Possibly the worst app ever
15/03/2025

I use parking apps regularly, but the design of this is appalling, making it so hard to set up and use. No autofill used so everything has to be typed in manually, no link to password generator to create a string password and no link to iOS stored credit card info. No Apple Pay option - and I don’t carry a physical card any more to enter the details. After struggling through this I went to set up a parking session - bemused by the start time for the session being set as the current time - it has to be set on a completely different part of the screen. As I was running very late at this point I made an error in entering my reg number when I paid - then I had to pay again using the correct reg number - bet I get a ticket…The best apps help you register, allowing login credentials from third parties such as Apple to protect your privacy - this app needs some serious rework.

Just awful

Parting apps should be quick and easy this none of those things. It does stupid things like forcing you to input your card details and then allowing you to use Apple Pay why was I forced to save my card details with the app, that is just the wrong way of doing things. I have going through so many hoops just to pay for my parking this just seems completely unreasonable. I just wanna pay for my parking and never have to use this app ever. In fact, it's bad enough that I'm probably never gonna park at this car park again.

Both the app and their desktop site are the worst I’ve ever used. Multiple attempts using my mobile and email to log in. It turns out you can only use your mobile BUT must use the International Prefix without the plus sign. Rather than you usual Xero then rest number. Then when you get in, you find you can’t PreBook despite the tab on the desktop saying PreBook! You can pay but your session starts immediately AND it states a place is not guaranteed. You just know they stay in business by fining Parkers and not by good custom service or good IT!

ECP don’t seem to know how to run their own app

I normally use Pay by Phone for a specific ECP car park in London but recently the payment wouldn’t do through on that app (probably due to it being a peak period for payments) so was advised by the ECP staff at the car park to download this app and use it instead. Made a couple of consecutive bookings for the day with full receipts in the app and on my credit card statement but then received a fine from ECP for parking without a valid Pay by Phone transaction. Clearly the left hand is not communicating with the right within ECP’s Dorset Square office!
