Question 1

What is Parkko?

Accepted Answer

Parkko is a free mobile app that automatically detects when you park and when you leave. It shows real-time parking availability on a map — no buttons, no manual input.

Question 2

How does Parkko know I parked?

Accepted Answer

Parkko uses a combination of GPS, geofencing, and motion sensors on your phone. When you enter a parking zone and stop, the app automatically recognizes that you parked. The same applies when you leave — as soon as you start driving, Parkko registers it.

Question 3

Does Parkko drain my battery?

Accepted Answer

No. Parkko uses geofencing that runs at the operating system level — your phone notifies the app when you enter or leave a zone. We don't continuously track your location. Average consumption is about 1-2% battery per day.

Question 4

Does Parkko work in the background?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parkko detects parking even when your phone is locked or the app is closed. You need to grant "Always Allow" location access for full background functionality.

Question 5

Where does Parkko currently work?

Accepted Answer

Parkko is in its pilot phase and currently covers parts of Belgrade. Coverage expands with every new user. Open the app to see which zones are active in your area.

Question 6

Is Parkko free?

Accepted Answer

Parkko is currently completely free. If a subscription is introduced in the future, the price will be symbolic — parking shouldn't be a luxury.

Question 7

How does Parkko protect my privacy?

Accepted Answer

All detection happens on your device. We only send park/unpark events to the server — never continuous location. We don't sell your data. You can delete your account and all data at any time from the app settings.

Question 8

Which devices does Parkko support?

Accepted Answer

Parkko is currently available for iPhone (iOS). The Android version is in preparation and will be available soon.

Question 9

How do I start using Parkko?

Accepted Answer

Download the app from the App Store, sign in with your Google or Apple account, allow location access and notifications — and that's it. The app works automatically from that moment.

Question 10

How does the availability display work?

Accepted Answer

Every user who parks or leaves automatically updates the zone occupancy data. The more users use Parkko, the more accurate the data. On the map you can see how many spots are available in each zone in real time.

Question 11

Do I need to do anything manually?

Accepted Answer

No. Parkko works fully automatically. Just drive normally — the app recognizes parking and departure on its own. No buttons to press, no data to enter.

Question 12

How do I find where I parked my car?

Accepted Answer

When Parkko detects parking, a yellow car marker appears on the map showing your vehicle's location. You can start navigation to your car with one tap — it opens Google Maps in walking mode.
