### 5/5 — Endlich top Update

*2026-07-25*

Nach dem letzten Update funktioniert die App endlich so, wie sie sollte. Das aktive Parkticket wird jetzt auch im Sperrbildschirm des Handys angezeigt – genau diese Funktion hat bisher gefehlt. Ansonsten bietet die App alles, was man zum Parken braucht, und die Bedienung ist unkompliziert. Deshalb gibt es von mir jetzt verdiente 5 Sterne.

**Developer response:** Hallo Mato J.,
wenn alles nach Plan läuft, dann wirst Du deine Bewertung gegen Ende diesen Jahres bzw. Anfang nächsten Jahres aktualisieren müssen ;) (Live Activity und erweiterte Erinnerungsfunktionen)

Die Widget-Funktion gibt es bereits.

Dein HandyParken München Team

### 1/5 — Impossible de créer un compte

*2026-06-23, version 105.4*

J’essaye de créer mon compte et ça ne fonctionne pas. Je ne reçois jamais le mail de confirmation. J’ai vérifié partout sur mon serveur. Rien reçu.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-01-16*

For half a year app is not opening on latest IOS

### 1/5 — Völlige Schotter-App

*2025-09-15*

Da steht man dann vor dem Parkautomaten der nur Geldmünzen und diese HandyApp akzeptiert Selbst in Zimbabwe kann man inzwischen mit der Kreditkarte den Parkplatz bezahlen. Nicht in München ! Hier ist man modern und muss sich die App runterladen. Kleiner Hick bei der Sache: damit das dann funktioniert muss man sich noch eine MyMunich (oder irgendsowas) App runterladen. Sonst geht’s nicht. Also steigt man dann in einen langen Prozess ein wo man e-mail Adressen angeben muss, Bestätigungs Mails abwarten, etc … um zu PARKEN ???! Ihr habt den totalen vollschuss…
Schön zu sehen was man da mit unseren Steuegeldern macht. Und man muss sich mal vorstellen wenn jedes Kaff mit seiner eigene ParkApp aufrücken würde.

Viel Spaß beim Parkhaus Suchen.

### 1/5 — Tourist

*2025-08-12, version 93.3*

No translation available on the app

### 1/5 — Seulement disponible en Allemand

*2025-08-01*

Difficile de se garer à Munich quand on ne parle pas l’allemand.
C’est fou cette limitation pour une ville aussi importante que Munich.

**Developer response:** Hello Cyrille,  

thank you for your feedback. We understand how important it is to have language options in an international city like Munich. Expanding the app's language support is something we are considering for future updates.  

Best regards,  
HandyParken München Team

### 1/5 — Only supports one language

*2025-07-30, version 93.3*

Please add English as its more known among people, i had a hard time understanding and using this app. 👎🏻

### 1/5 — bad experience

*2025-07-24, version 91.0*

can't swich the language, overcomplicated registration and no apple pay... i recommend carrying coins instead of using this

### 2/5 — No English version

*2025-07-19, version 91.0*

App works well, but it's unfortunately not made for abroad city visitors which is shame

### 1/5 — Bad only in German

*2025-06-02, version 86.0*

You need to put the app in English and other languages
Also you need to do more use friendly
