How is this even legal?

The car park I visited only allowed payments through this app, which coincidentally only allows you to book parking slots in advance, not pay retroactively for the time you’ve already been there. Received a nice PCN after paying for the time I thought I’d been there but guessed slightly wrong, which I now have to appeal.

Barely functional app

Easily the worst experience I’ve ever had using a carpark app to pay for parking. And goodness knows there’s some stiff competition for that title.

Doesn’t work. Tried loads of times.

Awful app. Doesn’t work. Had to park somewhere else.

A blind chimp made this app

Honestly the worst parking app design you could imagine. Took me longer to sort out parking than I needed to park. Zero app support as well. Park it in the bin

So bad I ended up parking elsewhere

They require storing your bank details, storing a ridiculous amount of data about the car and individual. And because the UI is so appalling making even the most rudimentary of stupid mistakes, I have no confidence that my details would’ve stored securely. So I left and parked elsewhere

Worst App I’ve ever used

One star is too many, this app is absolutely awful. Sadly I had no choice as it was the only parking available and this was the app they used.

Dangerous Info Security

So when you sign up they ask you to create a user name and password, then they email your password to you .. what compounds this issue is the fact that they don’t accept Apple Pay and collect and display your credit card details on the app . Maybe one for the ICO

Useless

Have to register EVERY TIME!!! I mean come on get your act together!!

Rubbish

When I tried to add my card the app didn’t let me write number 6 )))

Parkonomy

Absolutely useless app, spent 15minutes trying to get signed in. Give up with it

Absolutely wank

This app is so ridiculous!! Never works, won’t accept my mobile, won’t accept my reg and won’t even let me pay!! Won’t use car park now, rather park further and use ringp as app never fails

Pish

I can only assume that the coding for this app was written by a single-celled organism wired to a desktop. It’s so bad, it’s like they don’t want you to pay, every payment gets declined.

Zero Stars - rubbish

If I was able to give zero stars I would. If I paid somebody a pound to build and maintain this app I would feel that I’ve overpaid by about a pound. Just booked my Parking. I received the invoice, 10p SMS charge for a reminder & 10p for confirmation of the parking ticket that I just bought.
So I went into the app all the options were grayed out and it was at that point that grayed out means you’ve opted in and in fact you have to make it go red. So just to be clear why use the red and green? I know it’s hardly used in the UK except for traffic lights and other types of notifications but let’s go with it. Gray means you’ve opted in red means you’re out.

Genuinely Awful

Yet another car parking app demanding my personal details before I can pay to park my car. I make that the 8th one this year. To put the cherry on top it wouldn’t accept payment and kept returning an error message. Seems a recurring theme judging by the other reviews. Whoever commissioned this app would be better off paying for AI to redesign and rebuild a functional app that actually works.

Literal Trash

Your card will decline 5 times before it’s finally accepted - it’s literally a game of luck trying to get this app to work. Apple Pay isn’t supported to have to manually enter card details (it’s 2025 we stopped entering card details many years ago!) - this app is literal trash and is frustrating to say the least. Not only is the user interface ugly, nine times out of ten it simply doesn’t work. Unfortunately there is one car park in Leeds who made the foolish decision to work with Parkonomy so I have to keep this trash installed on my phone. Take some Inspo from RingGo and PayByPhone - their apps work perfectly!

Never remembers login details

Absolutely terrible UI and every single time it won’t recognise login details. I have to reset my password, it takes to safari and I’m logged in, but if I try login on the app with the same details, they don’t work. I now actively avoid parkonomy car parks because of this

Park somewhere else

Terrible app doesn’t accept any card details reviews going back years same issue.

Couldn’t even pay for my parking

What’s the point of this app

Unusable App

Uploading a card for payment does not work. No confirmation of profile created, no confirmation of payment method created. Please re-design the App so it can be functional.
Waisted 15min of my life downloading an App that does not work… truly terrible.

Worst parking app possible

Poorly designed, glitchy - I can’t believe a council has accept this as their provider for payments - it’s designed and built by school children
