could just set a new appointment in calendar, but you wouldn't get all of those features I suppose.

And powersms can schedule to send you a text if you want.

I never bought into Apple's "there is an app for that" propaganda, but I really wish there was an app for this..

just set an alarm for an hour or however long you need if you just want the barebone functionality

you can just use a countdown app for the time you have left on the meter

I guess I don't understand why you would ever need more than that??

If I was parking for say an hour, I would set an alarm for probably 50 minutes to remind me the time was almost up.......

I use SPB Time version 3.0 (awesome app) & that has both alarms & countdown timers, either one would work just fine......

I'm strongly inclined to believe that you've never actually tried to set an alarm for this purpose. Have you?

In order to use the native WM alarm for this purpose, you'd have to (1) calculate what time the meter will expire - which could be cumbersome if you added to a non-expired meter and have something like 37 minutes to go, (2) set the day of the week for the alarm, including the current day of the week, and (3) a description of the alarm. If you mess up any of the three steps, it won't work. Now, trying to do these in front of a meter in the freezing cold winter is not fun. That's why i was looking for an app that could take care of it in five seconds.

Maybe I'll look into Spb Clock that some other folks have suggested, but it's still another app.
