10 best parking apps to find a spot and your car! - Android
There are two types of parking apps. The first helps you find a parking spot in a crowded city or town. The second helps you find your car in a large parking area. Thankfully, our list includes both types of apps. Apps like these are especially helpful when you’re in massive areas like cities, amusement parks, malls, shopping centers, and other various areas. Parking is a real pain in most crowded cities most of the time. Hopefully these apps help! Here are the best parking apps for Android!
For the sake of simplicity, we’ve broken this list up into two sections. The first five apps help you find your car and the second set of five apps help you find a parking spot.
Price: Free
Google Maps is a surprisingly decent option to find your car. You can use the app to mark your location as your parking spot and then return to it as needed. Of course, it doubles as a navigation app with all of the features that come with it. The process to save your location as your parking spot isn’t difficult. You can find instructions to do it for Android devices here and iOS devices here.
Price: Free / Up to $5.99
Parkify is a decent option for finding your car. It uses a Bluetooth connection to detect when you walk away from your car and marks your location for future reference. However, you can also manually set the location if the Bluetooth thing doesn’t work for you. It lets you save as many parking spaces as needed and you can even share your car’s location in case you need a friend to get it for you. The reviews tell of some bugs here and there, but nothing too serious.
Price: Free / $6.49
ParKing is another simple, but usually effective parking app. It offers a simple UI, a one-tap save for your parking location, and it can automatically detect your parking spot as well. The automatic detecting is a bit buggy and worked half of the time in our testing. However, my car also has absurd Bluetooth range so that may have been the cause of the issues. Some other features include support for Wear OS, a home screen widget, and it has features for indoor and underground parking as well. The full version is a bit expensive, though.
Price: Free (with ads)
Parked Car Locator is a really simple app that does a simple thing. You pin your location when you get out of your car and then follow the marker back to find your car later. The app has a couple of different map modes, a location history, and it’ll gauge your distance from your car as best as it can. It got it right within 50 meters during our testing and that’s fairly decent compared to some of the low rent parking apps we tested. It’s a free app with ads and it’s really quite simple.
Price: Varies
Hardare is also a solution for those who want to go the hardcore route. Many car manufacturers have apps now, including Chevy, Ford, and others. Many of those apps come with a vehicle locator function in case you lose your parking spot. Additionally, physical GPS trackers are useful for finding your car in parking lots as well. Of course, the main use for them is to find your car if it’s stolen, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it to find parking spots in the meantime. We have FordPass linked, but you can go with basically any of them as long as they have an Android app for phone control.
Price: Free
The Parking Spot is one of many decent parking apps. This one helps you find parking spaces. You can consult a map to find a parking spot in the area you want to go. Additionally, the app lets you make parking reservations, actually pay for them, and get in without any hassle. However, that feature only works on some lots. Some other features include a TPS Shuttle finder and some other neat stuff. There really isn’t much to complain about. It does what it says it does.
