ParkIQ: Parking Timer & Cost

Parking costs you twice: once at the barrier, and once in the ten minutes you spend looking for the car.

ParkIQ handles both. One tap when you park. One glance when you are deciding whether to leave.

■ WHERE DID I PARK

Tap "I Parked" and the spot is saved. That is the whole interaction — two seconds, no form to fill. Add a photo, a level ("P2, row C") or a note only when the garage is confusing enough to need it.

On the way back the map and the compass point at your car. In a basement where GPS lies, the photo and the level you saved are what actually get you there.

■ LEAVE BEFORE THE PRICE JUMPS

Most parking apps give you a stopwatch. A stopwatch tells you nothing. Enter the parking rate once and ParkIQ counts down to the next price step, then warns you before you cross it:

"Exit now $5. After 14:30, $10."

Walk out in time and the difference stays in your pocket. ParkIQ adds it up — the saved total is the number you see in your history.

No rate posted? The parking timer and a plain reminder still work on their own. Set it loud and it rings through silent mode.

■ FIND PARKING NEARBY

The map shows car parks and EV charging points around you, drawn from OpenStreetMap. Tap one for the walk time and directions.

■ WHAT IT COSTS

Free, with no ads, ever:
• Unlimited parking records, timer and price-step alerts
• The parking card on your lock screen while the session runs
• Photo, level and note; share your spot by link
• Find My Car: place, photo, level, note and "open in maps"
• Unlimited history and savings stats
• Finding car parks on the map

ParkIQ Pro adds:
• Scan a posted rate board with the camera instead of typing it
• Compass pointing back to your car
• Filter car parks by charger, cover and distance
• Suggested tariffs from other drivers, applied in one tap

■ NO ACCOUNT

There is no sign-up, no login and no password. Open the app and park.

Every price in ParkIQ is a cumulative total: what you pay if you leave at that moment, not a per-hour figure you have to multiply in your head.
