No Payment Confirmation, led Me AED 150 Fine

The monthly subscription process in this app is extremely frustrating and unreliable.

When I completed the payment, the app immediately returned to the payment page. The payment option disappeared, and I had to wait around 30 minutes without any confirmation. There was no message to tell me whether the payment was successful, failed, or still processing.

I tried multiple times, refreshed the app repeatedly, and kept checking my email, but there was no notification or update at all. The next morning, I received a parking fine of AED 150 because I couldn’t confirm whether my subscription had been activated.

An app that handles parking payments should provide instant payment confirmation and clear status updates. If there are technical issues, users should be informed immediately instead of being left guessing. This experience cost me both time and money.

Please fix the payment flow and notification system before more customers receive unnecessary fines due to app issues.

Worst app

They deduct your money but often fail to issue a parking ticket. When you call their customer service, they refuse to take responsibility, neither resolving the issue nor processing a refund. This has happened to me more than 4-5 times.

Top make matters worse, their customer service representatives are extremely rude, unhelpful and unwilling to understand the customer’s concerns. They simply insist that there is no issue on their end and tell you to contact your bank for a refund instead of taking any accountability.

This is one of the worst apps i have ever used, backed by some of the poorest customer service i have experienced. The complete lack of accountability, combined with rude and unprofessional representatives, makes the entire experience incredibly frustrating.

How is this a live app?

Possibly the worst app I have ever used. Unintuitive, non response, technical errors. Shocking that this has made it onto the live App Store.

Car details cannot be saved

The app does not save car plate detail forcing me to re-enter them EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This is such a simple yet necessary feature that is not fixed for at least half a year already. I don’t know that this company is doing all that time, but I’m not happy I have to pay for such terrible service.

The software that increased my fine

The status is out of sync; after being charged, there's no order, making it impossible to determine success. This happens frequently, and I've been repeatedly bothered by it, already incurring fines of several hundred dirhams.

Extreme bugs and Overcharging

Dear All,

If you’re using iPhone and apple do not use this app. I specifically request all to not use the subscription request through the app. I wanted a 1 month subscription they charged me 3 months money. When I raised complaint they asked for proof. I dint have. Next time kept taking screenshots at all steps the same bug again lost money. Raised complaint again. Happened in an interval of 3 months. No checking. Even the payment receipt says 1 month subscription, but charged for 3 months. Very sad such a big institution not understanding issues. Customer care said they never faced any issues before. SO PLEASE BE AWARE.

Notifications & Payment issues

I never get notified when my parking is expiring or expired.. I’ve checked setting for this issue.. and sometimes I make a payment and it doesn’t go through but it’s taken the money.. then I get a fine because I don’t know it’s not gone through

Delay in parking

Many times I’m not able to put parking because the app is not proceeding the payment properly. The app crashes or fails without even rendering the payment options

Overpriced

Parking is so overpriced here in dubai
Country should really reduce the fees to have your car stationary on this country’s roads

Owning a. Car is become a curse more than a blessing

Worst part is even if you pay for a parking for many hours and when the deadline expires and you were even late by two minutes, you get fined by the silly cars that drive past you with the cameras
Frustrating system honestly, they have a lot to learn from foreign western countries

It’s almost impossible to speak to an agent on the phone or the app. I tried to submit a permit for my brother who is a POD temporarily that also got rejected

like nothing about this app is worth appreciating all their services don’t work properly except when it comes to taking your money, that part works just fine.
