There is an issue with the application.

### 2/5 — Previous version was better than the current one

After the update the easier option of locating the street and parking zone on the map disappeared. Also now it doesn’t show the vehicle registration documents or license documents under my documents.

### 4/5 — Map disappeared from public parkings

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-12, version 6.3.5*

I tried downloading this before a holiday to Dubai but they can’t even get the basic right. Trying to register it simply doesn’t send a verification code to let me set up an account. I tried 2 different email addresses, checked the junk folder. App is junk. Unfortunately like most bings in Dubai, they are a shiny fragile mirror that breaks easily.

### 3/5 — Constant updating

*2025-09-19, version 6.3.4*

It needs to be constantly updated and sometimes I’m in a rush and need to pay my parking but it needs updating AGAIN

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-09-08, version 6.3.3*

Absolutely useless, I can’t login on the app so I have to physically go on to the website

### 1/5 — Not showing how much duration left in the parking

*2025-08-30, version 6.3.2*

Such a worst app, I lost my money multiple times, I always use this for my parking tickets but after some time you return to the app to see how much time left, it will not show and indicate like 00 minutes left. So I recharge again and see that there was enough time left !!!

### 2/5 — Nol Card

*2025-08-13*

So I had a Nol card which crashed immediately after recharging it and when I tried to request for a refund they said you need to have your Nol card registered even though you didn’t had an emirates ID, and now that I am trying to register my other Nol card it won’t let me. 

I mean isn’t RTA known for its quality???

### 2/5 — Terrible and no way to talk to anyone

*2025-07-28, version 6.3.0*

Bot doesn’t know the answers to my questions but there is no option to speak to a person

### 1/5 — San

*2025-07-14, version 6.2.9*

Since they have updated this app, it is terrible. Very bad user experience. App keeps logging out, I have to keep authenticating via UAE pass which is very fiddly and Annoying. Sort it out guys.

### 1/5 — Not able to delete old cars under ‘Manage Vehicle’

*2025-07-14*

When you try to delete the old car plates under manage vehicle it doesn’t delete it, plus if we want to favorite star a second car I can’t, I have to scroll all the way down through the old cars and then pay, it usually make a mistake and we end up paying money to a wrong car ! It’s very annoying and irritating

### 5/5 — Pay for parking now has 2 options

*2026-06-06, version 6.4.6*

I like how now the app gives you two options to find the parking code. By a pin on the map and by a list of codes. Greta app.

### 5/5 — RTA APP HANGS FREQUENTLY WHILE MAKING PARKING TRANCATION.

*2025-11-17*

I am giving 5 star rating as i strongly believe RTA will resolve the issue at the earliest. RTA app frequently hangs specially in the morning hours when you are in rush which eventually reads to parking fine. Other then that very satisfied. 

I request and hope RTA will resolve this glitch.

Thank you
