Why the bad reviews?. I think this app is simple and easy to use. Most parking apps require you to make an account and add your vehicle for future parking, so not sure why people are upset about that. I think if they wanted to improve it, maybe prompt a pop up to add a vehicle and payment when you sign up or sign in if you have not done so. This avoids the hassle later if you are new. But overall, the app is super simple and user friendly. Great user experience and is not over complicated to use.

I can’t delete or add a credit card?!?!. I really like paying for parking on the app and not needing to have change on me. What I don’t like is you are only allowed to enter two credit cards and it is virtually impossible to remove or add cards once you have two on the app. I have several reasons I park- personal, work, and my small business. I like to keep those charges on different accounts, so a limit of two cards is a problem. Also, I had to cancel my whole account and start a new one in order to remove a card and upload another one. If there is a simple way to change a card out on the app, it is not intuitive.

The worst. Not only did this app make paying for parking a convoluted nightmare, I didn’t even park because it wants me to give them my card information. I think not. Then I go to ask them to cancel my account and they want even more info than they wanted to open it. A joke. Not that I had much reason to park downtown anyway, but I definitely won’t be now. Why the heck are we playing Guinea pigs to your stupid idea of an “easier” way to pay. Jesus, my quarters worked just fine.

awful. what’s the point in entering our plate & info when the meter maids don’t bother to check and will write tickets based on 1/5 of your bumper being “over the line”. When parking streets typically get filled in from front to back… so if everyone is off by an inch there is no choice. also, inconvenient to adjust time

Won’t let me add a payment method. App is useless without a payment method and it won’t allow me to add one. Tried uninstalling and re adding but still get an error. Tried logging out and creating a new account but it says network error

Beans. Beans

ParkDSM is trash. Hot. Garbage. The app rarely works. It regularly deletes my car and payment method. Today I’m trying to add my car and payment method back and it won’t accept either. Using a payment app should be easy, not a PIA. Would gladly take the old meter system back at this point.

Doesn’t work at all. Literally can’t create a password that this app will accept. I removed special characters and followed all of the advertised requirements, but it doesn’t work. It also can’t find any parking spots in the DSM area (but lots in other cities!). A one star review seems too charitable.

Ap. Can’t get it downloaded/installed.. trying for hours.. how do I do it?

Literally useless. I’m standing next to a parking space, which the app can’t find by my location, and searching by zone number produced results that covered literally 2000 miles but not the street or even city in which I stood before my parked vehicle. Literally completely and utterly useless.

Garbage. Total garbage. Do better.

Inconvenience and not smooth. Clunky and dumb app. Either tells you that the spot is not open or cancels it.

DON’T USE, IT WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. I originally purchased a 2 hour time slot. I was only parked for 45 min, but thought someone else could use the time if they wanted to. After driving home, I checked to see if the time had run out, but there was still over 2 hours and thought funny. It wasn’t until later in the evening when it still said I had 2 hours left that I knew something was going on. I checked my email and the stupid app kept charging me for parking! There was no way to stop the meter until it ran out of time, but the app kept adding time and charging me for it without my consent. I had to turn off the card I was using for it to hopefully stop.

I can park in Minneapolis but not DSM. Our city seems incapable of simply setting up an app that allows you to pay through your phone or even see spots that are allegedly up and running. I hope that this problem is known but based off of the local news reports, it seems the city thinks that everything is great. I can tell you from trying this many times over a long period of time, everything is not great. That is, unless you want to park literally anywhere but DSM.

Annoying app at best. Required to sign in No Apple Pay Clunky operation No way to cancel your parking if leaving early so the app continues to annoy

Hassle. This app is more hassle than it’s worth, why on earth do I have to enter my license plate details and create an account with all I want to do is pay for a parking space? The only reason I downloaded this is because half of the parking pay stations don’t work only to be met by a very difficult to use app with complicated password requirements, a mandatory account creation, requiring details of my vehicle when all I want to do is pay for a parking space. I think I’ll risk getting a ticket instead.

Unfriendly App. Poor parking experience.. Had to call customer service to just to learn how to delete a payment card before adding a new card. Although Apple Pay is shown as an payment option, apparently it is not an option in my city (so hide it or allow it). FYI - payment cards can be deleted by swiping left and customer service can be reached at 877-727-5457. Apparently, you can text ‘Park’ to 77223 to pay for parking. I wish my city, Des Moines, would look at the awful app ratings and leverage ParkMobile to up their game. Then, maybe, I wouldn’t have to stand in inclement weather at a parking payment kiosk.

Great base, no spots show. As title says, app is easy to navigate and resembles ParkMSP identically. No spots show up available, but hopeful this updates as locations are added.

Setup slow. What a pain for the initial install. Awful

Can’t find history. My history stopped showing for parked cars. This means if I miss extending while the parking meter is active then I can’t find the spot and renew my spot. As of today July 6 the last history showing is for June 24th. I parked and renewed 3 times today and none of them showed.

Garbage. Can’t add a card. What a heap of $€!t

Can’t delete or change credit card. Interesting somebody reported this issue on January (11 months ago) and issue hasn’t been resolved. How come?

App is ok setup is inconvenient. Would be nice if setup was a little bit speedier. Not convenient for the initial install. Password requirements were a little odd. Hopeful it will go more smoothly now that the initial steps are done.

Can’t change my credit.. Love the ease of paying for my parking, but unable to delete out my expired credit card. There is no reason I shouldn’t be able to manage my own payments!

Can't add a card. Apple Pay was set as the default payment, but whenever I tried to pay for a parking, it would say payment method not supported. I tried to add a credit card too, even tried it with two different cards, none of it worked. It just said that it had trouble adding card. What is the point of this app if I can't pay for parking? Turned to download the other parking app which works completely fine.

Love this app - don’t listen to past reviews. I don’t normally write reviews, but I was SUPER confused why people were rating this app so low. It’s awesome and super convenient. You can add the minimum amount of time and then tell the app to give you a reminder of __(you can choose)__ mins before your time expires. Then, if you’re still waiting wherever you are (like in a long lineup in a waiting room), you can add more time in small increments. There’s even a nice countdown timer on your Lock Screen (at least on an iPhone 13) that tells you how much time is left. Looking through the reviews, it sounds like most of the issues happened over a year ago and many are certainly fixed now (e.g. no history - they now have a convenient history tab right in plain sight). The other main issue seems to be that people don’t like to have to sign up for an account to park there once. That’s to be expected from designated parking spots run through an app, so I don’t see it as an issue. The one thing that I would say could be improved is if they had the ability to cancel the remaining time in the spot if you put in too much time so that other people could use the spot. I didn’t realize when first using the app that it had the really convenient feature of reminding you when your time was up so that you could add more time, so I put 3 hours on the spot and then ended up leaving after about 30 mins, which locked my spot for 2h30 mins, and I couldn’t end my time there. I’m not saying that I should be reimbursed for the time because it was my bad, but it would have been nice to free up the space for anyone else to use it (I’m presuming that the space is locked to my car given that the time is attached to my specific car in that spot). Anyway, it’s a really nice app, highly recommend. I sound like I work for the developers with this review, but I can assure you that I don’t lol. Hope this helps.

Although it's called Park DSM, no DSM spots show up. Can't manage to use this at all, search doesn't show the DSM spots either by number or location. Useless.

Password issues. Evidently of all the many requirements for your password, one is the it *cannot* contain (or at least start with) a parenthesis symbol which took me a while to figure out. Otherwise it seems to work ok.

Garbage. This app is garbage. Tried using it to Park on the street around Wells Fargo Arena. Every payment method you try to use it will decline, and then for fun it will suspend your account. All while price gouging on parking at any parking ramp within any usable distance. Decided it was not worth going to the event.

Broken app. App does not work at all. Payments freeze up. Needs rebuilt.

App is terrible. The app updates all the time and doesn’t save payment information. Couldn’t remember my password and tried to reset it. Reset email never arrived. Tried to delete and reinstall the app. Still didn’t work. Total garbage.

Horrible app. This app is way more complicated than it should be. Why can I not just pay with my phone. Why can i not scan the spot i am in to pay. So many issues that it makes me want to avoid coming downtown

Worst app. This is the only app where I’ve tried the email verification 20x already and it still tells me I gave the wrong code. 😤😤😤
