About My Parking Buddy
Fully free to use — no subscriptions or hidden costs. This app helps you remember more than a map pin. Save where you parked, add photos and useful clues, record the level, bay or zone, track your parking time, save useful parking places, and get walking directions back to your car. WHEN YOU PARK Tap “I’ve parked” to start a parking session. The app records the time and attempts to save your current location. Add as much or as little detail as you need. SAVE USEFUL CLUES • Add a main parking photo • Add extra photos of signs, lifts, elevators, stairs, tickets or landmarks • Record the floor or level • Save the bay, row or zone • Add a nearby landmark • Type or dictate notes • Edit the saved location on the map TRACK YOUR PARKING TIME Choose No Limit, a common duration, or a custom expiry time. See how long you have been parked and, where applicable, how much parking time remains. Parking alerts can help you keep track of a timed parking session, including a reminder when time is running low. FIND YOUR WAY BACK See your saved parking position and current location together. Check the estimated walking time and distance, then open walking directions in Apple Maps. SAVE USEFUL PLACES Save car parks, parking garages, streets and other useful parking locations you may want to use again. Add useful details such as: • Parking type • Free or paid parking • Time restrictions • Payment information or location code • Toilets • EV charging • Accessibility information • Height restrictions • Notes and photos Previous parking sessions can be linked to the same Saved Place, so a large car park does not need to become lots of separate saved locations. SEARCH YOUR HISTORY Completed parking sessions remain available in History. Search by place, date, notes, floor, bay, zone or landmark. PARK HERE AGAIN Reuse a useful previous parking location without changing the original History record. USEFUL FOR • Multi-storey car parks and parking garages • Airports and ferry terminals • Hospitals and shopping centres • Stations and event parking • Hotels and unfamiliar streets • Day trips, holidays and travel NO CUSTOM ACCOUNT This app does not require a custom account. Designed for iPhone and iPad. This app is fully free to use with no subscriptions or hidden costs. Small adverts are shown to help support development and keep the app free. AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES This app has been localised for 14 languages, helping make it easier to use at home and while travelling. IMPORTANT GPS positions, place names, walking routes, distances, timings, alerts and saved parking details may be inaccurate or unavailable. Always check official parking signs, restrictions, payment requirements, expiry times and local rules. This app helps you remember and return to a saved parking location. It does not pay for parking, reserve parking spaces or replace official parking information.
