The PayByPhone app simplifies your journey. From registering and paying for your parking in seconds, to extending it without having to return to your vehicle, and reminders of when it ends, we know you have more to worry about than parking. The PayByPhone app can be used in over 1,000+ cities worldwide & is now available in 12 languages, making it easier than ever. As the highest rated parking app in the world, PayByPhone has helped over 72 million motorists pay for their parking simply and easily, so they can focus on what matters most to them.
For businesses signed up to PayByPhone Business, the app allows drivers to simply switch between business and personal payment cards on the PayByPhone app when they park, so no time-consuming monthly expense reports or saving receipts. Paying for parking with PayByPhone is more environmentally-friendly than paying with cash: there are fewer vehicles on the road adding to air pollution to collect cash from pay and display machines.

Very good, quick, easy, always works. I'm always recommending it to others. It's just that good and it's entirely free with no extra or hidden charges. It even reminds you how much time you have left and lets you extend the time from wherever you are. The only thing I have experienced that needs improvement is the map option. I live in San Francisco and a lot of the meters are old and the numbers are faded. Other reviewers have mentioned the same.

Awful connectivity issues every time I use this app. Back end times out often during payment checks or any interaction such as password update. Even trying to submit feedback cannot be done due to time out issue or app just hanging without any error messages or progress. Cannot select Google Pay option even though displayed. Reluctant to give them my CC details b/c I doubt they could stop any serious hack. Just awful.

The app is generally fine, but the map only comes up 10% of the time? It uses to show automatically but it doesn't anymore. Super frustrating because half the time in my city, the numbers on the meter are scratched off so I can't read them. A functional map would be really helpful. edit a year later, the problem is even worse. the map doesn't even show in certain neighborhoods. can someone fix this please?
