## PayStay Reviews in Australia

### ***-- "Add apple carplay"
Should work on apple car play
-- Johan di Toit, 2024-12-29

### *---- "Awful UX and buggy as hell"
This app works until anything doesn’t go as planned, then it crumbles.

Firstly, the app has you log in with a phone number, but you can only update your settings if you log in with an email. This creates confusion because suddenly you are asked for details different from what you’re used to. Also, why does this app need so much of my info, you’re just a parking app; who do you think you are‽

Don’t bother trying to use the forgotten password feature, I’ve been trying to get it to work for years, and I’ll still just parking illegally.

Even the fact I need to reauthenticate to add a vehicle is crazy. How many person are fraudulently adding other people’s cars so they can gift them free parking. In fact, LET PEOPLE DO THIS FOR ME!!!

It just seems like common sense has never been in the room where it happens
-- HashNotAdam, 2024-12-29

### *---- "No support for Apple Pay"
App requires a credit card to be stored. No option to use Apple Pay or other third party brokers.
-- greenzombie!, 2024-12-28

### ***-- "What’s the point?"
Why review something that’s a fixture?
And why say it could be easier to operate when you know its primary purpose is to get revenue?
The parker pays for any mistakes.
-- Martiblartfast, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Terrible App"
The muppets are at it again. 
They have now updated the app again so I had to login again (used my vault password) and it didn’t work - no surprises. I reset my password and it was asking for my mobile as my user ID but when I reset the password I had to work out that it really wanted my email address. Now at the 2FA screen, I have a white screen of death doing  nothing. 
Useless and frustrating app that is a con.
-- witheca, 2024-12-22

### *---- "How is this legal?"
First of all it’s impossible to setup the app without giving them your credit card details and even worst is not possible to delete them.  The prompt you for notifications which cost at least .50cents for what? It’s a basic function. Sometimes it show up on car play , sometime it doesn’t.  Sometimes you can’t even log in a if you are in a hurry this just ruins your day.  This app is forced on everyone trying to park, what if you don’t have a phone? Of if you just simply don’t want an other app that is tracking your purchases installed so you can park?  How is this even legal?
-- BeCarefull !, 2024-12-17

### *---- "Useless"
Went to use the app and discovered I’m locked out. No way to reset the lock without calling. No way to create a new account because I’ve got the same damn email and phone number I’ve always had.

After 20minutes of hearing “all our operators are on other calls” every 30 seconds I gave up and left my number for a callback. Still waiting 8 hours later… 

Easy and convenient for whom?
-- TheDancingNerd, 2024-12-16

### *---- "Apple car play"
Stopped working on apple car play so always forgetting its on and paying for full hours of parking, in Melb thats not cheap!
-- SeanFran, 2024-12-13

### ***-- "No credit back"
Download app
-- abc ki, 2024-12-13

### *---- "Where is CarPlay?"
CarPlay for this app stopped working. When is it coming back?
-- Osdor, 2024-12-13
