There are multiple parking provides like these, ParkMobile and Yellowbrick being the biggest. I however had once decided to use a smaller one called smsparking.nl. It turned out their app was not really nice to use: it was dead slow and locked up my phone. So, as a side project, I started to build my own parking app, using the API of smsparking.nl.
I reverse-engineerde the API that smsparking.nl used and built an initial version. Gradually I improved upon it, learning more about Android in the meantime. Currently it's pretty feature-complete, even including a map view to easily spot the parking poles.
The project is open source and released on Github under the MIT license.

Waarom noemen jullie het Parkeer Beter, je verwacht dan een NL site maar nee hoor alles in het Engels.
