Have had 3 other people not manage to sign up. Can’t beleive the councils use this for their services! Don’t waste your time even trying to ### 1/5 — Broken app *2026-09-02, version 1.8.1* Can’t even sign up. ### 1/5 — Terrible App!! *2026-08-22, version 1.8.1* I'm 22 years old and very good with technology and this app is so complicated for no reason. Please review this app. ### 2/5 — No GPS *2026-08-19, version 1.8.1* This app could be improved no end by having GPS tell you what zone you’re in rather than having to guess ### 1/5 — Slow and too complicated *2026-08-13, version 1.8.1* Very clunky. In Wellington you have to switch to the different areas in your settings. You need to go off to the council Website to work out what level (H2 etc). Why cant you just select where you are on the map and it charges. ### 1/5 — No Apple Wallet support?! *2026-08-08, version 1.8.1* For an app that serves some major councils it’s very poor to not support using saved cards in Apple Wallet ### 3/5 — Has some annoying user flow *2026-08-05, version 1.8.1* It's nice to be able to top up via the app, however this app has some unusual and annoying user experience issues. For example if I want to start and stop the timer then it says to me that it's going to charge me $36 for up to the maximum of 6 hours. This is not a good user experience. Also when booking a fixed time, it shows the full price right at the start instead of allowing for the free time, which it then discounts later. Again it gives the full price and looks like it's going to charge you the full amount when actually it's going to take the free time after the end of the transaction. These types of flows make for a poor user experience ### 1/5 — Too much data entry *2026-08-04, version 1.8.1* No Apple Pay ### 2/5 — Maps don’t work properly *2026-08-04, version 1.8.1* When this app is working, it’s good to use, however the map function to try and add a different zone or to record favourites is absolutely rubbish. Sitting here trying to add Hutt City so I can park but the app won’t bring it up as an option so I’m sitting here stuck and unable to pay for parking. Get the map working properly and make it easier to save zones as favourites would make this up 4 stars. These really are basic functions that should work effortlessly. ### 1/5 — Not great *2026-07-27, version 1.8.1* This app is so bad I’ve started using the machines instead that take ages to print a ticket. Unfortunately they were broken today so I was forced to use this app to pay for my parking. There’s just no way to pay quickly, everything is manual, and it’s a faff. ## Frequently asked questions about PayMyPark ### What does PayMyPark do?
