Summary

The mobile app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to its severely poor performance and frequent stability issues. Users consistently report the app being extremely slow to load and respond, often freezing or crashing, especially during critical operations like purchasing tickets or season passes. Key functionalities such as ticket purchase are unreliable, with users experiencing failures, incorrect deductions, or purchased passes not appearing in the app. Furthermore, the user interface is widely criticized for being confusing, unintuitive, and generally providing a poor user experience, compounded by a lack of essential features like Apple Wallet integration and problematic offline access for downloaded tickets. A recent update around October 2025 has exacerbated stability and functionality problems for many users, with some also noting the removal of useful map features.
