### 5/5 — Amazing app works well

*2026-03-02, version 1.15*

Worked amazing was able to reload easily

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2025-10-20, version 1.15*

Crashed.  Took my money.  Still owes me $50.  Stay away from these thieves

### 1/5 — Absolute Scam

*2025-04-19, version 1.15*

Magic Money is a scam. You have to add credits to now wristbands, and you don’t get whatever you don’t spend back. It’s ridiculous

### 1/5 — Can’t get money back

*2024-09-22, version 1.15*

Once you put money on, you can’t take it back.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2024-07-27, version 1.15*

My son went with his friends to a local fair, nobody told him he wouldn’t be able to return the card and get money back if there was any left over. Can’t even find either of the 2 fairs in our area. App says card is invalid when we try to scan it!
So now we’re gonna have to take a road trip and hope we can use the 50 bucks he has left on it so these people don’t get it as an unearned tip!!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-07-26, version 1.15*

Attempted to check the card for the curry county fair, thought I was losing it when it wasn’t listed… until I checked the reviews and seen that many people are having this issue.

### 1/5 — Just get the card or wrist band.

*2024-07-05, version 1.15*

This app is not worth your time, and you still have to pay the convenience fee. Boo.

### 1/5 — Card wouldn’t scan

*2024-07-05, version 1.15*

Downloaded the app. Tried to connect card to it and didn’t scan . Said it was I valid

### 1/5 — Crashes and buggy

*2024-05-18, version 1.15*

Specifying an amount crashes the app. Trying to add a pass to Apple wallet returns an error. Adding more money forces you to spend a package, and you can’t refill at a kiosk presumably because Apple wallet integration is broken.

### 1/5 — Steals your money.

*2024-04-29, version 1.15*

The UI is very shady looking + it steals your money. Beware. This is used at events so better to load you’re tickets on-site than use this all. I’ll be doing a chargeback.
