MiPermit

My local council has replaced the paper shopping permits with this piece of rubbish. It’s criminal of them. A large number of the users are elderly, but this app is terribly bad. It’s unclear how to select your parking location, it drives you to pay a £0.10 SMS fee. It’s so very bad. The developers, and the councils who mandate this, they all should be ashamed.

As a visitor from a different country, this app won’t let me register my phone. Every hour I have to keep paying for one hour only. If I “ register“ I won’t be charged near as much and won’t have to keep paying every hour but can rather pay in bulk. Needs a way to except international phone numbers to register.

You'd better have actual coins or a UK mobile number. You can't extend a stay overnight without registering with their app, and the app refuses to accept US mobile phone numbers. The help section of their website doesn't answer our questions, and the hold times are too long to be at all helpful.

I paid £15 and have no proof of payment!!

First of all, I don’t enjoy paying for parking. But where I must, this is an easy to use app. I can only speak from an iPhone users point of view but this app identifies the nearest parking spots using GPS, allows payment using ApplePay, and utilises both the magic island display and Lock Screen to display time remaining on your session. It also allows extensions of parking sessions if the spot allows. It’s also easy to add you’re vehicle. I’ve knocked a star off as there’s no Apple Watch complication as yet. That would be useful.

It won’t let me register.

Good app. Would also like it to support Passkeys instead of passwords and to be able to lock the app with FaceID

Has worked most of the time but has a nasty habit of changing the date you buy a ticket for without telling you, made a payment on the 9th for parking on the 10th, but when I came back to my car I found a parking ticket so went to check the app as my the money had already been taken out to see that the transaction hasn’t been finalised even tho the money is gone then books a ticket for the 11th

Worst app ever. Don’t bother using it

This app used to be great, so easy to manage but they have since brought in the ridiculous change by a number of councils in terms of if you leave you are unable to return within 2 hours which would be fine but the way they have done this within the app is poor. If you fail to extend before the parking session runs out you are deemed to have left and with zero grace time. Previously, if it expired you could add a new session as you have not left the car park but now failure to extend you are left with no option to leave the car park. Ridiculous, please use common sense and at least add a 15min grace period which ticket inspectors are bound by before they can issue a ticket to set up a new session.
