Quick summary
Borbalo is a free utility app for iPhone created by KJ Education Ltd that helps drivers handle fines and parking payments. It’s built to keep vehicle owners informed about penalties, simplify on‑street parking payments, and store payment records for easy access.
Core capabilities
- Fast zonal parking payments that can be started in just a few taps.
- Push alerts for newly issued fines, including patrol, video, and parking citations.
- Detailed breakdowns for each penalty (location, exact time, legal article).
- Visual countdowns that show how much time remains before a discount or other deadline expires.
- Reminders for important fine deadlines such as discount end dates and upcoming rate increases.
- The option to buy long-term parking permits for cities such as Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, and Gori.
- Automatic settlement of fines at the most favorable price on the last day of the discount period, plus automatic purchase of parking permits when enabled.
- A yearly archive of all payments and a monthly summary view for quick bookkeeping.
How payments and records are handled
All transactions made through the app are saved to an Archive section and retained for one year. In addition, the Garage screen provides a concise monthly summary of payments and fines that have been settled, making it easier to review spending over time. Automatic Payments can be enabled to ensure fines are paid at the best available rate before deadlines and to handle recurring permit purchases without manual intervention.
Starting a parking session (simple steps)
- Pick the vehicle you want to use from your saved cars.
- Enter the parking spot number or zone identifier.
- Activate the session to begin the payment.
Viewing and managing fines
Tapping any listed penalty opens a full record showing the reason for the fine, the amount due, the exact timestamp, and the statutory article. The app also displays a quick‑glance timer next to penalties so you can see how much time remains until a critical date (for example, the end of a discount period).
User experience and value
Borbalo focuses on clarity and convenience: an intuitive interface, timely reminders, and built‑in payment options aim to reduce missed deadlines and unnecessary penalties. It’s designed for drivers who want a straightforward way to stay organized and compliant.
