Looking4Parking

Mum had a few appointments at the hospital and the car park there is always full by mid morning. I looked at two other apps and the prices were roughly the same, but this one showed me the spaces nearby with the walking distance. Booked for the whole week in one go.

Booked a space near the venue for the wedding weekend. The spot was there but it was on a slope and the surface was muddy after the rain, so it wasn't quite what I'd pictured from the photos. Support took a day to reply to my question about the access gate.

Got the monthly pass for uni, saves me so much faff. Parked near campus every day and the app reminds me when it's about to run out. Cheap enough too, love it.

First time using it and I'd been going round the car park for ages before, so compared to that this was a relief. Found a spot near the station in a couple of minutes, paid through the app and that was it. Walked to the platform with time to spare.

I needed somewhere to leave the car for my husband's appointments at the hospital since the car park fills up early. I've been using them for a couple of years now and it has never let me down. Easy to top up and sort out.

Honestly one of the better apps I've used for parking. Booked a spot after work, got the reminder, and the car was fine when I came back. Cheaper than the car park I normally use.

Compared to the council meters with the coins and the dodgy machine, this is so much easier. Just put the postcode in and pay. Got a text reminder before it ran out which was handy.

Needed to park near the festival site and the official ones were sold out weeks ago. Found a private space through the app and it was only a short walk from the gate. Booked on my phone while stuck on the motorway and it was sorted before I got there.

Found a space near the arena on the app about an hour before the show, which was clutch. Booking took a few taps and the directions got me there fine. Couldn't leave the car where the signs said so I had to rebook once, bit annoying but sorted in the end.

Went to Manchester for a weekend and wanted somewhere to park the car. Tried two other apps first and this had the best rate for the car park I needed. Used the day rate, which was pretty fair, and left without any fuss.

Honestly it does exactly what you need when you're parking in the city. Sign up took two minutes and I was parked before the meter would have been sorted. Pleased with it.

Signed up the night before a work trip and the sign up took two minutes. The app showed me exactly where I could park near the office and I just tapped to pay when I got there. Really pleased I finally tried it, no more hunting for a space in the morning.

Bought the monthly pass for my commute into town since the office charges are a nightmare. Works out much cheaper than paying by the hour every day. Renewing it was a single tap and the reminder came through a few days before it ran out. Good value for what it is.

Took longer than I expected to get signed up because it wanted my details twice and the code didn't arrive for a bit. Once I was in, booking a space near the surgery was simple and cheaper than the car park.

The map shows you the free spots near where you're going which saved me circling the block twice. Pay is through the app so no fumbling for change, and the reminder before time runs out is handy. Only gripe is the price for the street I parked on was a bit steep compared to the car park round the corner, but I still used it and would again.

Compared to the other parking apps I tried, this one was a bit more expensive for the same street. The booking itself was fine but I had to check the terms twice to see the charges. Cars parked in the same place, so it did the job in the end.

Had to get to the arena last minute and everywhere was full. Booked a space on the app while on the bus. Got there and the spot was exactly where it said, which was a relief at 7pm with the queue going.

I used to pay the council meter every time I went into town and it added up. Looking4Parking worked out a fair bit less for a full afternoon, and I didn't have to find coins or wait for a ticket to print. The app asks for your registration once and remembers it, so the next visit took about a minute. Good value for what I needed.

Used it for a night out in town because I didn't want to pay the late night rates at the multi storey. Compared to the other app I normally use, the spaces show up with the price before you commit, which I liked. The only thing is the app kept asking me to rate it while I was still trying to pay. The spot was tidy and easy to find when I got back the next morning.

Paid by the day to leave the car at the station while I was away for the week. It worked out cheaper than the official car park by a fair bit. Clear instructions and the receipt came through by email straight away.
