Great app but..

This app is worth having while camping. However it’s not working for me in Morocco, while my French friend app is fully working in Morocco! I wrote and hopefully will have a response. American campers.

Can’t post review

Tried to post a review about a spot and the post button is not accessible because the keyboard cannot be hidden. Worthless to comment but at least you can search for spots, although you won’t know if they’re good or bad spots since you can’t post a review.

Response from developer

Hi, if the keyboard hides the "send" button, you can click on the "back" button of your phone and you will see the button to send comments. Thank you

Great For Europe outside U.K.

This app is certainly the best for outwith the U.K. We have been using it extensively for our holidays abroad over the last 7 years but it’s starting to get very frustrating when turning up at some of the parking overnight stops to find they are only suitable for a small VW type van.

Would be much better if the reviewer put what size of van they travelled in on their review in order to be more beneficial to other users. For lack of this the app loses a star. Still a great app though and well worth subscribing to. 👍

Hello, thank you for your evaluation. We are pleased that you are satisfied with the application! When you open a place, you can click on the profile of the place creator and see which vehicle he has. Have a nice day, the park4night team :)

Paid for offline but downloads never work

Why pay for the offline if you cannot download the maps? The bar gets to 99% but never finishes. Reinstalled the app several times but no joy.

Useless in the USA

Save your money. Totally useless in the USA. Tried to email them got very corporate response- didn’t answer any questions ….get RV Parky instead

Response from developer

Hi, park4night is indeed less used in the USA than in Europe: as users travel less there, there are less places added there. The app is working in the USA, it's just that there are less places added :)

Beware fake reviews

Sad to see theres no action being taken about fake accounts and inaccurate reviews on the app.
anticampers are creating accounts and making fake and scathing reviews, some even copypasted and totally irrelevant to the parking sites. I’ve reported this issue previously but nothing seems to have been done, examples of these accounts include thorkel9, highlandfea, and ClockworkSky. It’d be nice to see maybe an upvote/downvote function for comments, or maybe some analytics being used to remove these fake reviewers.

Superb

I use this App daily to find places to park / fill / camp. Used it throughout Uk, France, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland & Austria. Never failed me. It’s very useful having the data downloaded for offline use in low network areas & I really like that the reviews are current & by the users. I try & put a review & pictures everywhere we stay to help others as things change & I know how helpful they are for me. I would say it’s indispensable, don’t leave home without it!

Invaluable

Without this app I think we would be driving around now looking for somewhere to stop. A must for motorhomers. It’s also essential for us all to give feedback and plot places we find because things change and nobody wants to drive for a length of time based on a listing here only to find it’s changed or no longer available.

Hello Cawsy66, thank you for your evaluation. We are pleased that you are satisfied with the application! Have a nice day, the park4night team :)

Requires work.

We used this App 2 years ago when visiting Scotland and it was great. We’re currently using it and it’s gone downhill drastically. Moderators you need to clean up peoples posts, the App is clearly called Park4night, not park for a few hours during the day.
People are posting about stops that are not for overnighting wasting our time wading through lots of options causing much confusion. Why post “a great place but no overnight stays” creating a map entry, wasting space on the map and peoples time searching through unsuitable options.
Why not get people to fill in a questionnaire style form to enable posting, things like -
“Can you park overnight” yes/no
“Are there height restrictions” yes/no
“Is the road accessible for large motorhomes” yes/no
“Is there a charge” yes/no
This can eliminate the wheat from the chaff making what was a great app usable again. Last night we wasted 20/30 minutes each time we went somewhere unsuitable leaving us in a noisy roadside lay-by at 10pm with 3 children under 8, not a nice experience.
Why don’t you incorporate the App ‘What Three Words’ as a means of locating places, last night we drove round and round trying to find somewhere that in the end had height restrictions. We navigated small roads with no passing places to end up miles down a lane not being able to get into the spot anyway.
Please make this app great again.................

Response from developer

Good morning! In our app you will find a category "Parking Day Only", it means you cannot stay overnight. If you find a place that is published under different category, and the overnight is prohibited, please report it to us by sending an alert. Also, in every place you you can check the price, services and restrictions. Please contact us at contact@park4night.com and we will answer all your questions. Kind regards.

Offline mode

I’ve been a full paid member for a few years now but it seems whenever I try to use the offline mode, due to no phone reception/internet , the app keeps asking me to update to the latest maps, even though I only downloaded them a couple of days before! This renders the app useless in poor reception areas so please either respond to my review or fix the problem or I’m going to delete it as it’s not fit for purpose.
