I will be asking for a refund on this purchase. I'm sure it woks better back home in the states, but extremely unreliable overseas. ### 3/5 — Doesn't always work *2015-06-17, version 1.3.4* Live this when it works. In fact it's incredible when it does. But 30% of the time it shows a place I parked a couple days ago. It plain old stops working. Really annoying to not be dependable. ### 2/5 — An okay app. *2015-05-28, version 1.3.4* Has lots of potential, but constantly pins locations I parked at DAYS ago. Kind of defeats the purpose if I open the app and the app doesn't do what I expected from it. ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2015-03-13, version 1.3.4* Once you get used to how it works, it becomes an amazing app! Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Never lose your car again *2015-02-03, version 1.3.4* Beautifully designed and easy to use, this app will make sure you always remember where you left your dang automobile! ### 2/5 — Great potential *2015-02-02, version 1.3.4* This app would be perfect IF it worked all the time! BUT it doesn't. :( It's the kind of app that you require it to work every time and it seems to only work maybe 50% of the time and you can guarantee that it's the 50% of the time that it doesn't work that I need it! I therefore can't recormmend it. If they fixed the fact it misses most of the times I park then I would give it 5 stars! ### 3/5 — Glitchy, needs to be improved *2014-12-08, version 1.3.3* This app is a great idea. I was parking at a big mall with multiple parking garages and different levels within those garages, and I knew I would lose my car. As for setting a pin and getting back to it, it worked- not well- but it worked. I'll keep the app, but I would like to see improvements going forward. ### 5/5 — Worth Writing a Review *2014-11-26, version 1.3.3* I don't normally write reviews for apps, however parking pin is a must have for anyone that goes to Theme Parks frequently or travels for Business. If you have an iPhone 5s, 6 or 6 Plus, this is a must have for your road-warrior toolkit! ### 5/5 — Best In It's Category. *2014-11-05, version 1.3.2* Very well designed, and well thought out features. ### 4/5 — Better than free alternatives *2014-09-08, version 1.2.0* I tried all the free parking apps I could find in the App Store and this one is much more polished. Purchase not regretted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Battery drain *2021-08-19, version 1.4.1* And Doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not tracking my parking *2015-11-15, version 1.4.0* It works only one of each ten times i parked... With iPhone 6 ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-11-02, version 1.4.0* Usekess ### 1/5 — Junk *2015-08-26, version 1.4.0* It doesn't work even with motion services on. And it drains your battery constantly. Useless. ### 1/5 — Battery Sucker *2014-11-09, version 1.3.2* Massive battery drain ### 1/5 — Useless and bad design *2014-10-30, version 1.3.1* Basic functionality... Set a pin and be able to go back to it. Not happening here! You set a pin and then if you move it asks if you have already parked? Answer yes to that and your pin gets lost! Also, multiple pins?!!! Who cares! Just show me where I last parked! No automatic zoom to help you find your way. Start with a "world view" every time?!!! ### 1/5 — error in iphone 6 plus *2014-10-08, version 1.3.1* can't run on iphone 6 plus even after update. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work in parking garages *2014-09-10, version 1.2.0* This app is the exact same as placing a pin on imaps. It is nothing else. Hence, It doesn't work in parking garages where you actually need it. ### 2/5 — No customer support. *2018-01-09, version 1.4.0* When I pay for an application I expect a customer support. With this app you get zero support. I had a specific question, emailed 3 times. Wasted of my time. ### 2/5 — Poor App *2015-12-03, version 1.4.0* For me it’s a poor app. Say I go to Costco. I set a pin at the car. When I leave the store and am faced with the huge parking lot, Parking Pin points me in the general direction. When I get within 50 yards of the car it is still pointing way off. When I get to the car, it is still showing the wrong direction and that I’m 40 ft from the car. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.. but.. I think it’s pretty poor. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Impressed with what I've seen so far *2024-07-03, version 1.4.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Great app for forgetful parkers *2019-08-16, version 1.4.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Happy Camper Now! *2019-05-24, version 1.4.1* 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!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2018-06-08, version 1.4.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Handy! *2017-04-16, version 1.4.0* Worth every penny. It's cool to see the list of places I've already parked start to grow. The meter has already saved me from going over my time limit a few times! In all a great app. ### 5/5 — Best parking app with beautiful interface *2015-10-26, version 1.4.0* I've tried a lot of parking apps but I've settled on this for its highly functional and beautiful interface that makes using it a joy. Top notch customer support too. Courteous and prompt reply that answered my question. Also well received my suggestion to support setting to use Google maps instead of Apple maps. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2015-08-27, version 1.4.0* I tried several car locator apps. Parking pin is by far more accurate and consistent than the others. I love it. ### 5/5 — Best Parking App! *2015-08-02, version 1.4.0* Tried other ones and this one takes the cake. It's so simple and clean looking. Just what I've been searching for. Seriously love it! I've been using it for a while now and still recommend it to my family members and friends all the time. ### 5/5 — What more could ask? *2015-05-31, version 1.3.4* Uses hot/cold as opposed to a mapped trail to guide you, which is more useful in a large parking lot than on a street. Setting a pin is automatic when the car comes to a stop. I launched it when I was home and it successfully pinned each of three stops I made running errand so I could navigate to my parked car each time, without having to set each pin manually. Only glitch I have found so far is that Help text shows up faintly on the high-resolution screen of the 6+. BTW, don't expect millimeter accuracy from any GPS. I read somewhere that GPS accuracy is plus or minus 30 feet. Unless you are navigating to a transponder, the estimated distance to you car may be off some, but you will be able to see you car. ### 5/5 — Brilliantly automagical *2015-04-27, version 1.3.4* It really works as advertised and spookily accurate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
