### 1/5 — Was great. Won’t load

*2025-06-21*

Was great. Won’t load

### 1/5 — App

*2024-10-07*

It keeps crashing for me every time I try to log in

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately

*2024-07-09*

Is this still a thing?

### 1/5 — As others have stated it just doesn’t work :(

*2024-06-28*

As a pass holder some days I just want to explore while the kids ride.

This app is on all the signage throughout the park but doesn’t work??

### 1/5 — Would Be Great… If It Would Actually Open

*2024-06-08*

All my complaints are ones that have already been stated before; app loads for a second upon opening the app only for the app to crash.

I have to admit, the idea seems interesting. I cannot think of any other parks that have made an app like this. Who doesn’t want to show off to their party with all of their Cedar Point knowledge at the park? Unfortunately, it seems like ever since the most recent update about a year ago, the app has become unusable. I have an iPhone 12, for those curious, so it isn’t a problem with a certain type of phone. Multiple phone types have been reported to not work with the app.

Even worse, it doesn’t seem like there is any bright future for the app in sight. The latest update was a year ago and the newest update before that was two years before the newest update. The update schedule isn’t a problem with all of Cedar Fair’s apps though, as of typing, all of Cedar Fair’s standard park apps were updated two weeks ago which makes it even weirder why the app hasn’t been fixed. I hope that it doesn’t take another year for the app to be properly updated.

As of typing, on June 8, 2024, the app seems to be unusable and thus I cannot rate it any higher than a 1/5. I hope I’m wrong but it doesn’t look like the future for this app is bright for at least a year.

### 3/5 — Crashes - won’t open

*2024-05-07*

This used to be a really neat app, gave you a lot of great history about Cedar Point! Unfortunately, for the last year or so it crashes every time you open it. I have not been able to get it to work at all. I hope someone is Cedar Fair development sees this and works on a fix!  The signs for this app are still up all over the park but when you scan the QR code to open the app, the app just crashes over and over again.

### 1/5 — Wish it worked

*2024-04-04*

Love the idea but every time I open the app it closes immediately. I am hoping they do an update or fix before the park opens for the season.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time I open.

*2024-01-20*

I have an iPhone 15 plus and whenever I open the app, it just tries to load for half a second, then closes out. I think they need an update. I was excited to try it out, but disappointed now.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-10-07*

Click start tour and  immediately crashes

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-12-05*

This is a great app!
