Ringo App

[Nanu]

Has anyone used the Ringo App?

With more and more local authorities removing cash payment parking meters, wondering if this is worth activating?

Used it a couple of times, pretty useful.

I use it. One thing I would say is just double check the parking location when pay using the car. Sometimes the app in the car will give you the wrong location code if there are multiple paid by RingGo car park. Otherwise, it's very convenient if the car park support RingGo (majority of car parks around me use PayByPhone ).

Cheers

Will activate it tomorrow and try it

I use it all the time.

All sorted, now just have to find a car park that uses it

Quick question on this.
The RINGGO app on my phone has a feature ‘connected vehicles’ that I am aware was simply not working for some months.

After seeing this post I tried connecting my account to the car again and it at least is now accepting my BMW username and password, but I then get an error screen on my phone. Has anyone recently got this linkup to work?

Will you be getting the John, Paul and George apps too?

Ringo, JustPark, PayByPhone, MiPermit, SabaParking.....all apps I have on my phone due to the UK using different ways to remotely pay. Ringo is seems to be the most prevalent.

None of them can sing, play the guitar or drums, though.

I set the App up OK and linked a card for payment without a problem but like you, it recognises the car but I get the same error message when it tries to connect with the vehicle.

Tried the help on the App and it gives the same instructions which doesn’t work. Can’t speak to a real person until after the bank holiday

Had the same issue. Found a thread on bimmerworld that it's a know issue (for months) with people chasing customer support. No ETA to fix.

I gave up and just use the ringoapp on Android auto or my phone instead.

Or just don't use it at all and use cash instead?

Parking apps are like mobile phone chargers from 25 years ago. I use, regularly, 5 different parking apps. Pain in the neck with so many......

Yeh used it a few times, quite handy in and around London, just make sure the location is accurate.

First time I was nervous I’d get back to a ticket, not sure why as I’ve used the app for years without concern!
