Opening the app music

Please get rid of the opening music. It stops any other music playing and doesn’t restart when the opening jingle has finished playing.

The jingle adds nothing to the app so please get rid of it.

Scam.

Very disappointing experience with Parkin. I topped up my wallet with AED 500, and after changing my registered phone number from my temporary tourist number to my new number, my remaining balance of AED 379.25 was not transferred, even though the app clearly stated that the balance would be transferred to the new number.

Because my wallet remained linked to the old number, I was also unable to pay for parking and kept receiving technical errors. After a long wait, Parkin finally corrected the phone number but completely wiped out my remaining balance.

I have contacted customer support multiple times. Instead of resolving the issue and returning my money, they keep sending generic responses about updating my phone number. Two weeks have passed, and I still have not received my AED 379.25 back.

Losing access to your own money because of a technical issue, followed by such poor customer support, is unacceptable. I expect Parkin to restore my missing balance or issue a full refund immediately.

I cannot recommend this service until Parkin takes responsibility for this issue and improves its customer support.

Very glitchy App

This app is not working properly. My registered vehicle was not showing, and I wasted 20 minutes trying to pay for parking. The app kept asking me to add my vehicle and was loading for a long time. If I receive a parking fine because of this technical issue, the responsibility should not be mine. Please fix this problem as soon as possible.

What happened

This app has got worse and worse with every up date. Simply paying for parking is so bad we have to do it on RTA website now. Before when it was through dubai Now app it was easy. After 2 frustrating years I’ve deleted it and use the RTA app instead. Apple please review this app as it doesn’t do what it is suppose to do.

Island Notification

The island notification at the top for some reason goes the whole way across my phone instead of staying small like all of the other apps - otherwise amazing.

App reflects the company

The app is as dysfunctional as the company. They show zero empathy, just want to make money

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.
