It's looks increasingly likely that car parking charges will mainly be via app on smart phone. (Why not direct charge on tap and pay debit/credit card instead of multiple apps beats me!). Currently Smarty don't have a pay by phone option, but do you think they should be looking at extending their add-ons to cover these types of charges?

What I've noticed in my region of England is that local authorities now partner with one or other of the Parking App providers (e.g. RingGo), and have upgraded most pay-and-display ticket machines with a card/contactless reader option for parking fees.

As @Chalkychap says, in most areas I have come across apps like MIPermit where you register a card for payment, so this is not a problem.
