### 3/5 — Triple Check For Your Payment

*2026-06-15, version 9.6.6*

Today it is the second time make me a missed purchase of parking pass. Followed the steps by The app and I thought I have paid successfully. But it was not. The completion of the purchase is very unclear.

### 3/5 — Widget

*2026-05-23, version 9.6.6*

Add a widget that displays time remaining for parking session.

### 2/5 — Cannot verify number

*2026-05-08, version 9.6.6*

Can’t get past first step to verify phone number. Keep getting an error with several different phone numbers.

### 3/5 — Too Many Confirmation Stages

*2026-04-27, version 9.6.6*

You have to confirm at least 4 to 5 times for this to actually go through… Which causes a big problem when you feel like you’ve done the confirmation and arrive to your car and there’s a ticket there… Only to find out that there was another two confirmation stages.

### 2/5 — As bad as ever

*2026-04-25, version 9.6.6*

It’s impossible to emphasize enough how bad this app is. It routinely freezes when you’re trying to set up a parking session, requiring you to to start all over again, thus adding another five minutes or so to the entire process. For something that’s supposed to make parking more convenient this is a tragic fail.

### 2/5 — Continually getting worse

*2026-04-14, version 9.6.6*

Occasionally takes two mins to load.  Then shows error has occurred. No one has time for this during commute

### 1/5 — You owe me 50$

*2026-04-06, version 9.6.6*

This dumb app was stuck in a loop. I would pay and confirm and it just cycled back to the pay confirmation. I didn’t realize this until I got back to my ticketed car and saw what this stupid was doing.

### 2/5 — Needs Offline Support for QR Code

*2026-04-02, version 9.6.6*

Overall this app is decent, but it has a critical flaw—if you open the app to scan at a gated lot, it requires signal/internet to see your QR code. This is bad when underground. The app should remember the QR code and offer to show that.

Second, the confirmation screen should be worked on to make it more clear that you’re not done purchasing yet.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load on mobile networks

*2026-01-23, version 9.6.6*

Needs WiFi, suddenly stopped loading on multiple SIM cards. Data enabled etc.

### 1/5 — Stupid $20 auto load feature

*2026-01-16, version 9.6.6*

I hate how you can’t just pay for the time you park. You’re forced to pay a minimum $20 balance on the app. The stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of.

### 1/5 — First load failed

*2026-01-10, version 9.6.6*

On iOS. Can’t load country list, which means can’t proceed

### 1/5 — bad design

*2026-01-08, version 9.6.6*

i don’t think it would have been possible to make a parking app need more “ok” “next” “whatever” confirmations. It is absolutely annoying.
the parking number should be clear based on location. your intention to park should be clear since you are using the app.
so one confirmation if you want to park your car (plates number … should be by default) should be enough.
but hey … when you spend public money to pay incompetent companies based on personal relations it political obligations, this is what you get !

### 3/5 — Dark mode

*2026-01-08, version 9.6.6*

It’s 2026, yay! What about implementing a dark mode so we save our eyes for the road?

### 1/5 — Saved session doesn’t work

*2025-12-27, version 9.6.6*

Saved session increases the parking time by 5 minutes and charges more each time.

### 1/5 — Can’t update payment method

*2025-12-22, version 9.6.6*

Why is this app so garbage, I can’t ever add a new payment method without it returning some stupid network error. Fix this hot pile of trash.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-12-20, version 9.6.6*

Have tried several times to enter my credit card number but it just says network issue. No issue with any other app or other services

### 1/5 — Hate it but it’s mandatory

*2025-11-29, version 9.6.4*

This app forces user to update their account every once in a while. It’s never announced up front, so it can do it from unhurried surroundings of user’s home. It always happens when I’m trying to park and get on with the errands. In all circumstances, my credit information needs to be updated which means it is a protracted process.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fixed bottoms, no change could make

*2026-07-17, version 9.6.6*

The bottoms were fixed, could not change the timing. Also full rate was 8$ but it charged 20$.

### 1/5 — Pre-loading scam

*2026-06-27, version 9.6.6*

Forced loading onto wallet is a total scam

### 1/5 — Overchanging

*2026-06-27, version 9.6.6*

The app is unreliable. It doesn’t clearly confirm successful payments, making it easy to get charged multiple times. Customer service is also unreachable, no one answers the phone.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2026-06-13, version 9.6.6*

Multiple times this app has glitched out not taking my payment and I’ve received a +$70 ticket. At the very least notify me that the transaction didn’t go through.

### 1/5 — Current version doesn’t work

*2026-05-28, version 9.6.6*

Updated and now the app doesn’t even open. Just stuck on the logo.

### 1/5 — Crooks

*2026-05-23, version 9.6.6*

I used this app 3 years ago and topped it off with 40$ used 14$ of the 40$ I had on it and left it, so when I need to pay for parking again I don’t need to top off then to now use the app, and the balance is gone, so they basically stole my money and updated the app where I can’t see my history and my balance I had absolutely robbery

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2026-05-17, version 9.6.6*

The app is terrible it keeps on saying the location ID is incorrect but it’s literally correct! Wouldn’t let us pay until we changed the hour. Also randomly takes 20 dollars off your account

### 1/5 — New interface is a downgrade

*2026-04-22, version 9.6.6*

New interface requires scrolling through to select licence plate. Old interface show all plates at once. New design is slower and laggy. The old faster and a more fluid user experience from opening the app to final confirmation of payment.

### 1/5 — Forced minimum $20 preload

*2026-04-15, version 9.6.6*

This is one of the few apps that requires a $20 minimum payment as a preload even if it’s a few dollars for parking. Let us choose how much to preload or charge us the exact amount.

### 1/5 — Hate preloading

*2026-04-13, version 9.6.6*

Just let me pay for the session at the exact amount it costs.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — very reliable

*2025-12-20, version 9.6.6*

I’m actually shocked how well this app has performed, literally flawlessly, for several years in Toronto now

### 5/5 — Best app on my phone

*2025-12-17, version 9.6.6*

This is a game changer and so easy to use.  Probably the best app on my phone.  The only downside is their last step to confirm payment. It’s easy to miss it and then get dinged.  If they could automate that last step, it would be great.

### 5/5 — Apple Wallet

*2025-12-17, version 9.6.6*

Thanks for adding Apple wallet support!

### 5/5 — Need to be able to scan QR

*2025-05-20, version 9.5.1*

In some new parking meters there is no parking area number. We can pay in the machine with a tap, but then we loose the ability to extend our time if needed. Also, those parking meters have a QR, but there is no way to scan these QRs with the app.

### 5/5 — Option to setup a timer/reminder

*2024-11-30, version 9.4.3*

The app works great. One thing that would benefit a lot is some sort of alarm tech option that reminds you of the session ending. An option where one can choose if they want to enable reminder or not and how close to the session they want a reminder.

### 5/5 — So Easy! Convenient Reminders!

*2024-11-08, version 9.4.3*

I am so happy that I installed the GreenP parking app!
So! Happy! I visit Toronto seldom, and am impressed with how helpful this app is. Took me about ten minutes to figure it out yesterday (I’m not a young person), and I appreciated it immediately. It just pinged me now to ask if I wanted to renew a payment for a spot. Which I had forgotten to do. Saved! And receipts to prove it. Thank you very, very much. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Very quick setup

*2021-12-18*

Easy to use. Seems thoughtfully designed.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2021-10-29, version 2.2.3*

Just a really easy to use app. No silly features slowing down or making the parking process more difficult. Nice work to the UX designer/s!

### 5/5 — Life gets easier at Toronto with Green P

*2021-09-30*

Excellent, easy to use, thousands of locations at Toronto, cheaper and safe. Love it! Thanks

### 5/5 — Just visiting the city and this helps!

*2019-10-20*

So easy to sign up and use.  Made parking stress free the whole time.
