Parker app review

This predominantly US-focused app only has detailed parking info for Birmingham and Manchester in the UK.

Parker
Overall Auto Express rating

2.0

Price: Free | Available for: iOS, Android

This predominantly US-focused app only has detailed parking info for Birmingham and Manchester in the UK, but it’ll still work everywhere else in the country where councils use relevant pay methods – Parkmobile or PayByPhone. All you need to do is check in your car, relying on the app’s use of GPS, and fill in reg details. There aren’t many ways of finding spaces, but its paying capabilities redeem it.
