Downloaded this App, it’s now asking 9.99 euros to sign up,is it worth it?

Only you can judge that.

However on the basis that £9.99 would be saved on a single free stopover it doesn’t seem like it’s a difficult judgement.

You can use it without signing up I think ,you get more bang for your buck when you sign up there are people on here who have the app .

Yes I understand that,I was more on about the reliability cos I did see a couple of comments where people couldn’t get it up on their tablets and phones.

As above, you can use it in "free" mode without paying but some location details can only be seen once you've paid up.
Searchforsites is much more insistant that you cough up after a trial period (although the web version is fine).

I've been using it for nearly 3 years and have never had a problem.

Yes

I wouldn't pay for it to many places not shown on on it, OK for free though.

Been using it for years, great app.
It was down for a few days recently, but never had that before.

The website still worked , it just affected the App

Have used it constantly for over two months on our Scandinavia trip. It’s great for planning a direction of travel. If you don’t like the first there will be another close by. I have used the free version for a few years but paid for this trip and pleased I did. It has now greatly improved and is really pushing for responsible PARKING not camping. The number of people getting chairs and tables out has greatly reduced. Unfortunately there are a few idiots who spoil it for the rest of us.
If you want sites I think search for sites is best but for Park-Ups P4N can’t be beaten. For just over £6 it’s worth the support.
We got to rely on it so much that the few days outage recently left us in a bit of a pickle as we had got out of the habit of sniffing places out.

There was an issue with their server recently, affecting everyone, free and paid.

I believe you can download the data and use it offline if you are a paid subscriber.

An excellent app with excellent support. I've used the paid version for years, but I've NEVER been able to get the offline version to work, despite following their instructions to the letter.

The recent outage is the first I've encountered, and it made me realise just how heavily I rely on it. We've used it extensively in just about every country in Europe, and it never fails to deliver. The extensive user comments on each location (with automatic translation) are probably the best feature - so you know exactly what to expect.

 

[cliffanger]

We’ve used the paid version. I think the reviews are only available on the paid version? A wide range of reviews on each site have determined our choice as to which site to stay on, and it hasn’t failed us yet.

You’ll get the fee back on the first couple of sites you choose.

Also the network coverage has been iffy in some areas, so another reason for a paid version.

 

[Barriesimpson]

I think it's brilliant, here in the Canaries at least. I paid with no hesitation. But I have yet to use it in Europe.

 

[Northernraider]

I've used the free version for 7+ years and never had an issue . And I'm fulltime so I probably use it a lot more than the average user.

Cheapskate

 

[jumartoo]

I'm happy (for Martin) to pay. I get it on my devices on the back of his payment. If paying helps them to keep it running smoothly, then it's a no brainer.

We've both now downloaded the Spain/Portugal maps to use offline. You need to pay to do that.

I tried to buy the paid version once but it wouldn't accept the payment. But I've never needed it anyway the free version does everything
