Had to wait 2 days for a reply
The query was answered but after a couple of days wait. This is not very helpful when you’re in the car park waiting for an answer.

Worst Parking App I’ve Ever Used
I attempted to use Parkonomy to pay for parking at Colchester Institute, but the system completely failed. Even though I got as far as confirming the payment through my banking app, nothing was processed — my car wasn’t registered and no payment was taken.
The app itself is incredibly poor. It is awkward to navigate, does not store card details (so you have to re-enter them every single time), and regularly freezes mid-transaction. On top of that, it looks and feels outdated compared to every other parking app I’ve used — none of which have given me these issues.
Unfortunately, Colchester Institute insists on using Parkonomy, otherwise I would never touch it. Without question, this is the worst parking app I have ever encountered. If I could give it less than one star, I absolutely would!

Avoid – App Failure Leads to Unfair PCNs
I had a terrible experience with the Parkonomy app. I parked at a site using their QR code and went through the registration process. The app successfully created my account and even accepted my card details, but the payment was never processed. Despite doing everything correctly, I later received a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).
This makes it look like it’s the customer’s fault, when in reality it’s due to Parkonomy’s broken system. Their web-based app is unreliable and insecure, and clearly not fit for purpose.
It is extremely frustrating to act in good faith, try to pay properly, and still be penalised with a PCN because the app cannot complete transactions.
⚠️ My advice: If you see Parkonomy at a car park – avoid it. Their system is not capable of handling payments securely, and you are at serious risk of being unfairly fined.
Absolutely horrible experience and I am very annoyed today.

Paid and Fined, no empathy from these people
Found a parking, it was not clear that you had to pay on arrival and I wasn't sure how long we were going to be, wife was in Labour! anyway, came back paid for a days parking. Had been given a fine for not paying on arrival, sent in an appeal showing payment for the whole day. Appeal was not successful. Zero empathy from these people.

Appalling App and Appalling Service
The overwhelmingly negative reviews about Parkonomy on both Trust pilot (88% 1 star) and Google play (80% 1 star) says it all. The majority of the negative reviews relate to poor App functionality.
In my case, it was a failure of their App functionality which caused the issue of a £100 PCN, which is in line with so many other comments and experiences on this site. However, there are other themes worth pointing out.
1. Parkonomy tells everyone that they respond to any emails sent to them about a failure to book parking, and that emails not received by the customer have likely gone into spam. That was the response I got from them as well, but there was nothing in my spam folder. When I asked Parkonomy (twice) to send me the email again they ignored me. This raises doubts with me that emails are always being sent.
2. They also like to conveniently distance themselves from the Parking Operator when things go wrong and claim that they have no involvement in issuing PCN's. When I paid my £100 PCN, which was issued to me by the parking operator and paid on the parking operators website, the payment on my credit card went to.........Parkonomy! So when they say they do not issue PCNs, they are not telling you the full story!
It might be worth people knowing that the Government are currently consulting with interested parties, including the public, on the poor practices of Private Car Park operators, with the purpose of raising standards across the industry. The scope of the consultation includes faulty mobile apps such as the Parkonomy app. Register your views because customer feedback can only help in forcing Parkonomy to up their game and provide a better service. Search for government consultations on private-parking-code-of-practice. Consultation is open until the 5th September.
9/8/25 - I think your comments about the emails are just part of your spam game.
Glad you are now admitting that you are part of the PCN process.
Question - Why would a payment on the operators site need to go to you? I wonder how much commission you receive on the PCN.
Your comment..."we are not a car park operator, we facilitate the payments on their behalf, we are a parking payment platform only" is one of the reasons the Government have commissioned the consultation. Your culture is the problem.

Low level crime
Low level crime. Charge for booking fee , plus SMS notification and SMS reminder which I did not even received last two. These companies are trying to steal as much as they can from you on a very low level.

Absolutely shocking company
Absolutely shocking company, incorrectly selected the wrong car when paying for parking. Tried to contact them and received no reply via email and no number to contact them either. So I’ve paid and now still got a fine!

This is the most useless parking company I have ever seen. I have 3 fines to pay because their system wouldn’t work, they have so customer service no helpline.
In one of the occasions I tried to pay over the phone as their website was down, the phone payment line declined all three cards I entered. Moved my car and I still got a ticket!
More recently I paid at location 1331 at the Aquatics centre manchester and I still got a ticket for “not displaying valid permit” I paid through their useless app how could I display a ticket?
I would give this company no stars absolutely rubbish.

Charge £5 twice for the same booking
Charge £5 twice for the same booking. This is second time it’s happened in a last few month. Please be careful as could end up paying twice for the same parking. Try to contact parkonomy no respond but the reviews says it all.

Tried to park in Bridgend
Tried to park in Bridgend, downloaded app and it wouldn't lete add a card. Tried over the phone but kept cutting me off before getting to payment saying there was an error. Tried on the website but wouldn't load. Absolutely hopeless system. Had to move and park somewhere else.
EDIT In reply to parkonomy response.
I had no issues with phone signal. Add card in the app was greyed out and was unable to add a card. I followed your instructions on the board and then the text you sent me. Rang the number you sent and it hung up on me twice saying there was an error before getting to payment. Four other people in the car park at the same time were also having the same issues. You need to take notice of all the other bad reviews and sort out you systems instead of blaming your customers!

Parkonomy this reply is further to your reply from My post to say the link wasnt working to add time to my booking and no one was available to help me at that time. So utter garbage of a response from you!

App simply doesn't work
Despite repeated attempts, trying to pay for parking with the parkonomy app just doesn't work. When I confirm the transaction in my banking app, I return to the parkonomy app to find myself on a page with a massive font with a partial message that can't be fully read, and way out - you have to kill the app. The transaction never completes.
Most other parking apps it takes a few seconds to pay. If you're a car park operator, avoid this one.

App not working, no way to pay.
Parked in Hythe, 2 hours free by supermarket, after that charges apply. Parkonomy app would not work correctly, would not accept card details. Phone number just rings and rings. Sent an enquiry in, answered 03/02/25, unhelpful answers. It appears you cannot pay by card/app until you have paid once by phone, the one that is not answered and did not connect to an automated system. I suspect a parking fine will follow from Total Parking, who run the site. Thanks Parkonomy.

You write a review complaining about…
You write a review complaining about the service and how people can never seem to sort the parking and then deflect and blame the car park operator on the pcn. If your instructions were better and your app worked well then there would not be a pcn charge and no need for a complaint. No option to reply on here either so I will have to continue to write new poor reviews until someone takes ownership of its failure! I have been left is financial distress over this absolute con. Avoid at all costs, seems to happen at all locations

Awful app
Awful app. Payment never completes, the interface is glitchy, and support is nonexistent. It’s the worst parking payment experience I’ve ever had—avoid at all costs.
