User reviews

Impressed with what I've seen so far

Just paid a PCN notice for overstay in supermarket car park. I could not remember when I parked and guessed the wrong time. The ANPR cameras got clear pictures. So searching for an app to automatically record my parking time - most importantly- and secondary record the place (useful in other occasions parking at motor events in big fields).

This looked to tick the boxes ! And having just paid the fine 99p seemed reasonable to take a gamble it would work. First impression is good and the support provided on their website was very clear as to how it works and it's use.

It even knew where and when I last parked my car - must be reading some health tracking data my iphone logs.

Will update review after more use. However looking fun and very useful.

Update: yes if app running in background it adds a parking pin automatically when your gps speed drops from driving to walking speed. Similar to apple seeing when you disconnect from a car's audio Bluetooth. Except this works for other cars, taxi, buses etc to get back to taxi rank or bus stop.

Battery drain

And Doesn’t work.

Great app for forgetful parkers

Excellent support team
I could not get it to work with my iphone 6S
This is because it uses a different chip with the motion sensors. I taised the issue with the team.
The team have worked hard and rewritten part of the programme just for me.
It is a great app for exploring unfamiliar cities andjust finding your way back in a large car park.

Happy Camper Now!

Just heard back from the developer. Apparently the issue that kept me from accessing the Motion Tracker on my iPhone 6 has now been fixed! Can’t wait to use this app. Thank you!!

Brilliant App

Embarrassingly the number of times have I forgotten where I’ve parked :( this app walks you back to you car with precise instructions. Set the timer and avoid going over the limit avoiding fines etc !!.. highly recommended. Excellent support.

FAQ

What does Parking Pin do?

Parking Pin automatically remembers where you parked your car using your iPhone's GPS and motion coprocessors. It then provides walking directions, distance, and a compass to help you find your way back to your vehicle. It also includes a parking meter timer with expiration notifications.

How does the automatic parking tracking work?

The app utilizes the newest iPhones' Motion Coprocessors and Location Services to pinpoint your parking spot in the background, even when your iPhone is asleep or you're using other apps. Your current and most recent spots are saved automatically.

What if I don't have an iPhone with motion capabilities?

If your iPhone doesn't have motion capabilities, you can still use the app by enabling Location Services. You can then manually drop a Pin at your parking spot with a single tap or easily reposition an existing Pin for greater accuracy.

Does the app work without Wi-Fi or cell service?

Yes, the app is designed to work even without Wi-Fi or cell service, relying on your device's GPS capabilities to track your location and guide you back to your car.

Can I set parking meter reminders?

Yes, Parking Pin features a built-in meter that allows you to set your parking time. It automatically calculates the remaining time and expiration, and will notify you when your meter is about to expire or has expired.
