### 1/5 — Still waiting for landscape mode

*2024-12-26, version 11.1.9*

The previous edition of this app worked fine in landscape mode. I use an iPad with a keyboard attached, so am always in landscape mode. This version of the app is portrait mode only, so I don’t use it. I’ve been going to the gopsusports.com website to access all that is contained in this app, and working in landscape mode is no problem.

### 1/5 — Quits

*2024-11-23, version 11.1.8*

This app, as usual, blows. Try to listen to Steve and Jack postgame. App quits, can’t reconnect. Also not available via Carplay. Why do you bother releasing such trash?

### 1/5 — AWFUL!!!

*2024-10-16, version 11.1.5*

I have NEVER had to sign in and out of an app so many times in my life! This is absurd. App works less than half the time. Trying to manage ticket is so aggravating. This makes me want to give up any PSU tickets I have, just to not have to try to sell tickets, transfer tickets or download tickets. With this many ticket holders, how is this sooo terrible?

### 1/5 — Listen button is broken

*2024-10-05, version 11.1.5*

Seems like the listen button is broken in the app. Worked fine for the past few years. Disappointed

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for mobile tickets.

*2024-09-10, version 11.1.3*

I can’t ever access my season tickets.  Sometimes I can look at them but can’t click on them, sometimes I can click on them but can’t view them, sometimes they’re all missing. For the Bowling Green game, I couldn’t even add them to my wallet until the day of.  Constant errors.

### 1/5 — Ticketing

*2024-08-27, version 11.1.3*

I am unable to access my football season tickets through the app or Ticketmaster.

### 1/5 — Multiple Errors with App Update

*2024-08-26, version 11.1.3*

Cannot login or access tickets.  Cannot use credentials to log in.  Was able to log in with Apple but then get error when try to access tickets.  Complete disaster.

### 1/5 — Useless for season ticket holders

*2024-08-26, version 11.1.3*

Probably good for students but useless for season ticket holders. Constant API error when trying to access our tickets. Have to use the desktop app or a mobile browser. 

Never had an issue with previous apps and from what I’m reading on social media, it’s a widespread issue.

### 1/5 — New App

*2024-08-13, version 11.1.2*

The new version of the app is poor.  It won’t rotate on my iPad so I can view it horizontally.  Graphics are blurry.  Does not look something a top tier D1 athletic program would put out.

### 1/5 — IPhone ticket will not transfer to wallet

*2024-08-08, version 11.1.2*

When viewing my ticket, either via the Nittany App or Ticketmaster, no option is offered to move the ticket to Apple Wallet.  Ticketmaster customer svc said it is a Penn State issue.  Penn State said they are aware but are not pursuing it.  Evidently the base of the issue is that the person who buys our tickets every year has an Android phone and sends them to me on my Apple.  First year for it though.  The new Nittany app release probably at fault.  So I will be going in either on Wi-Fi at Beaver (good luck there) or have to go to a long line for paper.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-08-03, version 11.1.1*

Hard at times to log into
Get error messages
Even though I’ve had the had for years
Finally deleted it

### 1/5 — False start

*2024-08-02*

What happened to landscape mode? I use this app both on iPad and iPhone and only portrait mode is available (old app followed iPad screen orientation).

Also, can’t manage my tickets via the app. Have to use web site.

### 1/5 — Needs fixed!!

*2024-07-31, version 11.1.1*

Too many issues with this app.  Tickets can’t be managed in app,  only web view works.

Also,  haven’t been able to login nor reset password.

We need to better to show WE ARE better…

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-22, version 11.3.2*

Ticketmaster and Penn State app for sports tickets is terrible. You buy tickets through Ticketmaster and they are not displayed in the Penn State app. It is theft and a criminal

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-10-20, version 11.2.8*

App is slow, always crashes. Just use the website.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-09-12, version 11.2.5*

Penn state needs to go back to paper tickets. This app is horrible at best as it never works for you to transfer tickets.

### 1/5 — The absolute worst

*2025-08-22, version 11.2.5*

Typical PSU disaster. App doesn’t work and just has the logo on your screen. Worthless, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for… nothing.

### 1/5 — Won’t even open

*2025-03-11, version 11.2.2*

I can’t even get the app to open anymore. It just sits on the Lion head screen forever. If it does open, it crashes when trying to click on any link in the schedule. It is also super annoying to have to scroll through to the current date to see what teams are playing. The schedule opens to tomorrow instead of today.

### 1/5 — App suddenly closes

*2025-03-02, version 11.2.0*

The app must have a bug in the latest version.  If you select an article, the screen flips to white and closes the app.  It only happens on iPads.  I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, I’ve loaded it on another iPad and it hasn’t helped.  I’d give the app 5 stars normally, but it only gets 1 now.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2025-03-02, version 11.2.0*

Fix the app, it crashes every time you select something

### 1/5 — Useless after the update

*2025-03-01, version 11.2.0*

This app is useless after the update. Like they didn’t even test before going live.

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2025-02-28, version 11.2.0*

I can’t read any article that is posted. As soon as I click on one, I’m tossed out of the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it with the same result. The app gives no way to reach a customer support function. It’s pretty much useless.

### 1/5 — Update causes app crashes

*2025-02-24, version 11.2.0*

If you try to open any of the news articles, it causes the app to crash and close. If you ask the virtual assistant a question about this app problem, the bot instructs you to download the very app you are currently using to chat with the bot. If you try to get app support, you are shown a “page not found” error. The problem wasn’t in the prior version, so hopefully the developers can undo their latest work to fix this.

### 5/5 — Radio broadcast information

*2026-01-16, version 11.3.2*

Nowhere can we find info on psu radio ie Jeff Byers play by play 
Big10 and big10+ not available in San Juan Puerto Rico but I can get radio if I can get instructions to gain 
Access 
Help Please

### 5/5 — Joe

*2024-06-01, version 11.0.7*

I’ve been a Penn State fan since I’m 10 years old. I am now 63 I seen Penn State win the national championship against Miami hurricanes for the record. I think it’s a disgrace college has done to Journal. There would be no Penn State without Joe but I will continue to follow Penn State because I am a loyal fan, just like I continue to watch the Jets

### 5/5 — Spectacular show of Power

*2023-01-21, version 1.0.2*

I am so proud of these guys. They make me Penn State Proud.

### 4/5 — Crashes on click fixed in v11.2.2

*2025-03-06, version 11.2.2*

App was crashing on any story click, but the bug was fixed in this version.

### 3/5 — Updates to stats?

*2023-03-06, version 1.0.2*

Not receiving notifications for iOS 16 on iPhone 14pro. Wish you could incorporate live activities.

### 2/5 — Opening articles causes crashes

*2025-03-01, version 11.2.0*

Similar to other user reports … the latest app update results in crashes when you attempt to open a news article. Happens repeatedly. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — Crash

*2025-03-01, version 11.2.0*

Crashes too often

### 2/5 — “Bug fixes” aren’t fixed

*2024-09-07, version 11.1.3*

Can’t access my tickets because of an error in the app. This is happening to hundreds of people. Fix it.

### 2/5 — Too hard to find results and standings

*2024-09-05, version 11.1.3*

Need to follow normally expected conventions like when you click on a teams schedule you get past games and results as well as future games dates/times.

### 2/5 — Less than mediocre

*2024-08-19*

Has some nice features but the Manage Tickets feature is absolute trash. Continue getting API errors. Judging by various FB groups, this is a widespread issue. We donate enough with season tickets and game day purchases, the least they can do is bring in some students with coding experience and update the app.
