Parka.is 4+

So many annoyances and missed opportunities. Autofill for email and credit card doesn’t work anywhere in the app. The payment part feels extremely dodgy, and the sign up email confirmation went straight to phishing spam. But worst of all, the price for parking was never shown up front. Even when you check out from the parking spot, it just presents the card you saved and says “Pay now” — without a single indication of how much. The price was finally shown _after_ the payment is processed. The transaction fee was also high, or 86 kr on top of a parking cost of 116 kr. I’d highly encourage the developers to try other parking apps and play around with them to see what’s possible here.

Wanted to park to go visit a canyon in Iceland, the only way to pay was through the app, which is extremely stupid considering not everyone will have internet. Another issue is the payment verification system they use is completely nonfunctional. My friend and I tried 5 separate cards and couldn’t get a single one authenticated. We couldn’t pay for parking at all and had to leave. Trash app, fix it or don’t require it.

Not sure why all the bad reviews. Drove around the whole ring road with no issues. I was able to find the parking location, paid, and done avoiding paying machines! Only area the app didn’t work was in downtown Reykjavik. Kept saying total was zero even during hours you are supposed to pay, so we used the pay machine for that time only.

*if your going to be in an area with not so great service you can always pay ahead the parking payment is for 24hrs.
