Find a parking spot with the Open Spot app

If you hate finding a parking spot as much as I do you will be happy to hear that now your Android phone can help in the search. Google has launched an app called “Open Spot” for all Android devices. The concept is simple. Let the app know when you are leaving a spot, and check it when you need one. Spots are shown on a map and color coded by how long they have been open. The more spots you put up the more “karma points” you gain.

The only issue is that this app depends on everyone using it. So download it and earn some karma points and help your fellow Android users find some parking.
