### 1/5 — Slow beyond belief

*2025-06-20, version 3.0.8*

Takes ages to open and use it’s pathetic

### 1/5 — Won’t load e-tickets on

*2025-05-27*

Told you have to activate e-tickets in order to enter park so should be basic function of the app. Doesn’t work, I’ve been sat here checking for updates, resetting passwords, turning phone off and on again yet it still gets stuck and says it’s failed to load the tickets on. Why have this requirement if you can’t deliver on your side to make it happen. Really frustrating.

### 1/5 — How MUCH??!!!

*2025-05-21, version 3.0.6*

They want me to pay £20 for a jpeg image. Biggest scam ever. Other wise app is fine.

### 1/5 — Stressful!!

*2025-04-21*

Purchased tickets and as directed had to download the app to claim tickets. I have been able to claim 1 out of 4 tickets the other 3 continue to fail, no explanation given, I have tried a number of times connected to WiFi and to data and still not completed. 
Now going to have to attend today and endure the stress that comes with having to sort this out because of an app that doesn’t do what it intends too.

### 1/5 — Sooooi Bad

*2025-04-04, version 3.0.4*

Such stupid and slow app

### 2/5 — Needs an update

*2024-11-21*

Please update your app, you need a picture for an e ticket for some reason, the  queue times update hourly so are almost always unreliable and for some reason there is no map inside the app unlike all the other uk theme park apps.

### 1/5 — Mark

*2024-11-14*

They’ve updated the app. It’s logged me out and no longer lets you reset the password. So the app is now totally useless. So no way to get into the park or rides. Absolute joke of an update.

Updated the app again and logged me out again.  New passwords required again.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-10-28, version 2.2.4*

Not very clear instructions, we activated all the tickets on one device then we had to use that phone to get on all the rides.
Very silly app, they need to go back to wristbands.
Fuming

### 2/5 — Why

*2024-09-16, version 2.2.4*

Had to ask an employee where a ride is instead of looking at the map in-app.. as there isn't one. Most embarrassing event in my whole life, thanks!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-09-12*

How long am I expected to sit here continuously selecting the photo over and over for it not to work? What does it matter who the tickets are for? I could have bought them for anyone and maybe I want to bring someone else last minute! If you’re going to make people provide this info for their tickets at least make sure it works!

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2024-08-17, version 2.2.4*

This app does not work properly, it demands that i upload a photo for each e-ticket then doesn’t let me upload any photos. The log in screen also has issues

### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-08-11*

Like others it needs a map. It needs to sync between device I set up on iPad and can’t transfer to phone. I found instructions hard to understand. I can see benefits from your point but as an older person taking grandchildren I found it difficult

### 1/5 — Mark

*2024-08-10*

They’ve updated the app. It’s logged me out and no longer lets you reset the password. So the app is now totally useless. So no way to get into the park or rides. Absolute joke of an update.

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-08-09*

I’ve have been trying for the past 3 days on my device as well as other peoples devices
We are unable to upload a picture in order to claim our E-tickets.
I have tried to delete the app and re-download however even after deleting the app when I re-open it I am still logged in even though it says it “deletes data” when you delete the app
Needs a massive update and issues resolving in order to use this app!

### 1/5 — Wants Pictures of Kids

*2026-07-10, version 3.2.3*

I don’t know what this third world Rotherham outlook is but what a disgusting idea. The app somehow works worse than the website which is deplorable.

It’s 2026 get tickets you can put in your phone’s wallet like EVERY OTHER VENUE in Britain.

Seriously dreadful.

### 1/5 — Visitor

*2026-07-06, version 3.2.2*

Terrible. Doesn’t log in, forced to use to get tickets. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Hate this app

*2026-06-19*

Incredibly angry that the web route of activating tickets doesn’t work (coincidence?) so I had to install this horrible app to do it. Why do you need me to have an account? Why on earth do you need a selfie? You used to be able to opt out of data mining. I pray for your downfall

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-05-21, version 3.2.2*

Nothing works. App doesn’t recognise details or order number. At the top it says download new app. Click it takes me right to the same app. I only downloaded it today. Not a fan of PPB and this isn’t helping.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2026-05-05, version 3.2.1*

terrible app they replaced the wristbands with this absolute garbage of an app forcing you into getting it then forcing you into sending a photo of yourself on the app which is so unnecessary or they’ll give you a paper ticket which can easily get wet, i would highly recommend that you don’t even bother going to blackpool pleasure beach until this is sorted it, don’t change something that already works (wristbands).

### 1/5 — Clunky way to get tickets

*2025-09-01, version 3.1.1*

Ridiculous process for getting tickets - data mining by the company and presumably selling details on. Not a good start to a visit to the seaside.

### 1/5 — Invasion of privacy

*2025-08-19, version 3.0.9*

I should not be required to upload photos to claim tickets already paid for. You should also be able to send tickets claimed to others to use on their phone. They should be a  difference between claiming and activating your tickets, so you can claim tickets send it to someone and they activate it.

### 1/5 — Great app ruined by stupidity

*2025-07-09, version 3.0.8*

Good app and works great HOWEVER mandatory to take pictures of yourself and children in order to get your tickets is the craziest and stupidest thing I’ve ever seen for today’s standards. As result to that the app gets 1 star. Just take that stupid feature off.

### 1/5 — Last trip to Blackpool because of this app

*2025-07-04*

How dare you require photos of all the people visiting, which was not a requirement to purchase the tickets in the first place?? Huge violation of privacy. 

Other theme parks don’t need this. The app is a huge waste of time, and very buggy. Causes so much more hassle than anywhere else. Will be the last trip to Blackpool for us, solely due to this app and invasion of privacy. Good riddance Blackpool pleasure Beach!

### 1/5 — Needs lots of work

*2025-06-22*

App works for tickets but is very poorly written. 

On opening the app you are presented with a number  of options.  The name of these options does not sit on the button correctly, instead the two line names overflow the area and is partially hidden on the background.

Additionally, on the iphone, you can not scroll to reveal the full last button making it impossible to see what its for.

### 5/5 — Worked well

*2026-08-15*

Had no problem with the app. But had 5 kids and it’s wiser to get printed ticket for them so they can go on the rides themselves. Call at the Guest centre and get them.

### 5/5 — Paul

*2025-05-25, version 3.0.6*

There is a man called Paul at the front gates and I don’t like him

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2024-12-23*

Love the new update and the overall change of the app. When it first launched you could tell they were going to change it eventually and wow! Love the aesthetic it matches the resort theme perfectly

### 5/5 — Finally an app

*2022-05-30*

And what an app it is. Visited recently and this app came in very hand and was very accurate with the queue times. It was so easy to use this app should’ve been done long ago. But happy that it is here now!

### 5/5 — Really User Friendly

*2022-05-26, version 1.0*

Really useful and user friendly app!

### 5/5 — Great idea for an app to improve the visit

*2022-05-24*

Works great, keeps me up to date with all information about my visit and what’s on that day

### 4/5 — Great app but still some room for improvement.

*2024-11-18*

A must download if you’re visiting Pleasure Beach Resort! The app is fast, efficient and aesthetically pleasing with the new ICON background and photos next to the ride queue times looking great. 
As a season pass holder, it is so simple to book tickets for the date of visit too and accessing photos on the app is also really easy. The What’s On feature is brilliant at keeping up to date with On-Park entertainment. 
In terms of improvements, I’d like to a live interactive map similar to Liseberg, Europa Park and other theme park apps. Additionally, seem as though you scan your e-ticket at the ride turnstiles, it noted what rides you’ve done that day. Whilst not necessarily important for myself as a season pass holder but for guests wondering what rides they’ve done it’d be quite a nice feature. Potentially they could add links to PBRs social channels too and the ability to book shows/events that day on the app. Overall, very efficient and easy to use!

### 3/5 — Needs a map!

*2023-09-21*

The app is okay, nothing amazing but wow could it do with a map! It’s good that season pass holders can book through the app but other than that it feels rather redundant with unreliable queue times and not much else to offer, please update!!! This could be an amazing app!!

### 2/5 — P

*2025-08-12, version 3.0.8*

Terrible system of allocating e-tickets with speedy tickets. Managed to miss book the number f e-tickets and speedy passes. Ordered another ticket but you can’t assign the orphaned speedy ticket to the new ticket- rubbish

### 2/5 — Not very polished

*2025-07-08, version 3.0.8*

Daft app that could be so much better. For a party of 2 it creates a group of 3, duplicating one of the people. Makes everything just a bit difficult.
