About this app
admyt replaces the boom-gate ticket machine at partner malls and retail centres in South Africa with number-plate recognition: cameras read the plate on entry, the driver links that plate to the app, and payment for time parked is settled automatically or in-app before exit, letting the boom lift without stopping to insert or scan anything. The app targets shoppers at large urban malls in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal who want to skip ticket kiosks and cash queues. Coverage is limited to sites that have installed admyt's LPR hardware, so usefulness is tied entirely to which specific malls a user frequents rather than blanket city-wide street parking.

Pros & cons
What we like
- Genuinely ticketless, contactless experience at supported malls
- Fast entry/exit thanks to plate recognition instead of ticket machines
- Simple one-time setup of plate and card
- Removes need to find/keep a paper ticket during a shopping trip
What could improve
- Only works at specific partner malls with installed camera hardware, not general street or city parking
- Users report occasional double-charges or failed plate reads requiring manual gate assistance
- Small footprint means most South African cities and most parking areas are unsupported
How to use admyt
- Download admyt and create an account
- Add your vehicle's license plate and a payment card
- Drive into a participating mall car park; the LPR camera reads your plate on entry
- Shop as normal — no ticket to keep
- On exit, payment for time parked is charged automatically via the app and the boom lifts
Editor’s tips
- Confirm your regular mall actually has admyt LPR gates installed before relying on it — coverage is site-specific
- Keep your card details current in-app to avoid failed auto-charges at exit
- Note down the mall's manual/intercom fallback in case of a misread plate
Editor’s verdict
admyt solves a real, narrow problem: the friction of paper parking tickets at big shopping malls. Where it is installed, the experience is close to seamless — drive in, shop, drive out, get charged automatically. That is its strength and its ceiling. This is not a city-wide parking app; it is a site-specific replacement for ticket machines, so its value depends entirely on whether the malls a user actually visits have adopted the hardware. Store reviews sit in solid-but-not-exceptional territory, with recurring complaints about mischarges, camera misreads, and the awkwardness of exceptions (lost network, camera failure) forcing manual intervention at the boom. For someone who regularly visits an admyt-enabled mall it is a genuine convenience upgrade; for anyone outside that footprint, or for street/on-street parking, the app is irrelevant. Coverage growth into more malls and cities, plus more robust fallback handling, would be the natural next step for the product.

How it compares
vs Traditional mall ticket machines
admyt is faster and more convenient where installed, removing the need for a physical ticket, but only works at sites that adopted the hardware.
vs City-wide parking apps (e.g. street-parking payment apps)
admyt is not a street-parking app; it is narrowly scoped to specific mall garages, so it complements rather than replaces city-wide parking apps.
Frequently asked questions
What is admyt?
A South African app that uses license-plate recognition to let drivers enter and exit participating mall car parks without a paper ticket, paying automatically through the app.
Which cities does admyt work in?
It is available at select shopping centres in South African metros such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria — coverage is limited to individual sites with the camera hardware installed, not city-wide.
Do I need a ticket at admyt-enabled malls?
No. Entry and exit are handled by cameras reading your license plate; you don't take or keep a paper ticket.
How does payment work?
You link a card to your account in the app; the parking fee for your session is charged automatically when you exit.
Is admyt free to download?
Yes, the app itself is free; you only pay the mall's normal parking tariff for time parked.
What if the camera fails to read my plate?
Most partner sites keep an intercom or manual override at the boom for exceptions, though this can cause delays according to some user reviews.
About the developer
admyt is a South African parking-technology company that builds license-plate-recognition (LPR) systems for shopping centres and other high-traffic car parks, aiming to remove ticket machines and manual payment kiosks from the mall parking experience. It positions itself as an infrastructure and software provider to mall operators rather than a consumer-facing marketplace, with the app serving as the driver-side interface to its camera and billing system. Public information on funding, founding year and headquarters is limited.
