SwiftParking

Dudley council screwing local businesses out of greed charging for village parking. App needs topping up £3 to pay for £2.50 parking. Robbing C U Next Tuesdays. . And no Apple Pay? What is this 1995???? Absolute shambles of a council. Already wrecked Dudley town centre now systematically coming after the villages… Won’t be happy til the whole borough is derelict.

Possibly the worst parking app I’ve ever used. As others have said it’s not possible to simply pay for parking and have to top up. You have to add a card and cannot use Apple Pay either. I have my phone so I don’t have to carry a card! Avoid it. Why my local authority picked this is beyond me

Whilst the app is very poorly designed, the fact that you can not just ‘pay’ for the allocated time and have to ‘top up’ your account with a minimum amount is a poor approach. A consumer should NOT have to have an open wallet just to pay for parking. A big shame as having read your responses on ‘thriving to improve…’ nothing appears to have changed.

Avoid. Use if you have no other choice. Need top ups rather than pay for actual parking which is ridiculous. No choice for multiple days parking. It’s either a day or a week!? Shocking..

Why can I not just pay for parking? Why do I have to “top up” a “wallet”. I’m not giving you more money than I actually owe!

If I could give no stars to rate this app I would. It’s a useless frustrating app. It will not even verify an email address so it even be can’t be used when needed.

Incredibly temperamental app that won’t log in. Have tried uninstalling and re-installing and get an error code.

Don’t park anywhere that requires this app

Why is it currently down? When I open it I just get a traffic cone!

Simplest thing of verifying email to even use the app doesn’t work.
