Southend Parking

I have real trouble with the app most days, It doesn’t always load and I have to pay at the machine or it logs me out and I have to log back in which is time consuming and frustrating.

This App was working great but recently it’s changed. The notification reminder that parking is running out comes on the parking time or even after it’s run out not 10 minutes before like it use to be and the app keeps logging us out then takes ages to log back in, we asked Southend Council about it and was told to uninstall and reinstall the app which we’ve done more than once. I always now use Go Mobon App which is exactly the same (Southend Parking use their App system) and we don’t get these problems.

Why do I need to pay a .10p admin charge

Just to book parking!

I stopped using Mobon a while ago because it kept declining perfectly good cards. Guess what. The app is the same. Funny how the cards work everywhere except on mobon. Deleted.

Have had multiple tickets because this app either logs me out and refuses my password or autonomously changes the ‘primary vehicle’ so you end up putting parking on the wrong plate. The cynic in me thinks it could be a deliberate bug to earn more revenue from fines.

It has taken me 15 minutes to log in today

I had some reservations about this app, not that I’d heard anything bad about it, it was simply that I wasn’t sure whether I’d find too many restrictions as to it’s use. On the contrary, I discovered that there are more advantages to using this app then I’d imagined. Naturally it might not be appropriate for all people but it certainly works for me!

Quick and easy to use

App is easy to use.
