User Reviews

ParkColumbus is broadly viewed negatively. While some praise the cashless concept, users report widespread payment failures, inability to manage payment methods, plate handling issues, unstable performance, poor zoning/search tools, frequent tickets despite payment, and weak support.
Pros
  • Easy to use and quick to pay with the app.
  • Cashless payments in the app eliminate the need to carry change.
  • The concept is helpful for campus life parking.
Cons
  • Payment management is broken: you cannot edit or remove payment methods, payments can fail or be charged incorrectly, and tickets can be issued after payment.
  • The app crashes or spins frequently, leading to reliability problems.
  • Zone/map/location features are unreliable: zones may not display and searching by location is ineffective.
  • Vehicle/license plate management is brittle: you cannot easily add/switch/delete plates, and the default plate can cause tickets.
  • Ticketing problems and weak support: disputed tickets and unhelpful or slow customer support.

There should be a way to delete the parking session once you leave the parking area. I went to downtown Columbus on a Sunday. Not realizing it was free, I attempted to pay through the app. I went ahead and did the whole process. It was free. But it also created a session on my phone for 12 hours. It would be excellent if I could remove when not needed or wanted.

I was charged for parking on a Sunday, in a zone where parking is free on Sundays because I didn’t know parking on Sundays was free. Instead of displaying a clear message stating “Parking on Sundays is free” or charging $0 like they used to do, they apparently now just charge you for the next business day. So I was charged for Monday 8-10 AM even though my parking session actually took place on Sunday. And then they claim they cannot refund me. Absolutely ludicrous and infuriating. Never using again.

Me and multiple people got tickets on goodale because I guess they require reverse parking in this tiny sliver of road. The app didn’t give any kind of heads up about the need to reverse. Do better.
