At some point Sunday, the app will prompt users to install an update, require them to enter a new password and then re-enter payment information.
Though it will seem only like an update to an existing app, it will actually replace the existing app with a new one behind the scenes. The new version will no longer work for off-street municipal parking.
The change is the result of a new company, Flowbird, taking over a city parking management contract. The contract with Flowbird also includes replacing the city's aging parking meters.
Users should report problems with the change to 311, according to a city news release. The app isn't required to pay for parking; all meters accept coins, and most accept credit cards.
From small businesses to giants like Target, retailers are benefitting from the $10 billion industry for South Korean pop music, including its revival of physical album sales.
