About this app

The name Parkopedia is a combination of the words parking and encyclopedia (think Wikipedia... but for parking!).

Born out of a frustration of looking for parking, we have set out to map and list every parking space in the world. To date, Parkopedia has grown to cover 70 million parking spaces in over 15000 cities around the world thanks to contributions from drivers like you.

Use this app to

* Find parking using your current location or by entering an address

* Get directions straight to the space or an entrance

* See parking space availability in real-time where available (Premium upgrade required)

* Find opening hours, up to date prices, payment methods and more

* Quickly narrow down parking choices using filters such as street parking only, free, credit cards accepted, covered, etc

If we don't have coverage in your area yet, please send us an email and we will keep you updated on our progress. You can also easily add a space by uploading a photo of a parking sign or a price list.

Ratings and reviews

Buggy as hell. This is the buggiest app I've ever used. Sometimes it just decides to go completely blank. It doesn't save my searches anymore. It takes forever to load. It doesn't accept a lot of forms of addresses so you have to enter them in in the exact way it likes - which is a way I've never seen anybody write one. That aside it has the majority of parking information missing and I live in London. The UI is terrible. It can be wrong as it's user generated. Overall useful. But fix the bugs.

Terrible, I tap the box to type in a town and it just takes me to a blank page. Other times it does nothing when I tap the box. When I click on current location, it's fine, the map and parking locations show but if I click on other locations, postcode etc. it takes me to a blank white page with 'powered by google' at the top of the page. Reloaded the app today 2nd Feb. 23. and it won't let me add an account. Filled in the form, ticked the conditions box and nothing happens.

Parkopedia is a godsend. I hate driving to places without a plan for parking with a fiery passion, and having Parkopedia in my pocket means that that rarely happens any more. And its filters are the exact amount of detail I want, meaning I can either see exact prices for the exact time I'll be somewhere, or just "is there parking somewhere sort of about now". And usually, it'll link its sources for prices and hours, so you can double-check the official results if you're uncertain. It's one of the killer apps for having a smart phone, frankly. If I had a complaint, it's that you can't choose a custom epicentre for where it measures search results - you either needs an exact street name/postcode, or trust that just banging in a town name will centre on an area that provides useful results. But really, that's nitpicking - usually, you can search for a specific enough epicentre that the difference is academic. Get this app if you drive a car.
