I've been using this app for over a year to travel throughout Europe, all the way from Spain to Estonia. It is incredibly useful and well worth the yearly fee. What makes it so useful is that so many people take the time to review parking spots. These reviews include details that allow you to get a quick sense of the place including photos, and how recently the review was made. And it's not only places to park for lunch or recreation or spend the night but also things like laundromat, shower and waste disposal locations. It's really wonderful how many people have taken the time to write all these reviews and how responsive the app team is. I have communicated with them several times for help and they always respond quickly in detail. They seem to take great effort to moderate content and keep up-to-date on changing situations, such as when a site is no longer to be used because of local complaints. You honestly get the sense that all are cooperating together to make an incredibly useful database. And on top of all that they are all sorts of features which allow you to filter and see where stops are along your trip, etc. The only thing I wish they would include is away to export your personal reviews. I believe if they did that people would make even higher quality reviews because they know for sure they can preserve their work

The app is great, but it stopped working for some reason. It now thinks I don’t have Internet and without Internet is pretty much unusable especially because right now I don’t have to paid version. Please fix asap. Closing and opening the app didn’t help. Edit: Found out that in the phone settings the app was on deactivated cellphone internet. No idea how that happened, but no it works again.

The app used to be awesome and we used it daily during our van life sabbatical, however the latest update ruined it. It’s very slow now, for instance favoriting a Spot takes forever as the app won’t recognize the star button correctly and even when it finally marks it, seconds later its gone again in the overview. No more offline comments, which stopped us commenting at all as we are mostly traveling without a constant internet connection, and it doesn’t load spots correctly either, same area, same search but different spots shown. Also it used to be that the intro text of each spot could be shown in English, not anymore either. Horrible update and I really wish I still had the better, older version!!!
