AppyParking+ Plan, Park & Pay 4+

So impressed with this app. Am parking all over London for work and it keeps costs to a minimum as I can see where the cheaper alternatives are, even if it means a few extra walks to benefit! Have saved at least £130 this year in parking charges so the app is paying for itself easily and love the interface.
Totally recommend.

Hi, thank you for the review, we're glad you're enjoying using the AppyParking+ app! Thanks, Team Appy

in Harrogate you used to just select park, go away, return when you wanted drive away and it charged for time you were parked which was the whole point of it - now you have to set a time then remember to extend it if you overstay. additionally if you touch the wrong street in the same zone, which is very easy to do you will get a parking ticket - as others have found - which makes it totally useless. You may as well just pay at the contactless machine without having paying the app "convenience fee" I and others will be making representations to North Yorkshire Council regarding the pointlessness and suggesting they switch to Ring-go - as that is used in the station car parks in Harrogate - I suspect the same is true in Dundee. However, the Auto Entry and Exit with the barriers at multi story car parks it works well - so will probably continue using for this feature alone - just found that Ringo also has auto barrier function. ***UPDATE*** Developer response is good - regarding the ground scanning sensors and the issues - it would however have been an idea to explain clearly and concisely the situation with the scanners and steps necessary hopefully in the short term, thus avoiding problems with parking tickets etc. and resulting in p***ing people off. I’ll start using it once it’s sorted which should not take longer than 3 months if the system is any good!

Hi, Thank you for your comments, we’re sorry you haven’t been enjoying our new app. Unfortunately, due to a series of technical issues with the on the ground sensors, we have had to revert to in-app timed parking sessions, as opposed to the previous frictionless 'One-Click' parking solution that you alluded to. Our team are working hard with our hardware supplier of the sensors to try and remedy this and bring back this much loved feature for our users.

I would suggest to put “Do not park unless you have a resident permit” on the parking slots that are marked on the map with a green tick and say “Free To Park on the resident permit parking slots on the street. It gives a misleading message and led to me receiving a fine of £65 for parking there for 20 minutes. I relied on AppyParking for quite some time, but this time it has really let me down. What is the point of the premium access if it doesn’t give precise information and ensure I am definitely parked correctly to avoid the fine.

I hope these improvements can be made, however I am extremely disappointed and frankly sad about this incident.
