▶ Parking Pin™ - The App that Automatically Remembers Where You Parked & Guides You Back To Your Car! ◀

Never waste your time or energy wandering around again. Other apps claim to guide you back to your car but let’s face it-using an app that requires you to tell it that you’ve parked just isn’t going to work. After all, if you’re prone to forgetting your spot, you’re going to forget to tell the app you’ve parked.

Parking Pin is different. Use it when you need it most-that painful moment when you realize you can’t remember where you parked. Unlike other apps that require you buy extra accessories or to mark your location beforehand, Parking Pin simply remembers your last spot for you without your iPhone ever leaving your pocket or purse. Parking Pin remembers where you’ve parked, even if you don’t!

How Does It Work?

Parking Pin's Pin Finder* uses the newest iPhones’ Motion Coprocessors in combination with Location Services to pinpoint your spots as you park. It does this in the background, while your iPhone is asleep or as you use other apps. The next time you open the app, your current spot will be saved along with a list of your most recent spots.

Don't have an iPhone with Motion capabilities?

We’ve got you covered! As long as you enable Location Services, saving your spots has never been easier. Simply drop a Pin manually with the tap of a button or easily reposition an existing Pin for a more accurate location. Rotating your iPhone reveals a fullscreen map making getting back to your car a snap. It even works without Wifi or Cell Service!

Where’s My Car?

Open the app to see your current Pin location on a map with walking directions, distance to your car, street name, date you parked & how long you’ve been parked for along with a compass needle that continuously points in your car’s direction.

When Does My Meter Expire?

Was that 1 hr 35 mins you bought at 3:15pm or was it 3 hrs at 1:15!? Hate remembering how much time you have left on your meter? So do we. That’s why Parking Pin has a slick built-in Meter with Time Left, Time Available & Expire Time settings. Pinch or tap to set one of these options. Parking Pin automatically calculates & sets the rest-you’ll never need to do the extra math! Parking Pin will even notify you when your meter expires or is about to expire.

User Reviews

Users praise Parking Pin for its polished UI and helpful features like automatic pinning and a compass, plus a parking history and meter timer. When it works, it’s accurate and convenient. However, many reviews flag serious drawbacks: heavy battery drain, unreliable GPS/positioning (especially in garages or abroad), occasional crashes or background-running issues, and pins being lost or overwritten. Some device-specific compatibility problems also appear. Overall, it’s powerful and stylish, but reliability across scenarios is a common concern.
Pros
  • Beautiful, clean and intuitive UI that is easy to use.
  • Automatic pinning when the car stops, plus easy access to parking history.
  • Compass guidance back to your car and a clear history of parked spots.
  • Meter counter helps avoid overstay and can save time/money.
Cons
  • Heavy battery drain; the app uses a lot of power.
  • GPS/location accuracy is inconsistent—often misdirects or shows outdated pins, especially in garages or when traveling overseas.
  • Stability/reliability issues—app can stop working or require background operation, and data can be lost after restart.
  • Pin management problems—pins can get lost or overwritten, and managing multiple pins can be confusing.
  • Device compatibility problems on some iPhones (e.g., iPhone 6/6 Plus) and with certain updates.

Just heard back from the developer. Apparently the issue that kept me from accessing the Motion Tracker on my iPhone 6 has now been fixed! Can’t wait to use this app. Thank you!!

When I pay for an application I expect a customer support. With this app you get zero support. I had a specific question, emailed 3 times. Wasted of my time.
