## What is Park Adelaide?

The Park Adelaide app helps you find parking in the City of Adelaide 

The Park Adelaide app helps you find available on-street parking near your destination. Using real-time data and sensors, the app will direct you to the most convenient parking around the city.

Once you’ve found your park, the app lets you pay directly on your smart device. There’s no need to make payment at the Ticket Machine!
To find available parking, open the app to reveal the city map. The coloured markers (red, green, and amber) indicate the number of parks which are available.
 
Tapping a map marker will give you more information about the parking controls in that area. This includes hours of operation, time limits, parking fees, and other restrictions. By typing in your destination, the app can display and guide you to available parking options nearby.

To pay for parking via the app, you will need to create an account and log in. As an account holder, you’ll be able to remotely ‘top up’ your parking to the time limit, without having to return to your vehicle. You will also have the option to extend your parking for 15 minutes over the limit with a special Extend Stay purchase.  You will be notified when your parking is about to expire which will help you know when you need to return to your vehicle.
Download the Park Adelaide app today and take the worry out of parking in the city.

### 1/5 — Worst App in History

*2024-09-19, version 5.0.3*

For 36 minutes i tried to extend my parking. It finally went through with 3 mins left. Gave me a receipt from the day befores parking time and then froze and didnt renew had to go down to actual meter. Useless

### 1/5 — Stuck at login screen

*2024-07-13, version 5.0.3*

Couldn’t log in to the app. Practically useless 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Awful apps

*2024-06-25, version 5.0.3*

When you swipe or zoom in too fast it takes you straight back to the sign-in page as it signs you out & found half the time what they say is available is not so causes you to run late doing laps around town because all the U-parks are full.

Our city is an absolute joke for parking!!!

### 1/5 — Utterly useless

*2024-06-04, version 5.0.1*

Payment interface does not work. Impossible to identify available parking spaces. A hostile and unstable user experience. With the roll out of the new digital parking system, I’d have thought getting this app functional would be a priority for Adelaide City Council.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2024-06-04, version 5.0.1*

Who invented this app? The toilet store?

Has the user interface qualities of a malnutritioned sheep.

### 1/5 — Cannot add payment info

*2024-04-17, version 5.0.1*

This used to be a good app which I used frequently. It seems from a few months ago things have changed. I can no longer add in my payment information, which means I can no longer use the app. There’s no one to report this too. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Nothing Functional

*2024-03-12, version 5.0.1*

I simply cannot register the payment method to use the app. What was done to make it easier, hinders me, as I have to move and renew the payment every period of time.
Awful 😕

### 1/5 — Do better

*2024-02-15, version 4.8.5*

How can this app be so clunky and useless. Maybe it’s enough to get out of a ticket

### 1/5 — App written by 2 year olds

*2023-12-27, version 4.8.5*

Says it all. Useless…

### 3/5 — Good idea.  But filtering doesn’t work..

*2023-12-18, version 4.8.5*

The filtering in the app doesn’t work.
(If you unfilter loading zones, disabled and paid parking (and only tick outdoors &/or timed parking), all it shows you are loading zones, disabled and paid parking…)
