### 2/5 — Won’t  update

*2026-01-31, version 3.5.5*

Won’t update on iPhone 8- unfair programming. 
Should not have to buy a new phone just to use the app.

### 2/5 — Poor search and confusing ticket pricing

*2026-01-11*

The search experience is bad. I did not grant location permission, and searching by date and city name alone often fails to return the shows I’m looking for. A basic search should not depend on location access to function properly.

Ticket pricing is also poorly designed. All seats appear in the same color, so there’s no way to understand price differences at a glance. There is no price filtering, and you have to tap seats one by one just to see prices. In some cases, tapping a seat doesn’t even show the price — you have to add it to the cart to find out.

Overall, browsing and buying tickets feels unnecessarily slow, opaque, and frustrating.

### 2/5 — very frustrating

*2025-07-27, version 3.3.5*

won’t save an address on customer’s profile so has to be resubmitted for every purchase.
can’t choose my credit card as an option to pay even though it is current and set as default payment method on profile. support team replies with ‘supposed to work, ‘ but the concerns have not been fixed

### 2/5 — Facebook login issues!

*2023-09-12*

I can’t seem to login with my Facebook account for some odd reason? When I try to login it stays stuck on a blank page and doesn’t sync with my account!? Fix it pls!!!

### 1/5 — Deleting this App

*2020-03-17, version 2.2.1*

Recently purchased a ticket to an event through Showpass which was unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.

I am receiving a full refund for the ticket from the event organizers, however Showpass does not want to refund me the $1.39 service charge.

Honestly, $1.39 is not breaking the bank but in this landscape of a socio-economic crisis I find it in extremely poor taste that a company would be this greedy

So by all means Showpass, keep my $1.39 but just know I don’t give away money for nothing. So in exchange I’m going to take a few stars away from your overall score.

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2020-02-09, version 2.2.1*

This app has very poor customer service. Could not get anyone to help me with a problem I had with an event venue.

### 3/5 — Fine, but has a stupid bug

*2019-04-19, version 2.1.0*

Every time I open this app, I am presented with an alert telling me there are no events in my area. Tapping Cancel just causes the alert to go away and come back. The only way to get rid of it and look at another tab is to explicitly go and search for events in another location. 

Edit: contacted support and they acknowledged the bug and said there’ll be a fix soon.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2019-04-05, version 2.0.0*

At my event and the app keeps giving me request error messages so I can’t login...what a piece of junk...amateurs for sure

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2019-01-21, version 1.5.0*

Bought two tickets, neither are shown. Tried support in the app and won’t load. Very unhappy with my experience so far.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-01-05, version 1.4.0*

Fix the app!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-12-16, version 1.3.4*

I downloaded this to transfer a ticket and it made them both invalid, it’s really slow and barely works. I can’t wait to get my ticket so I can delete it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Frustrating UX

*2026-07-10, version 3.6.7*

App still won’t autofill addresses, to make a purchase the same information has to be manually entered three times, it won’t save payment info - terrible user experience. Looking at other reviews these seem to be persistent issues.

### 1/5 — Cannot complete purchase

*2025-11-25, version 3.5.1*

I set up the payment card, but everytime I click on my payment card in the purchase page, it just stuck on the "use another card". Btw this is just a ticket app, why my phone gets hot when I use this app.

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2025-08-08, version 3.4.0*

In an age where literally everything seeks to harvest private and personal information for corporate gain at the expense of your privacy, you really would have thought that this app would at least allow you to save routine information you have to enter every single time you book a ticket. 
Design and optics of the app are fine. But every single time I make a purchase I have to re-enter my details even when I select to save them.

### 1/5 — Now it is awful

*2025-07-01, version 3.3.2*

I’ve had this app for years and this year it no longer keeps you logged in. When you do log in it does not save any of your information so you must reenter address and credit card every time you use it. Also it’s lost the functionality to pay via apple wallet. Basically it’s now a nightmare to use.

### 1/5 — Not replacing the Showpass dashboard app

*2025-03-14, version 3.2.0*

This app is not supporting event organizers. Why disabling the dashboard app for this one?

### 1/5 — the explore menu and search doesn’t work

*2024-10-09, version 3.1.11*

can’t look for any events, can’t login to the browser, i’m never redirected to the app when i’m clicking on the event link from a social media event page or linktree, loved the qr code thing but honestly everything else is a disappointment

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2023-10-28, version 3.0.5*

Useless. No matter what I do, it absolutely will not let me log in or reset password or use any other means to access tickets I have now wasted money on. Use anything else other than this.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2023-02-06, version 2.3.2*

Purchased an event ticket through show pass online and QR code would not work when I tried to download event ticket to phone. Garbage app.

### 1/5 — Can’t buy a seat

*2022-09-12, version 2.2.4*

I have now tried for 1/2 an hour trying to get this stupid thing to work. I just want to buy two seats to the U17 hockey challenge series and the dam thing won’t let me pick a seat let alone move on to pay anything. What a pc of crap

### 1/5 — NEVER USE SHOWPASS!!!!!

*2021-11-26, version 2.2.3*

Super slow!!! You can barely get a ticket! As an event organizer, people were reaching out to me because they can’t buy tickets. It also counts tickets in the cart as sales?!?!?!? That way, once someone has added tickets to the cart (and say forget about it), no one can buy tickets until the user empty their cart!!! As the event organizer, you can’t do anything other than sending that person an email reminding them that they have tickets in their cart!

This is the most useless app I’ve ever seen!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-07-06, version 3.1.5*

This is my favourite app!

### 5/5 — I’ve been scrolling for days

*2021-07-30, version 2.2.3*

It’s great super easy but if there’s multiple show times on multiple days it’s never ending I’ve scrolled through so many Van Gogh posts I know how to spell his name. One banner per event in the explore tab would be great or a calendar mode, I dunno but I do know is a will continue to tell people to use this app.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2020-01-03, version 2.2.1*

Super cool app

### 5/5 — Way better than ticket master

*2018-08-08, version 1.0.0*

Jesus I have never had such an amazing ticket purchasing experience

### 4/5 — Too many glitches

*2025-05-28, version 3.2.8*

Used to be a really good app that would leave me logged in but lately I have to log in everytime.

### 3/5 — Always logged out

*2025-08-18, version 3.4.1*

It’s so frustrating I’m always being logged out, every day and multiple time a day.

### 3/5 — Mobile wallet does not work

*2025-02-04, version 3.1.15*

I love using Showpass generally, but they have a recurring issue with Apple Wallet, where tickets appear on the locked screen days/weeks before an event (instead if just a few hours before).

### 3/5 — Won’t load my upcoming tickets!?

*2024-12-08, version 3.1.14*

This app has been giving me a hard time in the last little while I can’t get into my upcoming tickets, which allows me to load it into my Apple wallet. I’m already logged in, but it still gives me a hard time while trying to updating it.

### 3/5 — NEEDS Apple wallet support

*2021-11-26, version 2.2.3*

The app is OK, but would be a lot better if I were able to add my pass to my apple wallet. Sometimes it logs me out of my account and it is a struggle to pull up my pass in line, would like it to be quick and convenient in my wallet.

### 3/5 — Good app, needs some improvement

*2021-08-11, version 2.2.3*

I get that some event organizers prefer to have time slots for events, but there has to be a better way to implement that instead of hundreds and hundreds of the same event for each time slot. Scrolling through all the Van Gogh events is enough to frustrate users from scrolling for events that could interest them. The search function is also very inconsistent in the app. 

Apple Pay and wallet integration is the best. Never an issue when checking in to an event.
