Park, walk away, come back.
The app keeps the things you'd forget: which level, which bay, which lift. When you come back it shows you all of it, and it tells you how sure it is about each one.
When you park
Tap save in the app, or use a widget, Siri or a Shortcut. Widgets and controls open the app to save, so it gets a fresh location fix. It takes the best fix it can get in a few seconds and then freezes it, so walking away can't move the spot.
Point the camera at the level sign and it reads the level, the colour zone and the bay. The reading happens on your phone, so it works with no signal. You check what it found before it's saved, and quick-pick buttons cover anything it misses.
Underground, the phone often can't get a location at all. You can still save the spot with a photo and the level, and the rest of the app works without a map.
On your way out, take a photo of the lift or stair door you left by. When GPS comes back outside, the app notes where you came out, so it can bring you back to the same door.
While you're away
If it's pay and display, add the time from your ticket. The app can read it off the ticket, a parking app screenshot or the sign, and you confirm it. You'll get a reminder before it runs out: "Ticket runs out at 16:40. We'll remind you at 16:25." A reminder isn't proof you've paid.
On iPhone, the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island can show the level, the bay and the time left. On Android, an ongoing notification shows the same.
When you come back
From a distance you get a map with you and the car on it. Tap for walking directions and the app hands you over to Apple Maps or Google Maps.
Closer in, the app leads with what still works under concrete: the level, the bay, the colour zone and your photos of the sign and the lift door. It shows an arrow only when the phone's compass is good enough. When it isn't, it says so and points you to your photos instead.
Spoken directions and haptic patterns let you find the car without staring at the screen. VoiceOver, TalkBack and larger text sizes are supported throughout.
When you get there, it shows your photo of the bay so you can check it's the right one, and you mark the car as collected.
How sure it is
Underground, a phone's location can be well out or missing altogether, and its compass can be thrown off by steel and concrete. So the app rates each thing on its own and writes it out in words:
Floor: sureDirection: rough
Anything you confirmed yourself, like the level you checked on the sign, always counts for more than a guess from the sensors.
Sharing, history and more than one car
Send the spot to whoever's collecting the car. They get a card with the level, the bay and your photo, plus a link that opens in the app or in any browser. Links can be forwarded and can't be cancelled, so the share sheet reminds you before you send one.
You can save more than one car, each with its own spot. Past spots stay in your history for 30 days by default, with a "park here again" button for places you use often.
On iPhone you can turn on iCloud sync to keep your spots on your other Apple devices. On Android, your spots come back from your Google backup when you set up a new phone, but they don't sync between devices.
Still being tested
Some features are labelled beta in the app while we test them in real UK car parks:
- recording your walk from the car to the exit, so it can be played back in reverse
- counting floors with the phone's barometer
- recognising your spot from a short camera scan
- codes that car parks can put up at entrances and on each level
We'll describe them here once they pass those tests.
