It’s actually easy to use. I also contacted customer support once and a real human got back promptly and resolved the issue. ### 1/5 — Extremely terrible app *2026-07-28* Terrible scam app. App is buggy, geolocation never works (works fine with other apps). ### 1/5 — Promoted to use for parking in Iceland *2026-07-04* This app simply does not work. We spent 5 days and it doesn’t function, suspect their backend servers are nonexistent. We skipped visiting a number of places in and around Reykjavik as well as the southern peninsula because we were not able to pay using this app. Hopefully the Icelandic government can get it sorted as it seems to be the only way to avoid parking fines. Do Not Download. ### 1/5 — Fee/Subscription Model is Terrible *2026-07-03* 89ISK per trasanaction or to get you in a subscription so you hopefully forget about it is a terrible system. It also owns none of the parking areas it manages of course. Garbage. ### 1/5 — Travelers Beware *2026-07-01* Beware of the monthly fee. It’s a prorated fee, it does not pay for a month of usage but rather the remainder of the month. This is both beneficial and malicious in that if you pay on the 29th you’ll be charged again on the 31st. Company refuses to issue refunds. ### 2/5 — It needs work! *2026-06-23* We have been using the Parka app while in Iceland and it extremely glichy! Even the Parka machines at Geysir were super glichy! They take a couple times to start working, then when you are ready to pay it just sits there, thinking about it. The app is even worse. I can’t tell you many times I had to restart the app to try to get it to work. Unfortunately, it’s the main parking app in Iceland. ### 1/5 — Unscrupulous and unnecessary *2026-06-03* Almost every tourist site parking lot has a pay kiosk, making the single-time fees much cheaper than signing up for a monthly subscription. Worse, the vendor is unscrupulous. I canceled my subscription at 1:00 AM on the first day of the month after my trip, and customer service refused a refund, insisting on charging me for the entire month. Save your money and just use the kiosks and pay single time fees if you need to use this app. ### 1/5 — Tried unsuccessfully to pay parking with this app *2026-05-25* I tried unsuccessfully to pay parking with this app, after selecting English as a language, entering license plate and email address. When prompted to enter the credit card’s information, all boxes were labeled only in Icelandic. ApplePay wasn’t enabled either. Ended up paying through the Parka website through Apple Pay. ### 1/5 — Scam. Avoid at all costs *2026-05-17* Very difficult to use. I selected a parking lot and a time, didn’t press pay or confirm on anything, and it still charged me over 2000 ISK from the card I had saved. Don’t waste your time with this scam. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-04, version 2.00.30* The app doesn’t work. You can’t add licence plates - you just get a http 401 error message. Don’t use it and get EasyPark if you can ## Frequently asked questions about Parka.is ### What does this app do?
