★★★★ Salvador Ramírez 10/30/2025 v7.8.0
please don't put your card information on this. specially if you buy tickets on flexy pay method. because they do autorenew automatically without autorization even if you cancelled ur contract they don't give your money back.
★★★★ Spidey Webb 10/28/2025 v7.8.0
Location services prompt won't dismiss if "No Thanks" is tapped. The window will just keep reappearing.

★★★★ Orion Hodson 7/3/2025 v7.5.0
This is the app you are expected to install if you want a map of the Universal Studios Hollywood. The app has a partial list of attractions and an unfathomable map that does little to help find attractions. The does not show wait times for the attractions, or showtimes for the shows, for that you need to visit their website. When there is so much effort in the park, why ship an app that ruins the experience? A paper map would be much more readable in bright sunlight and is easy show family.
★★★★ Katy DeFehr 6/30/2025 v7.5.0
to look up anything it tries to take you to the website and gives a 400 error on every link, frustrating! cant even look at menus.
★★★★ Cathy Measel 6/29/2025 v7.5.0
I made an account it won't let me log in says wrong password which it isn't but tried to change it. i got the link it ask for the password. cant do that either
★★★★ Catherine N 6/15/2025
I installed the app, canned the QR code from my email, only to receive the error "signatures do not match". Uninstalled it. Tried again. Same error. Android version 15, pixel 7a.
★★★★ Danh Pham-Dang 6/13/2025 v7.4.0
Cannot purchase ticket, keep displaying error message "An internal Server Error occurred. Please try again later."
★★★★ M 6/4/2025 v7.3.0
The app often fails to load the QR code for the park tickets to actually even get in. It will not let me save a credit card. it keeps requiring an address. While saved, it requires it to be re-entered, but when doing and it gives an error. Doesn't matter, even if it doesn't spit that error it won't actually save it so you can't save the card. So mobile ordering was impossible. The park is mid tier and the experience here is not worth the price. Stay home or go to Disney.
★★★★ DEADCRIME 4/18/2025
Disable annoying geo location prompt
★★★★ Kristina Schwesinger Brown 4/9/2025
Terrible App, terrible place to visit. Extremely overpriced entry fee. wait times are too long, ride times are too short and not well thought out. Studio tour is outdated and boring. I would not recommend this place to anyone
★★★★ MJ Pelayo 4/6/2025 v7.1.0
It won't let me create an account it keeps saying check your email, and if it's correct, try again. So frustrating.
★★★★ Rodney Bravo 4/3/2025
You must turn on notifications to even use this app.
★★★★ Scott Hosner 3/21/2025 v7.1.0
can't add payment info, it says Oops no matter which card I use.
★★★★ K Gonzalez 3/21/2025
Horrible. doesn't save credit card info so I can't mobile order. ridiculous
★★★★ Steve Mosher 3/4/2025
Map feels 20 years out of date, is to clunky and does not show everything
★★★★ Rob Gibson 1/27/2025
Doesn't even show you where restrooms are.
★★★★ B W 1/1/2025 v6.9.0
I should not be forced to turn on my location just to use the app, which is clunky and not useful anyway.
★★★★ Alex 12/28/2024 v6.9.0
Useless app tbh, went for a day to universal studios and downloaded the app to help me on my day trip. Only thing app was good for was to view ride time waits and see the map which didnt help much since rides have a wait time posted outside and the park isn't that big and maps are posted through out the park.
★★★★ Luis Enrique Alvarado 12/27/2024 v6.9.0
This app is extremely bad, does not allow to create an account stating email adress is wrong. I tried 4 different emails from different domains.
★★★★ Hector Alvarez 12/14/2024

★★★★ melissa flores 12/5/2024 v6.8.0
You need it to make reservations, but it doesn't work. Tried to sign in for 2 days and every time there was an issue. I even tried creating a new password and a new profile and nothing worked.
★★★★ Jon Carter 11/30/2024 v6.7.0
Won't let me use the app without turning location on, and the map doesn't show you where the bathrooms are.
★★★★ Stanley G Tarkenton 11/28/2024
Sucks
★★★★ Rory Johnston 11/26/2024 v6.7.0
The ride waiting times on the app are totally dishonest. App said 100 minutes for the mario kart ride at the point when we got in line; in the end, we waited 160 minutes. I'd like my hour back, please
★★★★ Love Music 11/23/2024 v6.7.0
This app is cloned. Please remove all devices from this app.
★★★★ ANDREW JOSEPH “TexasJ” Nierras 11/17/2024 v6.7.0
Trying to add 4 tickets in the app....."Ooops something went wrong. Try again later". Aaannnddd 5 hrs LATER...still nothing. NOTHING WORKS !!
★★★★ Ed Boughton 11/10/2024 v6.7.0
The dumbest app ever created. On my first and only time opening this app it asks 5x for my email telling me good news you have an account already. It asked 5x for my password. It asked to verify my email with a OTC 4x each it said was successful. And other repeatedly ask me to buy tickets it wouldn't let me do anything like plan my trip. Pointless app. Not designed for guests. Designed like a corporate rabbit hole. Disney should be utterly ashamed this was ever released. It doesn't represent wal
★★★★ Not Carlos 10/27/2024 v6.6.3
Most useless app ever. Can't sign in, nothing wants to load!
★★★★ Teelie 10/7/2024 v6.6.3
no mobile order capabilities
★★★★ Alain Bisson 10/6/2024 v6.6.3
Pretty useless. I expected to have times where my kids can meet characters to plan a bit the day. But I'm at the theme park and there's no information on the app
★★★★ Rafael Nunez 10/5/2024 v6.6.3
Horrible, no point in downloading this. Tickets will not Scan.
★★★★ Laura 9/15/2024 v6.5.0

★★★★ Ed Edwards 8/30/2024 v6.5.0
It won't let me sign up at all
★★★★ Sara Marks 8/15/2024 v6.4.0
I downloaded this app a few weeks ago, and I'm still unable to create an account. I keep getting the same error message.
★★★★ Brian Criswell 8/5/2024 v6.4.0
Useless app. Overheats the phone and provides no more user value than the website. Tickets purchased in the app aren't viewable in the app. The tickets are only available via email and then have to be scanned into the app.
★★★★ ingmar l 8/5/2024 v6.4.0
Can't login because it says there isn't an account on my email. Sucks that you need a broken app to use your fast passes.
★★★★ Jim Norris 7/26/2024 v6.4.0
