We had so much fun and lots to see. We will definitely do it again next year. **Developer response:** Hello Beautiful granddaughter! That's amazing to hear! We are glad to have been a part of this excellent trip with your family. We wish you all the best! Warm regards, Go City - JT ### 1/5 — Stop asking me for ratings *2022-12-06, version 6.6.18* I just downloaded this app minutes ago and it’s already asking me for a rating so I guess one star ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-10-06, version 6.6.15* Tried to reserve tickets. Directed me to another website which wouldn’t let me reserve them. What a waste of money and time. Got no response from either company. ### 5/5 — Trustworthy App, Glad I Found This For My Trip *2022-09-23, version 6.6.14* I am seriously so glad I used this app instead of another website! If you’re currently looking to buy a pass to go to New York and you want more options for attracting , this is IT! I bought my pass for $220, no problems getting in anywhere, and thankfully with a well planned 3 day itinerary, I saved $170 using this pass instead of paying for attractions individually. This pass allows you to go to an attraction MORE THAN ONCE! I would absolutely use this app again and recommend it to others! ### 1/5 — Nothing but trouble *2022-07-11, version 6.6.14* I paid for this pass through a travel agent. But it is not allowing me to make any reservations in the app or in my email. This a a rip off total trash. I have to spend my visit here just walking around and winging it. ### 1/5 — Great idea, inconsistent execution *2022-03-17, version 6.6.13* The pass is a brilliant and worthwhile thing to use. However, the app and process isn’t streamlined. The app takes you to each vendors website, finding where to reserve using your pass is a hassle and different for every vendor. Some vendors are “first come, first serve” reservations. There were no clear indications for how each vendor wanted the pass to be used. ### 2/5 — Make sure before buying this the attraction locations and services are up to date *2022-02-10, version 6.6.13* While I’m writing this review I am currently in New York City and I just spent half of my afternoon going up and down to places and attractions that their closing time and services were not up-to-date with this app or pass, meaning for an example locations and attractions closing earlier and or not accepting this pass. If you go to google maps they give you the right clothes in time meaning that you have to check twice and plan twice the itinerary of your trip and the sad part is that mistakes like this that they’re not our fault as customers it is not our job to update this app we don’t get a refund for mistakes or updates. ### 1/5 — Nice App - Terrible Company *2022-01-30, version 6.6.13* The app seems to work very well and would have loved to use it; however, the company that runs the app is not your friend. My family was planning a wonderful trip to NYC just before COVID hit the US. When NYC shut down, this company did extend the dates the tickets covered but the problem is that they would agree to a refund. Additionally, the company has not extended further the passes despite NYC really not opening back up until after our passes expired!!! Their customer service, when they actual do answer the phone, is of no help either!! Just stay away from the company. It is not worth loosing your precious hard earned money over. ### 5/5 — Great way to see the city! *2021-12-14, version 6.6.13* This was my first visit to NYC and I found the New York Pass while searching through trip advisor for things to do during the day. I was skeptical at first because it sounded too good to be true but it’s totally legit! I bought the 3-day unlimited pass for $179 and got my money’s worth by the end of day 2. It was super efficient to use, had great tips/instructions for getting into the venue, and even helped me find new activities that I probably wouldn’t have found without it! I never had an issue with the pass being accepted anywhere. I did about 2 activities a day, saved about $100 overall and loved every experience I had! HIGHLY recommend for a first time traveler or anyone looking to see as much as they can on a budget. ### 2/5 — Beware of changes *2021-12-14, version 6.6.13* So we are in New York and headed to Brooklyn. We checked last week to plan everything and there were several items listed as included. As we are on our way, three of the main attractions are now missing from the app. What a waste of money and time. So disappointed in the app. It’s worked well when we’ve used it but this now makes 4 things in 3 days that have been removed as options in the last week. Wish i had an option for a partial refund for my wasted time. If you plan a trip around what’s available check again the morning you are going to verify it’s still there. ## Frequently asked questions about New York Pass ### What does the New York Pass app do?
