You cannot load less than $25. Stupid! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-04-22, version 1.13* Would not scan or accept code on band. ### 1/5 — Apple Pay wouldn’t work *2022-12-04, version 1.13* Apple Pay wouldn’t work. Did not want to get her a credit card in an app like this, especially with so many reviews about fraud. Need a safe way to reload it without having to stand in twice, once to reload the card and then again to get what you actually want. Guy (that answers phone with “hello” and not a business name) said it varies by event. The event has to allow or sign up for it. Didn’t sound right to me. I think they’re just trying to force me to enter my credit card information, which I will not do. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Really crappy app *2022-09-11, version 1.12* Caused fraud alerts when trying to reload via credit card and locked my credit card for 24 hours. Terrible user interface and very difficult to find correct location. ### 1/5 — Can’t view remaining card balance *2022-08-29, version 1.12* Or contact support to find out how much money I have left on my prepaid amusement cards. QR scan codes will not work, they just lead to a dead link. Be careful how much you add to your card when at their carnivals, use up all of your $$$!!! ### 1/5 — Stupid *2022-04-25, version 1.9* I was using a magic money digital credit card I loaded 15 bucks onto it and it didn’t not register even after I pressed done and I still had the same balance before so when I tried to get on a ride at a terrell anual jubilee I couldn’t cause I had insufficient funds only reason I got on the ride was because I was with one of my friends and they paid for my ride with there card now I’m at a loss of 35$ for only 10 credits and 1 credit is 1 dollar ### 1/5 — Stupid *2022-04-23, version 1.9* This is horrible this was my only position at the jubilee here in my town and I can’t even see how much I’m using cause the app doesn’t show me it doesn’t even have our event listed on it so when you get this card you don’t even know what ur spending not cool just miss the old fashion tickets way ### 1/5 — Zero Customer support *2022-04-12, version 1.9* Reached out to customer support twice. No response. The app crashed while using it and would not work, there was still money on my card and we ended up having to buy more tickets at the fair. Apple needs to take this app down. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t show my city’s event *2022-04-09, version 1.9* The only places I am able to choose from are all in California or Arizona. I’m in Texas and it doesn’t not let me search for our carnival. ### 1/5 — Not functional! *2022-03-23, version 1.9* I keep trying to login to the app & once logged in, there’s no place to scan the cards to see how many credits I have. This app is useless! ### 1/5 — Apple Wallet Function does NOT work. *2021-12-03, version 1.9* “Pass error” “the pass file does not exist” appears every time I try to add it to my Apple wallet. It used to move in the past. Very annoying as it used to work. ### 1/5 — Astroworld magic money *2021-11-09, version 1.9* I can’t find anyway to get to customer service, contact us, anything to ask for a refund on the magic money I purchased before the show and didn’t even use them cuz the show got cancelled. How do I get my money back? ### 1/5 — What a Rip-off *2021-09-09, version 1.9* How do I redeem the money left on my card? I downloaded the app, but there is no way to scan the QR code. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2021-08-03, version 1.9* Convenient? Yes. But the fair is now over and I still have a bunch of credits. Every time I tap report issue (to even ask for a refund for my unspent credits) the app crashes. ### 1/5 — Steal money *2021-06-13, version 1.8* I buy 40 credit an only use 10, next day the credit has gone literally stole my money, no customer service no contact ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — App no longer works. *2024-03-09, version 1.15* I feel like I’m going crazy. Trying to use for rodeo Austin. The website says can use the app. Tried using cards from last year but get invalid barcode. Says to use the drop down to select rodeo Austin. It’s not listed. There is a rodeo Austin but the app shows it 1600 miles away in nj. This whole magic money is a joke and I can’t understand why they keep using such a bad platform. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app works well *2026-03-02, version 1.15* Worked amazing was able to reload easily ### 5/5 — Works but it is limited *2023-03-28, version 1.13* Works great as a tool to add credits to a wristband that you bought at the fair. ### 5/5 — Great way to pay *2021-06-04, version 1.8* Wish I could use this everywhere! ### 5/5 — Great update! *2021-06-04, version 1.8* Thank you for making these updates. ### 5/5 — Super useful! *2021-06-04, version 1.8* Kind of like what they have at Disney, but at my local fair. I loved it and so did the kinda. No more handing the kids lost $20s. ### 5/5 — Great app!!!! *2021-06-04, version 1.8* It’s awesome app and also easy to use. ### 5/5 — Makes things so much easier! *2021-06-04, version 1.8* Loving the system.
