Watch for fees
App works well enough for parking, but the fees are high. If you subscribe, make sure you cancel before the 1st of any month that you don’t want service. They are completely unwilling to refund that fee, even within hours of charging it and you clearly have not used the service
Monthly subscription charges in calendar month
You will be charged for full calendar month no matter when you cancel your subscription.
THE way to park in Iceland!
Easy to setup as a visitor using a rental car! It tells you where you are, has easy to use timers, and we never paid more than we had to! Worked great with foreign credit cards and knew where we were and showed all parking zones! I would recommend this app to anyone visiting the country!
App doesn’t accept Apple Pay
But their website does. Just use the website.
Excellent Parking App
Great app, one star rating is unjustified
Boooooo
Make sure you add pay by tag/license plate when traveling and having to use this app. I tried paying multiple times and being in remote areas without service made it so I couldn’t pay and have been paying 4 to 5 times the amount to the rental agency for parking because of it. Parking companies are typically bottom dwellers and this one surely isn’t any different.

One of the worry parking app
One of the worst parking app ever made, payment doesnt work, location doesnt work, it doesnt work
Current version deserved better rating
I was very hesitant to download due to the 1 star rating, but it turned out it’s needed everywhere in Iceland. It’s actually easy to use. I also contacted customer support once and a real human got back promptly and resolved the issue.
Extremely terrible app
Terrible scam app. App is buggy, geolocation never works (works fine with other apps).
Does not work
Application does not work. It is not possible to add payment method.
Promoted to use for parking in Iceland
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.

Fee/Subscription Model is Terrible
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.

Travelers Beware
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.
Parka.Is
It doesn’t work.
I filled in the relevant information & payment method.
If I open the Parka app, the logo appears in the middle of my phone screen & then nothing, it’s frozen. Deleted app and reinstalled- the same.

Tricks you into fines
The app checked me out by itself when I left my car overnight and I got a find the next day.
It needs work!
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.

Unscrupulous and unnecessary
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.

Tried unsuccessfully to pay parking with this app
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.

Scam. Avoid at all costs
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.
Doesn’t work
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
