What users say about PayStay
From the 77 most recent Google Play reviews in the US.
Users strongly criticize the app's aggressive monetization tactics, particularly mandatory auto-top-ups and paid SMS notifications that are difficult to disable. While some find the core parking function convenient, many report technical failures, confusing interfaces, and a lack of transparency regarding fees.
Mostly negative (31% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being easy to use, and being useful. The main complaints are about price and subscriptions, and login and account problems.
