Avoid fines with Park Lite and find your car Do you also know the annoying problem of forgetting the time on your parking disc? Because you are distracted by whining children, the barking dog or because you are simply forgetful? Then Park Lite is the ideal solution for you. You set the time on the Park Lite app for when your parking expires, and then you get a reminder, so you don't forget your parking and thus avoid annoying fines. How the app works: Press "Park" and set the desired parking time. Shortly before your parking time expires, you will receive a message. You will receive another message when the parking time has expired. When you open the app window, you will be shown the way back to your vehicle. Location/GPS feature must be enabled on your device and you must allow notifications to be informed. Note that your phone will use more power when the app is running in the background. Always pay attention to local parking rules, time limits and rate zones.
