About this app
SkyCash (branded Skycash Parking on Google Play) is one of the incumbent mobile-payment platforms in Poland, built around the mobiParking street-parking network. Drivers top up an in-app wallet or link a card, then start a session by time, by amount, or via Start/Stop mode; a location- and motion-based Auto Stop feature tries to detect when the car has left and ends billing automatically. Auto Top-Up refills the balance under PLN 10 so sessions are not interrupted. Beyond parking, the app sells public-transport tickets in many cities and, through a paid Comfort+ tier, offers partner discounts on fuel, coffee and car washes. It competes directly with moBIVE, PayByPhone and mPay for the same municipal parking contracts, and coverage varies city by city rather than being nationwide by default.
- Pay for on-street paid parking zones (mobiParking) and private lots
- Three session modes: fixed time, fixed amount, Start/Stop
- Auto Stop: motion/location-based automatic session end (up to 5 min delay)
- Auto Top-Up when wallet balance falls below PLN 10
- Public transport ticket purchase in supported cities
- Lock-screen live status of remaining parking time

Summarised from recent user reviews on Google Play, the App Store and consumer platforms. Themes, not verbatim quotes.
Pros & cons
What we like
- Broad city coverage across Poland for both parking and transit tickets
- Auto Stop and Auto Top-Up reduce the risk of overpaying or forgetting to end a session
- Combines parking payment and public-transport ticketing in one app
- Comfort+ subscription adds fuel/coffee/car-wash partner discounts
What could improve
- Very low current Play Store rating (2.0/5) suggesting significant recent reliability problems
- Auto Stop detection relies on phone motion/location and can be delayed or miss the actual departure
- Wallet top-up and billing complaints are common in reviews (double charges, failed top-ups)
How to use Skycash Parking
- Download the app and create a SkyCash account with phone number/email
- Top up your in-app wallet or link a payment card, and set Auto Top-Up if desired
- At a parking spot, select the zone, enter your plate, and choose a session mode (time, amount, or Start/Stop)
- Let Auto Stop end the session automatically when you drive off, or stop it manually in the app
- Use the same app to buy a public-transport ticket in supported cities
Editor’s tips
- Set Auto Top-Up before you rely on the app in a new city to avoid a session failing mid-park
- Don't fully trust Auto Stop timing near zone boundaries - manually end sessions if you need precision
- Check current Play Store reviews for city-specific billing issues before topping up a large balance
Editor’s verdict
Skycash Parking is a legacy player in the Polish street-parking market, tied to the mobiParking network that many municipalities use, and it bundles transit ticketing on top - a genuinely useful combination if you both drive and take public transport in the same city. The core mechanics (time/amount/Start-Stop sessions, Auto Stop, Auto Top-Up) match what competitors offer. The problem is execution: a 2.0-star Play Store average across nearly 2,000 reviews points to real friction, most likely billing glitches, slow or unreliable Auto Stop detection, and account/top-up issues rather than a fundamentally flawed concept. Coverage is a strength only within Poland - this is not an app for travelers outside the country. For Polish drivers already in a mobiParking city, it remains a functional default, but the rating gap versus rivals like PayByPhone or moBIVE suggests it's worth comparing before committing your parking wallet balance to it.

How it compares
vs moBIVE
moBIVE and SkyCash both run on mobiParking-connected zones across Poland; moBIVE tends to see fewer billing complaints in recent reviews, making it a common alternative in overlapping cities.
vs PayByPhone
PayByPhone is a global operator with broader multi-country coverage and generally higher ratings, but has less Polish transit-ticket integration than SkyCash.
Frequently asked questions
What is SkyCash / Skycash Parking used for?
It is a Polish app for paying on-street parking fees (via the mobiParking network) and private parking lots, plus buying public-transport tickets in many Polish cities.
Does SkyCash work outside Poland?
No, it is focused on Polish municipalities and their mobiParking-connected parking zones and transit systems.
How does Auto Stop work?
It uses your phone's motion and location data to detect when you've driven away and ends the parking session automatically, typically notifying you within about 5 minutes.
Is there a subscription?
There is an optional paid Comfort+ tier that adds partner discounts on fuel, coffee, and car washes on top of standard pay-per-use parking.
Why does the app have a low rating?
Recent Play Store reviews cite billing and top-up issues and inconsistent Auto Stop behavior; the 2.0/5 average reflects real reliability complaints rather than missing features.
