### 2/5 — Reserve a bay/prepay

*2026-04-08, version 5.1*

On the website, reserve a bay asks me to download the app. Where is it? Nothing about reserve a bay.
I’m sorry but as a developer. This is quite sad. Have you tried other countries parking apps?

### 2/5 — Automatically update the number of available parking bays

*2024-07-19, version 5.1*

Please automatically update the number of available parking bays. 

Specifically, when you’re wanting to know the number of parking bays available at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. 

Or, add the functionality to “pull” the screen down to manually force a parking availability sync. 

Syncing appears to only happen when you click/tap back to the home screen.

### 2/5 — No book a bay but Map works

*2017-08-14, version 4.3*

No better than going to google maps. At least Wilson web has a Bookabay feature

### 2/5 — Pay function doesn't work

*2017-07-07, version 4.2*

Cannot pay for parking through the app as advertised. A bit disappointed.

### 1/5 — Absolute waste of time

*2013-01-31, version 2.3*

This app is an absolute waste of time. It doesn't even open. Why don't the developers fix the bugs before releasing? Take it off the app store

### 1/5 — Sounds like it could be great, but...

*2013-01-27, version 2.3*

I can't get into this app, I only get continuous error messages and have to shut the app down manually from the task bar. But when it's a little less glitchy I think it could be handy, more so on days where there are events on in the city or during the Christmas shopping period. Keep at it :)

### 1/5 — Not good enough!

*2012-12-05, version 2.3*

Takes ages to load, let alone open in the first place. If you don't get a connection error messages that you cannot cancel, apart from closing the App from the task bar!

Don't use this App if you are in a hurry, trying to find parking spots or info. It's got good potential, but not in its current format. I know the App is free, but that shouldn't be a reason to release a below par App!

The first fix should be: quicker loading time.

Until its fixed and updated, I'd rather use other parking utility App!

### 3/5 — Great idea.

*2012-08-15*

Great idea.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work for us

*2012-04-18, version 2.2*

Didn't open on mine or wife's phone. Shame because it seemed like handy app

### 2/5 — Most important part not working!

*2012-03-13, version 2.2*

Great app but available bays section keeps coming up with information not available error. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Good but stopped working ?

*2012-03-06, version 2.2*

Was working great but it's stop working for some reason?

### 4/5 — Need details of height restrictions

*2012-01-31, version 2.1*

This is a great app and very useful. Would get 5* if it included height restrictions for all car parks. For example, the concert hall car park has a height restriction that prevents access to a lot of unmodified 4WDs. And let's face it, there are a lot of 4WDs in Perth.

### 4/5 — Amazing but..

*2012-01-26, version 2.1*

This is an awesome app in every respect except when you want info on a particular cpp and it says no info available

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-06-24, version 5.1*

No more options as shown in photos

### 1/5 — App Upgrade a disaster!

*2025-11-19, version 5.1*

Previous app terrific!.. new app a disaster!.. why?

### 1/5 — Latest update doesn’t load

*2024-02-02, version 4.7*

4.7 just shows loading screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t have most useful information

*2023-09-06, version 4.7*

When you get to their car parks they’ll tell you the number of  vacant spaces but they haven’t included that in this app. So instead of driving around aimlessly looking for spaces you could drive to the most likely one.  City of Perth is ages behind South Perth, Subiaco and Vincent in their modernisation of parking.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-05-14, version 4.7*

Can’t even pay for parking with it. Completely useless

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2022-04-26, version 4.7*

What an appalling app!
- Can't see parking locations for all of the irrelevant points of interest littered on the map.
- Can't close the filter section with the "close" X top left, nonresponsive.
- Can't see what is being typed in search box (white on white) and only hits are if you happen to search for the exact name of a parking station in the database.
App needs to be either overhauled or pulled.

### 1/5 — This App is useless

*2021-02-14, version 4.7*

If you can’t use a parking app to pay for parking, extend parking time if required, and be refunded for unused time it’s pointless. All the other features become a joke!!!

### 1/5 — You can’t pay

*2020-10-10, version 4.7*

Pointless app as you can’t pay through the app .

### 1/5 — Cant book a bay via app

*2018-01-18, version 4.4*

Was mislead by the adv and thought it has the pay online function like wilson parking book a bay. Come on CPP you can do better!

### 1/5 — Who knows it doesn't work

*2015-02-07, version 3.0*

Downloaded the app this evening, kept crashing, wouldn't run at all, at least it was free, deleted now though.

### 5/5 — Improved

*2023-05-16, version 4.7*

Has live updates. And area of free parking.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-09-01, version 2.51*

Great app, simple and very handy

### 5/5 — Phew.

*2014-08-23, version 2.51*

Thank god I can fianlly find a damn carpark!

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2012-05-21, version 2.2*

Yep this is a well thought out app with great features. The availability of parking is the best thing about this to be honest. Makes life so easy when driving in to Perth.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2012-01-20*

Good app. Could be improved with height restriction information as many 4x4 don't fit in all the car parks

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2012-01-19, version 2.0*

I used to dread driving into the city, but not any more :-)

### 5/5 — Genius!! So helpful!

*2012-01-19, version 2.0*

No more stressful city driving for me!! This app is awesome & helped me so much!

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2012-01-16, version 2.0*

XD this helps a lot

### 5/5 — CPP FTW

*2012-01-16, version 2.0*

It is a great App, I have used it already today. It is good to see local government using their data to inform commuters and city visitors this way. Really well done on the interface and amount of information provided on each car park.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2012-04-24, version 2.2*

Can we pay to extend our ticket? It will be convenient if we can purchase a ticket and extend them online without going back to the parking
