About this app

"The PayByPhone app simplifies your journey. From registering and paying for your parking in seconds, to extending it without having to return to your vehicle and reminders when it’s about to expire, we know you have more to worry about than parking. The PayByPhone app can be used in over 1,000+ cities worldwide & is now available in 11 languages, making it easier than ever. PayByPhone has helped over 72 million users pay for their parking simply and easily, so they can focus on what matters most to them.

For businesses signed up to PayByPhone Business, the app allows drivers to simply switch between business and personal payment cards on the PayByPhone app when they park, so no time-consuming monthly expense reports or saving receipts. Paying for parking with PayByPhone is more environmentally-friendly than paying with cash: there are fewer vehicles on the road adding to air pollution to collect cash from pay and display machines.

- Ads? In a parking meter app that I pay for? Get lost. - What's the point of assigning location codes if you're going to assign the same code to multiple locations within the same geographic region and then make me select which one I actually want every time (even when I have one favorited and specifically selected that from my favorites)? - Really cool how sometimes the app just refuses to accept that the spot I've entered in the location I've selected exists until like the fourth try.

Downloaded the app, but it won't take any form of payment. I tried 3 different credit cards, including Google payments. Took about 10 minutes of fumbling before I just paid by card at the meter. What a world app, when there is always an error adding a payment method. Had a 2nd person try too...same issue. I think the app is dead.

I can't wait for the National Parking Scheme to get set up, because instead of having dozens of apps to pay for parking you'll be able to choose one and pay for all your parking around the country from one app. And when it's time to choose an app, this will NOT be the one I choose! Changed car recently, put personal plate on, DVLA confirmation instantly sent to me, yet a full month later PayByPhone still hasn't updated their data and I can't add my new car, so I can't use it to park!
