### 2/5 — International credit card

*2026-08-23, version 7.1.6*

Won’t accept international credit card. Useless.

### 2/5 — Cannot extend parking

*2026-08-22, version 7.1.6*

The main reason to install an app for parking is that you can extend remotely and this doesn’t allow that so basically useless

### 5/5 — Easy to use for foreigners

*2026-08-14, version 7.1.6*

Easy to use for foreigners

### 5/5 — Very easy to use

Great app very easy to use and great live information

### 1/5 — Awful awful awful

*2026-08-12, version 7.1.6*

So kompliziert, kein Apple Pay und dann noch extra verlangen ….. nur lächerlich

### 5/5 — Parking wonderwall

### 2/5 — Did not end automatically

*2026-08-04, version 7.1.6*

Parking did not end automatically and no mobile coverage so couldn’t end manually

### 5/5 — Great spot

*2026-07-19, version 7.1.6*

Easy place and good system

### 1/5 — Horrible system

*2026-06-24, version 7.1.5*

I am new to this system this system and because I missed the warning text that I was running out of time, received a huge fine of the order of 20 times the original parking fee
If I had not paid for hours of parking before hand and was avoiding paying parking, I would deserve the big fine but being only a few minutes over did not deserve a fine of this disproportionate scale!!!!!

### 5/5 — Most user friendly parking app

*2026-06-18, version 7.1.5*
