RingGo - The UK Pay by Phone Parking App Reviews 2,077

Tried using RingGo and spent a delightful few minutes playing “find the car park”. Eventually managed to start a session and was greeted by a cheerful little timer counting down, reassuring me all... See more

I was already in a stressful situation and needed to park urgently, but RingGo just made it worse. I didn’t have coins for the machine, so the only way to pay was through the app. I already had RingGo... See more

Bit of a parking trap app. Each time I've used this it has let me down, leading to risking a parking ticket. First time there was no Mobile reception near the meter - yet it was the only means o... See more

I couldn’t have orchestrated a worse parking experience if I had set out to design one. What a disaster from start to finish! RingGo should never be the only option to pay for parking by card in this... See more

When their app glitched and stopped working on my phone, I found out that there’s no customer support whatsoever. The incompetent numpties in the chat could only suggest turning phone on and off - a... See more

Don't use them! This is my experience. The machine doesn't work, so you go online to register for the app, which also doesn't work. They then take £66 out of your account, and you still don't get to p... See more

Really buggy. Tried to delete account and start again, would not work. Took around 20 mins just to pay £3 to park. Dreadful company using their monopoly to excuse any sort of investment in custom... See more

Awful app. If I could give it zero stars I would. The app doesn’t work and always says there is an error when logging in. The website doesn’t the same. Why a business or university would use RingGo is... See more

This app needs to be shutdown. Our first experience with it in Ross ended with our bank card being frozen and payment was made to a book store in Cyprus go figure. Yesterday we were at swallow fall ca... See more

I have been trying to register/log in - everything i do gets rejected or is invalid - why do people in business create barriers to their services? Why do other organisations farm parking out to a a us... See more

Bloody awful, can’t create an account because I already have one, can’t reset password as it tries to email my mobile number. Also 20p (in)convenience fee. The owner should have unthinkable things hap... See more

This app is absolutely terrible. It’s supposed to make parking easier, but instead it’s the complete opposite. Nothing about it is simple — the layout is confusing, and it takes forever to get anythin... See more

You can't create accounts, you can't upload proof of evidence, if you click "remember this device", it will never let you log in again. A 5 year old could build a more functioning website.

In the UK for six weeks and almost everywhere you need this app to pay for parking. Possibly great if you live here but if not you are out of luck as the App Store knows I’m not local and won’t let m... See more

I went to West Hill car park in Bournemouth now taken over from Ring go car parking. Absolutely rubbish I phoned them and operator sent me a text with wrong reg put a spelling error on the last digit... See more

App doesn't function properly , keeps telling me my address in incorrect. Very difficult to upload documents. Ended up going to council in person to get a visitors parking permit and so far the wait h... See more

Absolutely hopeless so-called AI Chatbot. Extreme;y frustrating time going round and round on the apptrying to get logged in. Finally "chatted" to someone who also failed to sort out the problem. Am b... See more

I actively avoid anywhere that only uses ringo to pay for parking. I was advised my account was deactivated due to non use but had no choice but to use today, or attempt to use. Went round in circles... See more

Took us forever to create a profile as it kept taking me back a page over and over. Didn't accept my email address but it's one I've had for years and every other site/app is fine with it! Ended up av... See more

Paid to park in a council car park for 1 hour. No reminder appeared to extend my stay if needed. Then suddenly it booted me out of app, asked to verify several times, then change password, still d... See more

I honestly don’t know how Ringo is still operating. I tried to sign up for an account, but apparently I already had one. Fine, I tried to reset my password. They wouldn’t send me a code. When a co... See more

Unuseable. Reset password doesn't work, then refuses to reset again as text message and emails not received to reset the password. As an example of how bad they are, the APP states the 6 digit ve... See more

A diabolical, frustrating experience. Registering kept disallowing entries and then saying I was already registered and then closing entries after too many attempts. They should not be given account... See more

This company is an absolute scam. Trying as we speak to register for the app. Ring Go doesn’t send verification emails or sms codes like it says will. Their objective is to fine you. It doesn’t w... See more

If it were possible to rate 0 stars I would. Tried to pay for parking at a Forestry England site. Verifications codes didn't work, so phoned the telephone number. Voice recognition doesn't work on tha... See more

Absolutely furious that this company sells space on their download page to a scam company Estiviron. Downloaded Ringo app 2 weeks ago and when clicked on the 'continue' button was led to a page that... See more

Absoulute shit show parked for 10 mins wene realised ringo so i left the carpark Did the QR code on way out wanted to pay what was due for 10 mins but QR stated £18.00 for the day i tried querrien... See more

If you can avoid using it, please do it. They don't have customer support. No phone number, noting. They have live chat where you can speak to both or agent. However, I think even the homan agents... See more

I parked in scarborough north Yorkshire parking fee £ 6 for 3 hours ok fine found out I wasn't going to get back to car on time so decided to extend time on ringo app great I thought minimum time to... See more

This rubbish system only received one star as I couldn't give it none. I entered my details four times exactly the same and all correct no mistakes. This app just kept repeatedly saying enter my detai... See more

The record speaks for itself, this operating model should be illegal. Like 1000s of others I forgot to go back into the app and stop parking as was charged more than 8x what I should have paid. To mak... See more

The car park reference number displayed where I parked my car was not recognised on the Ringo system : I phoned Ringo & they gave me an incorrect car park number : I have therefore paid for a day... See more

There is no one talk to when the app bills immediately at the start of parking £15:48 for a one hour 15 minute stay in wandsworth. When I try to use the chatbot it doesn't understand me! When I queue... See more

Out of the plethora of parking apps being forced on us, RingGo is by far the worst and most frustrating. Not only is it abysmal to use, it appears to have been designed to be as difficult as possible... See more

overcharged by £12 paying for a friends parking outside my house. I received a text from them saying I was being charged a sum just uner £3. My CC says£15 today. Trying to rectify this.. sent an ema... See more

I still have not managed to log in after so many attempts. We went to Epping Forrest for the first time yesrerdat and were at the point of coming home when a lovely man offered to use his log in. My t... See more

The app works well most of the time. But the company completely fails at customer service and compassion towards customers. If you pay twice by mistake, you won't get a refund. There's no one t... See more

Attempted to install and use the App for the first time on Saturday. Along with many other people parking system installed by BCP Council does work and was never tested.

Literally cannot register; receives an error partway through the process, tells me to retry, warns me of my rapidly diminishing SMS requests that are in fact just a swathe of verification codes becaus... See more

I hate the start stop thing I always forget it and end up being overcharged. Total ripoff should turn off automatically based on car moving

We were wondering why the usually full carpark was now virtually empty when we, ourselves tried to use the now only by app payment they've introduced. Ringo run the payment for this par... See more

Awful app. Can't log in, can't reset password and it won't remove my old details to try log in again

Never !!! In remote Scotland the Council have made the limited car parking RingGo . No surprise that they are largely empty and the ANPR CCTV etc are a waste of money. Which numpty decided to do this... See more

Myringgo is dreadful. The other pay parking by phone apps are way better. I’ve had issues every time I’ve used it. Once it wouldn’t accept my c/card and said it was invalid. Then it wouldn’t accept a... See more

Parked outside Berkshire Royal Hospital and paid the Ringo fee. Within minutes our card was compromised and funds taken. My card company were hot on the case and they stopped further fraud. Every time... See more

The app sometimes doesn'toesn't work. In such case if you don't have your bank card for telephone payment, you only have to go home as there is no other solution. I have also noticed that Ringo alwa... See more

Machines don't take cash so forced to use Ringo Phoning doesn't work forced to down load app now think it's a scam app Awful company local authorities should ditch them .

This service is terrible. The app doesn’t work – I tried registering and resetting my password but never received any code or email. At Saxon Square, cash is not a real option either: I had to pay £2... See more
