### 1/5 — Does not allow all areas

*2026-07-31, version 1.4.4*

This app just does not work

### 1/5 — Avoid using

*2026-07-09, version 1.4.4*

Tried using this app in Switzerland. Never seen such a poorly designed parking app. Don’t use if you can

### 1/5 — Terrible, waste of time and data

*2026-06-10, version 1.4.4*

I wish there was a zero rating. Country of residence- just few countries listed, city search - same. 
Deleted quicker than download

### 1/5 — Charged

*2026-06-10, version 1.4.4*

I was charged multiple times when I tried to extend my parking time.  I had no idea until I checked online.

### 1/5 — Impossible to get set up, keeps saying email in use then if use reset password- just says no account

*2026-06-07, version 1.4.4*

The circle of death- trying to set up

### 3/5 — Bof bof pas très simple

*2026-05-12*

Pas facile de rentrer sa carte bancaire (pas scanné), et l’application n’autorise pas un paiement rapide (type Apple pay) il a fallu refaire trois fois la manip pour enregistrer la carte.
De plus sur le choix de la zone de parking, l’option du parking 1 se remettait intempestivement: j’ai payé le parking 1 en étant sur la zone 2, et il a fallu déplacer la voiture pour être en règle.
La prochaine fois je paye tout simplement à la borne, c’est beaucoup plus simple! Résultat : l’application ne semble pas faciliter les choses. Un conseil aux développeurs, améliorer la fluidité d’enrôlement et le choix des zones

### 5/5 — Rubbish App

*2026-05-02, version 1.4.4*

Not a very good app. Whoever developed this app. Did very poor job. Not impressed at all.

### 5/5 — Facilite

*2026-04-26*

Genial à utiliser plus facile qu aux bornes  dommage que nous ne puissions pas utiliser l appli de partout

### 2/5 — Not always clear

*2026-04-07, version 1.4.4*

Great time saver but it’s not always clear how much you will be paying or how long you are allowed to to park. Some of this is local regulations of course but 8 hours will be 5 euros but add a half hour and it becomes 30 euros. So just use cautiously

### 1/5 — Broken wallet / no support

*2026-03-31, version 1.4.4*

Impossible to register a card, app can’t handle the additional checks. No customer support
