Very convenient app. ### 1/5 — New update is catastrophic *2026-05-23, version 1.4.4* A recent update forces you to input your pin every single time you use the app, and the app is very very slow. It takes forever to adjust your parking. This app should not force me to input my pin every single session!! that or get Face ID like any normal app. Brutal that we are forced to use this and have no alternative. ### 3/5 — Easy to use, concerned about credit card info security *2026-05-20, version 1.4.4* The apps is quick and easy to use once set up on the phone. I am a little concerned about the lack of details asked about the credit card. It is not asking for expiry date, CCS code or any other info to validate that the person who inputs the info is the owner of the card. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-27, version 1.4.4* Makes Victoria parking pay so simple ### 1/5 — “No internet connection” for a week now *2026-04-11, version 1.4.4* All week the app just presents an error page telling me I have no internet connection. Nothing changed, persists across reboots, so it seems like an outage that nobody is fixing. Is this app dead? ### 5/5 — Old folks *2026-03-21, version 1.4.4* Mohammed was a quiet respectful help to get on on the app! Thanks again Mohammed! ### 1/5 — What a joke *2026-03-20, version 1.4.4* Park it in Victoria is already ridiculous and pathetic this joke of an app makes it worse especially when it says that you have to put a pin in when you never put a pin on your account originally and then won't let you sign ### 5/5 — All that a parking app needs *2026-03-13, version 1.4.4* This is very useful app, and with having an account and credit, you can avoid service fees. It works consistently, allows you to end parking early and get a refund on unused parking time, which is really good! I wish all the city’s parking could just use this app ### 2/5 — A bit buggy *2026-03-12, version 1.4.4* Changing accounts, logging in, registering is all rather confusing. I had to delete the app on my phone and download it again from the App Store just to change accounts. It’s too easy to start a new account and then impossible to change from one to another. ## Frequently asked questions about ParkVictoria ### What does the ParkVictoria app do?
