## Description

The pioneering system in Portugal offers drivers the fastest and easiest solution to pay for parking using their cell phone or tablet, without the need to use coins or go to the parking meter.
With the 'Start and Stop' feature, the driver can start and stop the parking period at any time, and only pays for the time the vehicle has actually been parked.
The application also offers a pay-per-time mode, in which the driver specifically indicates how long he/she wants to park, and will be alerted each time the parking period is nearing its end, so that he/she can then extend the parking period.

## Review summary

Overall, users report significant usability and payment issues with iParque Driver. Pros noted include easier parking flow and some towns (like Faro) supporting payments where others don’t, with MB Way top-ups appearing fast. Cons recur across reviews: you must manually start/stop parking (risk of forgotten charges), a clunky wallet model with town-specific balances and slow/failed top-ups, limited payment methods (no Apple Pay), reliability/authentication problems, and security concerns (phishing texts). The app needs simpler, reliable multi-town payments and automatic stop functionality.

### Pros

- Makes parking easier.
- MB Way top-ups appear instantly.
- Useful in towns that don’t accept other payments (e.g., Faro).

### Cons

- Must manually start and stop parking sessions; forgetting can waste money.
- Preloading money per town; funds are not easily transferable across towns and top-ups can be slow.
- Limited payment options and reliance on MB Way; no Apple Pay; issues in poor reception.
- Reliability/authentication problems; app can fail to work.
- Security concerns (phishing texts after signup).
