### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-20, version 1.12.0*

Tickets don’t show and app is useless

### 2/5 — No workie

*2026-04-18, version 1.12.0*

I’ve used this app in the past and purchased tickets for tonight. I’ve deleted, closed/opened and it’s still not working… printed tickets it is!

### 1/5 — This isn’t even an app

*2025-09-13, version 1.12.0*

It’s just a blank black page. I spent almost 100 dollars on a Chevelle ticket and have my bank receipt and prekindle says I don’t exist. This is worse than Ticketmaster

### 1/5 — Absolutely Useless

*2025-03-29, version 1.12.0*

Log in and only see a black screen.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-03-11, version 1.12.0*

This app does not work. You are forced to print your tickets for each event. This website only gives you access to print your tickets  right before the event. I thought the whole purpose of having a ticket app was to eliminate the need for printing paper tickets! I suggest that any event planner use a different platform for ticket sales

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-02-25, version 1.12.0*

High service fees and zero service. App doesn’t work beyond login. Shows “select event” and a black screen. Only option is to “log off”. Uninstalled, re-installed. Nothing works. Fix your issue please.

### 1/5 — This app flat out doesn’t work anymore.

*2023-09-04, version 1.12.0*

Sign in to view tickets, nothing. Wind up having to use website anyway.

### 5/5 — Great for scanning tickets

*2022-10-27, version 1.12.0*

This app is great for scanning in tickets at events. Been using it for years.  Not sure why all these other reviews think it’s a mobile version of the Prekindle website. It clearly says in the description that it is an app that lets your iOS device be usable as a ticket scanner.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2021-11-05, version 1.12.0*

Website is also useless. Not sure why anyone would use this service. Hopefully I can get in to the show I’m going to, no way of checking.

### 1/5 — Completely useless.

*2021-07-14, version 1.12.0*

Doesn’t work after login.
