INFO-Neige MTL
The app connects in real time to the city's open data and displays the status of snow loading operations using a simple and intuitive interface. It allows you to show your position and receive a notification when the status of the street on which you are parked changes, helping you to avoid having your vehicle towed. The application allows you to record your searches in a list of favourites and consult the location of parking spaces that the city offers free of charge.

App looks great, but the information is totally unreliable. A great idea woefully executed. The app presents information that is at odds with the signs on the street. Useless; or even worse, misleading. Wish I could give it negative stars.
Can't rely on the operation dates for snow removal. It was saying no operation on the street that I was parked so I leave my car overnight the next morning I find that they cleared that street, so I take out my phone and I look at the street that I was on and sure enough it will still saying it was clearing snow the next day. Something is wrong with the people running the application, fix it because this could be a great tool
The app doesn't show any color on any Street, but it does send me notification warning that they going to clean my street where I marked my car parked. This didn't happen in previous winters, I just did download the update but it didn't help Please have it fixed asap Thank you
My household has 3 cars. Since I am home the most often. I move the cars when need be. The Application only allows 1 car to be tagged in a favorite position. So the App needs to be install on 3 different devices for each car.
Easy way for the city to target car owners. I got home from work early yesterday around 1. Check the app continuously until midnight, still shows blue. Go to the car today, towed with a ticket. Check the app, and shows its DUE for clearing tomorrow. Don't trust this app. Can't wait till I move out of this dishonest city.
Great app. wasted $400 in snow removal towing fees before I got this app, now I set my position and get alerts when MTL is towing the street side I parked on. thank the F this app was made possible. Wish I was told about this app before I moved to DT MTL.
I downloaded the app after the first major snowfall of winter 2021. It gave me alerts fast enough to avoid towing. Alerts for when clearins is scheduked is fast. There is a small lag between when the trucks are actually on the street and when the app said "in progress" and the same for when it said "Cleared".
Thank you for providing such a great app. I've used it all of winter of 2020-2021 and was able to plan ahead on where to re-park my car safely. The alarms worked perfectly and updates made promptly, so I didn't get a single fine this year.
for some reasons, no circle or status show on any street at all. At first I though the snow loafing add never been done yet this winter but signs started showing up and it still doesn't work... last winter the app was working properly and the infos were reliable in my region.
Useless app, Not accurate at all. Usually when its blue that means they gonna clean the streets aswell too just like when its Orange. The app most of the time shows blue and the snow removal signs where there and they came next morning (Sunday) out of all days. And app was still showing Blue. How hard can it be to hire a good programmer. Dont reley on this app. Your car will get towed. Not recommended. I can make a better app then this.
why does MTL have this app if they aren't even bothered to use it properly ..... honestly seems like a good idea with a fairly good system behind it, but a bad usage from the contractors/the city make it 100% useless rn ** and for a extra little side note: picking up snow at night when all the cars are in the street instead of at their jobs is probably the worst idea the city has had yet to allow us not to sleep anymore **
Terrible app, doesnt accurately tell you scheduled cleaning. Also the feature which allows you to report issues with snow removal is bugged and doesnt let you post. Good job Mtl, almost 1 week since the last snowfall and my neighborhood hasn't been touched. Probably busy making sure Valerie Plante's driveway is shoveled.
Not accurate. They're cleaning the snow on my street & the app is still showing no operation!
Frequently fails to notify prior to snow loading operations on parked, or favorite street sides. Individuals, or families with multiple vehicles should be able to save the positions of all their vehicles, and be notified accordingly. Because of the risk of incurring towing expense$$$, the notification scheme should be persistent at regular intervals until deactivated manually for each vehicle position as appropriate.
I'm having the same problem as Ben Gonzalez.... "no circle or status show on any street at all". I've UNinstalled and then REinstalled the app several times but get the same result. After using this app for several winters (& being satisfied with it), this is the 1st year I've encountered this problem. What's happening?????
Use at your own risk in the Plateau Mont Royal area! This app is not accurately showing what snow clearing operations are planned or are happening on the streets. Maybe it's another plot by the city to further confuse car owners about parking, to make them pay more fines. Already Montreal's parking signs are not user friendly and now this app just adds to further nightmare during snow clearing operations. This app should just be banned if it can't be relied upon or isn't accurate!
How hard can it be to update the streets accurately. This app is literally useless as nothing shown on the screen is correct. You WILL be towed/ticketed if you rely on it.
App crashes everytime you try to scroll info screen to see last few lines, Samsung Galaxy TabS6 in landscape
The app is no longer updated by the city of Montreal during snow-clearing operations (since Dec 2018), so unfortunately this app is completely useless.
do not let this app be your first and only info. the app said it was the right side of the street that was no parking. went out the change my car they got the wrong side of the street wrong on the app. went out side for nothing.
useless. Give false information and when you try to send a notification there is no "submit " button. Great job, on people's taxes !!!
overall, I love the application. In thr summer months, I think this framework has the potential to tell us about street cleaning operations.
I didn't expect much from this app due to the lower rating, but I have to admit I'm impressed. It actually works fine and accurately in my area in LaSalle.
Hum.. Why is it only in English? I might be blind though and I didn't find the language button (which then should be made more accessible). A Montreal's application only available in English seems a little bit weird.
it looks nice and hope it will notify me at time but as far as I see.... the road that has been cleared since last night says NOT cleared.... I dont know if I can trust this app....
For the last 2 weeks the app gives completely wrong info for my neighborhood. Reported the issue multiple times while providing pictures of the signs on my street and nothing was done by the developers to correct it. At that point the app serves literally no purpose.
