If you choose to drive by yourself, you cannot avoid finding a parking space. PayStay is such a parking artifact. Register your parking time online, buy a ticket and pay, and there will be a text message reminder when the time is up. It is simple and efficient, and you don’t have to worry about overtime tickets.
Then, with the improvement of living standards, there are more and more car owners, and parking difficulties have become a worldwide problem. Even in Australia, where the land is sparsely populated, there are still troubles such as finding a parking space, expensive parking fees, being fined for improper parking, or being towed away for serious violations. Of course, the emergence of the PayStay application has solved some of the troubles that you may encounter at present. As long as you have internet access, you can find the cheapest parking space near you anytime, anywhere in Australia.
More importantly, for the sake of environmental protection, the Australian government has gradually replaced the ticket vending machines selling paper parking tickets with electronic ticket vending machines. And PayStay is a parking app that works with electronic ticket vending machines, which is popular in several major cities in Australia. In the App, you can find suitable public parking spaces by searching the address. It will tell you how long you can park in the parking space you choose, how much you will pay, and so on.
On iOS App Store, the rating of PayStay is 4.7 out of 5.0, with 48,600 user reviews. On Google Play, its rating is 2.8 out of 5.0, with 5, 740 user reviews and more than 500,000 installs. Based on the above data, we can find that this app has relatively high scores and ranks high in App Store. Therefore, if you need to drive in Australia, PayStay is a very good parking app.
In the latest update, the app has improved address search so you can now search for parking near your destination. At the same time, some minor bugs have also been fixed, and the stability of the application has also been improved.
Judging from the actual experience, this application is indeed very practical. It will send you a reminder before the parking limit is approaching that you need to move the vehicle or leave the parking space, so you don’t get a ticket for overtime parking. More importantly, for those with a bad sense of direction, you can also use this app to find your parking location. When you are not sure where there is a parking space nearby, you can also use PayStay to find it. You can also view the parking fees you have paid in the past through transaction history.
