Navigate the city easily, whether you're driving, walking, or using public transport. With our GPS-powered app, you can see your precise location and get convenient directions straight to your destination wherever you are — in Dubai, Baku, or any other city. The app shows you directions that avoid traffic, tracks bus schedules, and knows all those fast, easy walking routes that take you around obstacles. With Yango Maps, you get a stress-free driving experience with real-time updates on the road and clear instructions on how to navigate complex intersections. You'll get warnings about traffic jams, road closures, and speed limits ahead of time so you'll definitely get there on schedule. The app will also direct you to parking and fuel stations near your destination so that nothing stands between you and the places you need to go. You can get directions even without an internet connection — simply download an offline map for your city or region, and you'll never get lost offline. Yango Maps is also available in CarPlay so you can see your route laid out in front of you as you drive. This currently works in the UAE and Azerbaijan, and we'll add support for more countries in upcoming updates. Feel free to contact us at app-maps@yango.com
Parky

Parky is the fastest way to handle street parking in the UAE. Pick your emirate, choose how long you're staying, and Parky prepares the exact SMS your parking operator expects — you just press Send. BUILT FOR THE UAE Parky knows the message format for each service and fills in your plate details automatically: • Abu Dhabi (Mawaqif — 3009) • Dubai (Parkin — 7275) • Sharjah • Aljada, with zones S1, S2, SP1 and SP2 plus their tariffs and paid hours • Ajman NEVER GET CAUGHT OUT A live countdown shows exactly how much parking time is left, right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Parky alerts you before your time expires so you can extend before a fine — not after. YOUR VEHICLES, READY TO GO Save as many cars as you like with plate number, plate code and registration emirate, including GCC and international plates. Switch between them in one tap; no more typing your plate at the kerb. MORE FOR DRIVERS • Official monthly UAE fuel prices — Special 95, Super 98, E-Plus 91 and diesel — available offline • Save where you parked and share the exact spot with a friend • Keep frequent places like home, work or university one tap away • A shareable contact QR card for when you need to leave your number ARABIC FIRST, 19 LANGUAGES Parky is designed in Arabic with complete right-to-left support, and also speaks English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Turkish, Persian, Malayalam and Tamil. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No servers. Your plates, history and saved places never leave your iPhone. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking — and the app works offline. HOW IT WORKS Parky is an independent assistant that prepares your parking message. It does not pay on your behalf and never sends anything automatically: you review the text and tap Send in the Messages app, and the operator's own reply is your confirmation. Parky is not affiliated with any government entity or parking operator. Standard carrier SMS and parking charges apply. Free, with no subscriptions and no in-app purchases.
