Can't add the tickets to the app. What is the point of this app if it doesn't work?
★★★★ Phil Burgess 4/25/2026 v1.248.7
Zero stars. Can't add tickets via barcode. No error but doesn't add. App has been granted all permissions available. After many attempts got tickets added by order ID. Cannot upload a photo from gallery or camera. Again no error, just doesn't work.
★★★★ Anita Ekberg 4/19/2026 v1.248.7
won't work or move past front notifications
★★★★ Stephen Ballinger 4/12/2026 v1.248.7
Fails with no error message when a barcode is scanned when adding tickets to my account. When trying to add by order ID and email it just gives a generic error despite the details being correct as per the email I was sent.
★★★★ I. Vidic 4/10/2026 v1.248.2
Please fix this app its not working on Android
★★★★ Waleed Miriau 4/7/2026 v1.248.7
won't upload photos. won't load tickets. won't scan barcode. overall a useless app. amazed that there are multiple people having the same issue for over 4years now and it seems nothing has been fixed.
★★★★ Daniel Duong 4/2/2026 v1.248.7
The app isn't working. I can't add tickets via scanning the barcode or manual entry. I'm surprised the app still has 4 stars despite all the 1 star reviews
★★★★ Anthony C 3/21/2026 v1.248.7
iPhone app works 10 times better than this Android rubbish. I have both phones and all tickets I bought on the website show up automatically on the iPhone app home page. It also has a better design UI. This android app is like the other world. Poor design like a high school project, and the simplest basic doesn't even work - just show me the bloody tickets! Whoever developed this should get fired!
★★★★ Steve H 3/21/2026 v1.248.7
constantly doesnt work, show times not displayed, says rides are closed when theyre not, underestimates wait times significantly, been waiting over 1hr when it said 10min....useless
★★★★ Sam Hogan 3/15/2026 v1.248.7
Terrible UX - couldn't add a photo to my account and no error message or info as to why. tickets also wouldn't add for a few hours and again - no obvious error messages either
★★★★ -- 1/25/2026 v1.248.6
absolutely ridiculous. never worked. $560 wasted on two tix for fast passes that crashed all day... Will never go to Movie World again. Dreamworld had a simple armband for their fast pass.... simple!
★★★★ Naomi Hill 1/17/2026 v1.248.6
Could be a great app, but as many have mentioned for yrs prior to me trying. The app will not let you add your photo to the pass. Seems like this should have been a simple fix for any IT team, however the village theme parks team have ignored its customers feedback and concerns.
★★★★ AS 1/14/2026
Atrocious, buggy, trash. I'm trying to purchase tickets and the requirement is to upload a mugshot, but it crashes and sends you back to repeat the entire process. For a joint who wants to charge me $1,000 for a 5 day pass for myself, my wife and 3 kids under 6, this is totally unacceptable. This will be the last time I will attend this joke of a scampark.
★★★★ Cosmos M54B30TS 1/12/2026 v1.248.6
does not open.
★★★★ Peter Donkin 1/6/2026 v1.248.6
it just goes to a suggestion page that you can't navigate away from. downloaded it and tried it three times now.
★★★★ Jen Neen 12/18/2025 v1.248.6
Photo pass; sorry but I was unable to work out how to get any photos so far. For $65, it would be nice to have the memories we paid for, for example, one print of our group at each Park included. Luckily we took a couple of photos on our phones for free, if we trusted you, we wouldn't have any memories of today. It looks like there's 2 photos of one person in our group that will be able to retrieved but none of those who can't go on the thrill rides.
★★★★ Christian Kelly 12/11/2025
Useless, couldn't add my existing annual pass either by order number or pass bar code.
★★★★ Stuart Allen 11/30/2025 v1.248.6
Useless, won't allow me to add tickets to the app through any of the methods, scanning, manually entering barcode or order number. Useless!
★★★★ Kerri Young 11/30/2025 v1.248.6
Could be a great app, but it won't save required photos uploaded for each ticket.
★★★★ Glenn Shipman 11/28/2025 v1.248.6
rubbish app can't even add my ticket to it
★★★★ COLIN ROGERS 11/11/2025 v1.248.6

★★★★ Jodie Cartwright 10/1/2025 v1.248.6

★★★★ Amber Ricketts 9/27/2025 v1.248.6

★★★★ Utpal Dhar 9/24/2025 v1.248.6
third class app in this earth
★★★★ Stephen Thomas 9/19/2025 v1.248.6
wait times fluctuates between unavailable because it thinks you are not in the park, and 1+ hour error, do not make and decisions based on them!
★★★★ Marcelle Reukers 9/12/2025
All passes have disappeared from the app. Unable to add them back on, even after removing the app and installing again.
★★★★ Andrew McEnirney 9/8/2025 v1.248.6
Have tried to add the tickets I purchased, regardless of the method tried (barcode or order number) all I get is an error message telling me there is a problem adding my ticket. Completely pointless.
★★★★ Chris Pidcock 8/11/2025 v1.248.3
not a well pit together app. information is never where it needs to be. too many actions to do anything.
★★★★ Richard Saunders 8/10/2025 v1.248.3
What is the point. I logged into my account online and bought tickets but log into my account on this useless app and I have to add tickets? Then it says an error occurs adding by order confirmation number and wants me to scan the barcodes. So I have to log into my account on the computer and print the tickets then log Into the app and scan all the tickets. This is IDIOTIC!
★★★★ Karen Kelb 8/3/2025 v1.248.3

★★★★ T N 7/4/2025 v1.248.3
What kind of app is this? tried to scan my tickets and also trying manually to add my purchased tickets. Scanning doesn't do anything and adding manually says it can't find my ticket? What gives? purpose of this app for me is to upload me a d my family's mugshots, doesn't work.
★★★★ Karen Welsh 6/24/2025 v1.248.3
When I open the app on my phone, "Pro tips to maximise your app experience" opens and can't go any further with the app Is it necessary to have the app while at the theme parks?
★★★★ Michael Cjepa 5/16/2025 v1.248.2
I downloaded the app and it's frozen up I can't do anything? purchased a annual pass and can't excess it ,need help
★★★★ Derrick Orchison 4/26/2025 v1.248.2
terrible app to use on site, slow, freezing and could get past the first page after uninstalling and reinstalling. don't rely on this for the great day out.
★★★★ psyc d 4/22/2025 v1.248.2
Terrible glitchy app says it's added my tickets but then they don't show up
★★★★ Lyn Butler 4/22/2025 v1.248.2
does not add your ticket details to the app.....
★★★★ Mark Drover 4/21/2025 v1.248.2
terrible to add tickets
★★★★ B Yarrow 4/6/2025 v1.248.2
just purchased the annual pass for $250. Cannot add photos. Can't get through the front gate without photos. Fix the app so I can upload my photo. Not happy.
★★★★ Pawan Gupta 4/3/2025 v1.248.2
I kept adding my tickets but the app just won't show. that's the first feature you want from the app and it doesn't work
★★★★ Mark Carolan 3/21/2025 v1.248.2
Absolute shocker on both Android and iOS. Seems like it's never been tested. Purchase links are broken, but It locks up in many other places, so it's not one single bug. I can't imagine how many sales are lost from people wrestling with purchasing or renewing passes with this rubbish. Do it by phone instead. That works fine.
★★★★ Karunesh Kumar 2/1/2025 v1.248.2
Bought annual passes online. While signing up they ask for each individuals email address and other details but there was no email notification sent to any pass holder. Also, the passes do not get added to the app. Very frustrating!
★★★★ Aisha S 1/25/2025 v1.248.2
really hard to use
★★★★ Felicity 1/25/2025 v1.248.2
Ride wait times not reflective of app. App says 5min wait but been waiting for over 30mins and still not at the front of queue
