I’ve been using the APCOA CONNECT parking app for quite a while to pay for parking at a local train station. This cashless parking app looks very similar and seems to share account details with the APCOA CONNECT app. I had to download this cashless parking app today to pay for a parking space at Waitrose. I realised that this app shares account details with the APCOA CONNECT app (I was warned that I already had an account when I tried to register with the cashless parking app for the first time!). They’re not exactly the same apps because this cashless app lists the train station parking space but the APCOA app doesn’t list the Waitrose parking space! I should also mention that I couldn’t pay with a credit card on this cashless parking app. It generated a “merchant error” message. I mentioned it to a friend who also uses this app. She stated that credit cards don’t work so you need to use the Apple Pay option instead. What’s going on?redimension , 03/11/2022
I use the app only occasionally so find it annoying that I have often been required to re-enter card details for no apparent reason. I’ve also been unable to use Apple Pay without entering card details - which seems rather to miss the point of Apple Pay. These things said, the app has improved over the last few years.batesy_uk , 21/07/2022
Hand down the worst parking app I have used. Close to the worst app I have used for anything actually. The sign up process is absolutely terrible. Makes you confirm everything twice, I assume because someone thought that would be a good idea, but doesn’t have any support for a password manager or even allow the pasting of your password into the confirm field. End result… a secure password is a nightmare to sign up with. Once into this distorted, pixelated 10 year old looking app, you have to enter your card details before you are able to pay with Apple Pay. To finish you off, you have to pay an extra 20p on top of you parking as a “convenience fee”…lol. Not sure how I feel about an app like this storing my card details to be honest, they are probably on some google sheet somewhere, or better yet, written on a post it note, stuck on some product manager’s computer screen.
