User Reviews

ParkDSM reviews are largely negative. The most recurring problems are payment failures (Apple Pay/PayPal/cards not working or not saving), a nonfunctional locate-me feature, and widespread instability (crashes, API issues, logouts). The payment flow is slow and multi-step, and users report privacy/data-entry burdens and hard-to-delete accounts. While a minority found it easy to use and appreciated broader payment options in the past, reliability and usability have degraded, with many preferring kiosks or other apps for parking.
Pros
  • Easy to use and straightforward interface (praised in multiple reviews).
  • Some reviewers report it worked reliably for years and was easy to use before recent issues.
  • Advertises support for multiple payment methods (Apple Pay, PayPal, and cards).
Cons
  • Payment methods do not work or cannot be saved/updated (Apple Pay, PayPal, cards).
  • Locate Me/meter location feature is non-functional or useless.
  • Frequent instability and glitches (API crashes, network errors, account lockouts/logouts).
  • Cumbersome, multi-step payment flow requiring lengthy setup (login, vehicle entry, etc.).
  • Privacy concerns and difficulty deleting or changing account data.

Why use this when it charges you more than standard rate AND charges a “platform fee” for using the app? In person, parking might cost $1, but in the app it’s $1.50. A 50% increase for a service that should just be free for tax payers. Ridiculous.

I needed to change a payment method. And there was a “add payment” option, but it wouldn’t let you add a new CC. It only allowed you to set up a mobile wallet and put money in it. Since I don’t use the app much this is not a good option.
