### 5/5 — Parking made easy

*2026-03-31, version 4.13.6*

Straightforward to use, no need to worry about coins or machines. Used MiPermit for several for years and would recommend.

### 1/5 — What?

*2026-03-26, version 4.13.6*

I’ve never known a n app with so many paradoxes. Asks you to register and won’t allow a password, if you ask for a reset sends a message telling me I’ve asked for a reset. Well, I knew that already. You’re just locked into a spiral of repetitive and pointless activity.

### 2/5 — 2 day blocks

*2026-03-25, version 4.13.6*

App is good but can only book 2 day blocks

### 3/5 — Limited functionality

*2026-03-24, version 4.13.6*

The MiPermit app is fine for activating permits for visitors, but it’s not possible to pay for new books of permits which is frustrating.

### 3/5 — Apple Pay missing

*2026-03-19, version 4.13.6*

Why not have Apple Pay and paypal??

### 1/5 — Gets stuck

*2026-03-14, version 4.13.6*

Unable to proceed beyond the Yes/no for +£0.10 on the select time screen. No way to proceed regardless of which button you click. Ended up paying outside the app. Annoying waste of time. It only has to do one thing and it doesn’t do it.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2026-03-11, version 4.13.6*

Try to change car on it twice and end up paying three times. !

### 2/5 — The app works - poor UI design

*2026-03-10, version 4.13.6*

The app works. Never have an issue with that. However, and I am fully aware that the UI has been designed in this way, that when you scroll down to pay, you end up scrolling to pay for maximum amount of parking.

If you were in a rush, not diligent, or maybe struggle with technology, this could very easily catch you out. So be aware! And UI designer - naughty naughty.

### 2/5 — Awful app to use!

*2026-03-03, version 4.13.5*

This app is difficult to use and navigate, buying extra permits doesn’t work properly, there has to be an easier way to get ID to stay on the site, and you are never sure if you have actually brought parking vouchers because there is a long delay between paying and receiving the vouchers!
It’s seems that it’s easier to get a subscription to a 18+ gambling or porn website than it is to get parking permits to park outside your own home!
It’s a joke!

### 1/5 — Passive aggressive customer service

*2026-03-01, version 4.13.5*

Not at all intuitive to use. Long delay to process transactions without notice that that will be the case. If you fail to upload the right documentation to prove that you live where you say you do, thy just delete the whole transaction. Passive aggressive woman in the phone. No response to email correspondence.
