Parking app review

One vital service that’s overlooked by pretty much all service-locating apps is street-parking.

A reliable aid to circumventing the usual extortionate, overcrowded parking lots is long overdue, but the appropriately named Parking doesn’t quite fit the bill.

While it provides a list of potential parking areas in your location (or through a search facility) and links in with Google Maps, it tends to come back with some strange results. We doubt many of the bed & breakfasts listed will take kindly to you parking up in their drive for the day, and the inclusion of phone links is of questionable value.
