### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-08-12, version 2.7.4*

The most frustrating app I’ve ever used. Can’t book parking. Flight details missing. Surely in this day and age they could do better.

### 1/5 — Impossible to use app for parking

*2024-08-06, version 2.7.4*

This app is borderline useless. It is impossible to use to book parking, the screen glitches at the point of payment and you cannot tell if you have paid and booked or not. It has been like this for years and yet they still haven’t fixed it. Hello!! Is anyone listening?????

### 1/5 — Next to useless

*2024-06-03, version 2.7.4*

It couldn’t find flights - even when Flight Number entered. Impossible to book parking. Rubbish app.

### 1/5 — Candid camera

*2024-05-28, version 2.7.3*

The only way this App passes is if the developer’s main aim was to waste as much of your time as they could get away with. I get the feeling that they sit there and monitor how many times users try to get a tick to stick. Laughing their heads while users desperately keep ticking away only to see their tick disappear again and again. 😂

### 1/5 — Should be Embarrassed

*2024-05-05, version 2.7.3*

This ap is without doubt the worst.
Not user friendly, continually crashes.
I reached out once because of the uselessness and they said “oh we cant do anything because its looked after in the UK”. whether thats true or not i dont know, But what i do know is you cant help someone if they wont help themselves.

### 1/5 — So Bad!

*2024-05-02, version 2.7.3*

Unable to simply book parking on mobile. Such a poor experience for a simple activity

### 1/5 — Parking Calc is useless

*2024-05-01, version 2.7.3*

Had same problems as per other reviews but persisted.  However after eating my time,  was trying to pay via ApplePay and that was it.  No payment requested and said I would need to provide QR code rather than CC to enter/exit car park.  But no QR supplied.  Confusing!!!!

### 1/5 — Woeful experience

*2024-03-17, version 2.7.3*

Practically impossible to use to book parking. Check boxes that can’t be checked, payment screens that vanish and return to the previous screen.  I can’t understand how it’s possible to deliver such a poor experience in this digital age for something as simple as booking and paying for parking..

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-02-18, version 2.7.3*

Couldn’t sign in to app for ages, finally get in there and cannot make a booking as you can’t select the tick boxes, because they disappear as soon as you put them in there!!! Such a pain - fix your app!

### 1/5 — Needs a revamp

*2024-02-14, version 2.7.3*

For a regular traveller for work this app is disgraceful.  Jumps around, buttons don’t work.  For someone on the go it’s inconvenient to have to go on a computer to book parking.  Trying to give them money for parking and the app doesn’t respond and makes it impossible.  Terribly inconvenient when you are in a hurry.  Looking for alternative parking and maybe try again at a later date.  Lift your game Melbourne Airport.

### 1/5 — So bad

*2024-02-08, version 2.7.3*

Impossible to use the app to book parking.  Repeatedly jumps to the top of the screen as you enter data and it is really hard to scroll back down, as the page moves slightly sideways when you try.  It is obviously not reactive to the phone size being used.  The mandatory checkboxes do not let you check them and when I tried to create an account said my email was already in use, but I never receive a password reset email when requested.  When I tried to use Facebook to login, told me that the app was not registered with FB and got an error that you can’t get back from, had to hard close the app and start again, losing everything I had entered.  Gave up, booked online and deleted app.

### 1/5 — Fix the app or scrap it!!!

*2024-01-29, version 2.7.3*

This is the worst app for booking parking

### 1/5 — Crashes continuously

*2023-12-18, version 2.7.3*

This app is very poorly design.  It crashes, can’t login and the user interface doesn’t work at all on an iPhone.  It was just a guessing game to navigate through it!!

### 1/5 — Poor, and so is the Apple App Store

*2023-11-28, version 2.7.3*

Seriously, why ask people to leave a review for ahitty apps when the host is as bad as the app your review
Leave a good review, get posted straight away. Leave a bad review and you wait weeks before it’s posted
This app is worse than the Apple App Store, and that’s saying something!

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2023-11-13, version 2.7.3*

Broken

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support Chrome on iPhone

*2023-09-11, version 2.7.3*

Must open “app” in Safari. Are you friggin serious? How do I get the mandatory QR code on my phone - easily and intuitively? Just hopeless…

### 1/5 — Doesn’t function

*2023-09-01, version 2.7.3*

This app does not function properly when you are trying to book your airport parking. As other posters have said it jumps from screen to screen and you cannot complete your booking. Fail.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2023-08-21, version 2.7.3*

This is a very bad app at this point in its development. I attempted to book parking: it won’t scroll properly, continually jumping back to a previous point, and then when I finally managed to enter my details for payment, there was no way I could find to progress. It also flicked between the booking and payment pages without apparent stimulus. 
Given how dependent MelAir is on cars and how much they charge, it beggars belief they can’t do a better app at this stage in history.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pointless app, all it does is collect your data.

*2026-05-24, version 2.7.6*

Avoid this app. The app doesn't have a login like the web version, so you can't retrieve your prepaid carpark booking. What is the point of the app other than trying to sell you more useless things and collect your daily usage and activity to sell it to 3rd party data broker?

### 1/5 — Possibly the worst app ever

*2026-03-01, version 2.7.6*

Impossible to use. So buggy it's ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Awsome App to waste time

*2026-01-04, version 2.7.6*

Top Grade time wasting user hating parking booking interface. Maybe it’s intentional not to be able to book parking through app so people go and pay at gate prices and on paper they can claim we are the cheapest parking among major airports. I wish one day they will direct some money from constant price increases to have a functioning app for parking( hopefully before Melbourne airport rail or fourth runway expansion announcements). I know you don’t care as people have been complaining about this from last few years and nothing being done about it.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2025-10-27, version 2.7.6*

The app fails to work on the latest iOS.  Keeps jumping around and crashing.  It’s a wonder any parking bookings are purchased by anyone using this app.  The same bugs that the app had 4 months ago the ago when using the last iOS.

### 1/5 — Car park booking

*2025-07-30, version 2.7.6*

Impossible to book car parking.

### 1/5 — Poor Parking Function

*2025-07-06, version 2.7.6*

Please Mel Air can you put some of the $$ from the extortionate parking fees into your App as it crashes, is poorly set out, nearly impossible to try to book parking in one go. This, along with your prices, should be something to work on - quickly.

### 1/5 — Appalling app

*2025-06-28, version 2.7.6*

This does not work on iPhones or iPad

### 1/5 — So Bad!

*2025-03-19, version 2.7.6*

Unable to simply book parking on mobile. Such a poor experience for a simple activity

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-02-21, version 2.7.6*

Parking App on my iPhone 14 is very difficult to use. Picking the dates is just too difficult. Picks the first date ok then selecting the exit date is where it gets frustrating. The fact I’ve had the exact same issue as the previous bad reviews says a lot and not about my fat fingers.
Why make it so hard to take my money?????

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-12-17, version 2.7.6*

Simply do not bother with this app, someone was paid a lot of money for zero results.

### 5/5 — Fran

*2023-09-08, version 2.7.3*

Excellent for checking arrivals

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-01-12, version 2.6.2*

I’ve used this app for over 5 years. Always been spot on for pick ups and drop offs. Keep up the good work and update this great app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-04-30, version 1.0*

A nice and simple app to use when travelling via Melbourne airport.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!!

*2011-12-11, version 1.0*

Awesome app!!!

### 4/5 — Finally working again after a number of fix attempts

*2014-02-06, version 1.1.3*

I have flown to Tullamarine several times and used to find this a handy app. The push messages reminding you of gate changed is its best feature. Glad it is working again after several updates failed to rectify bugs.

### 3/5 — Poor quantity and quality

*2023-08-14, version 2.7.3*

Screen on cell phone can't be enlarged so the flight details can't be seen without using magnifying glass.  Flight info should include those upcoming 48 hours.

### 2/5 — SLOW TO UPDATE

*2025-12-28, version 2.7.6*

Struggled to access/find specific flights, received changes to departure after take-off!!! Not user friendly.

### 2/5 — NOT WORKING

*2022-07-21, version 2.7.2*

Last 24 hours not working giving error message no connectivity with server

### 2/5 — Need to fix screen

*2019-11-15, version 2.6.2*

Trying to purchase car park and the page either freezes or moves to the right side so you can’t scroll down to pick your car park preference.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2012-05-18, version 1.0*

Disappointing as flight didn't appear on arrivals. But it did on lap top.
