Just spinning pinwheels. Reinstalled and reinstalled. Spent our whole time at the needle trying to get the stupid app to work. #wasteoftime ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-13, version 2.2* Never loads, can sign in ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-13, version 2.2* Don’t do it! You can get the photos using your ticket number. I tried the QR code from the app and now I cannot retrieve any of my photos. Super disappointed. The app is worthless. ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2023-08-11, version 2.2* The app doesn’t work and there are no photos to show. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-08-08, version 2.2* At all, big waste of time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t show anything *2023-08-08, version 2.2* Literally useless. Doesn’t load anything ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-07-31* For some reason the system is down. Never loads even after uninstalling and installing, restarting, and so on. It also seems like the other reviews have never been checked recently or taken down either so. Definitely give it a try but also be extremely warned that it doesn’t work. Luckily I went to the Space Needle kiosk at the top floor and sent the free pictures with tickets to my email. It also lets you choose the background once at that kiosk. I recommend that way because at least you can get it emailed instead. ### 1/5 — App broken - use website for photos *2023-07-26* Like others have said, it’s baffling that this app still exists and is being promoted by the Space Needle. It’s literally broken. Go directly to their website and download your free digital pictures there. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work. *2023-07-17* I got an awesome picture at the space needle and they told me to download the app to get the picture. When I open the app it just has a loading circle and all the buttons at the bottom show nothing. Super lame. ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2023-07-07* App Home Screen never loads. Just a constant spinning wheel. Looks like they have abandoned any more updates for this app to allow it to work on newer iOS since no updates for 2 yrs. Speed Needle please remove your signage promoting this terrible app. ### 1/5 — Crash *2023-07-05, version 2.2* This is one of worst performing apps ever. GOOD LUCK ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-07-02, version 2.2* I think I accidentally downloaded the Waste Management app because this app is trash. ### 1/5 — Piece of garbage app. Cannot retrieve our photo. Useless. *2023-06-30, version 2.2* Do not bother downloading this useless junk. ### 1/5 — Didn’t load *2023-06-28* The app didn’t work at all. Couldn’t get it to load. I wish I would have known that you can just get it from the website. Would have saved me the time of downloading the app. But I did get my picture from the website. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2023-06-25, version 2.2* The Seattle Needle website recommends this app, but despite the fixes, it still does NOT work. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2023-06-19, version 2.2* Home page does not open just spins and spins. I would like to think in a techie city someone could develop an app that works. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-05-29, version 2.2* App doesn’t work. They said they fixed the issues but can’t get passed the loading screen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-29, version 2.2* App doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-11-18, version 2.2* Does not work at all on my iPhone 16 pro ### 1/5 — Won’t load at all *2024-08-04* I downloaded this app at the recommendation of the website in the confirmation of my tickets. I’ve tried for days to get the welcome screen to load, but all I get is the never ending buffering circle. I would leave a zero star rating for this if I could. ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2024-07-13* App does not load. It installed but when opening, It just spins and never shows anything. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-06-15* Can’t do anything ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-12-17, version 2.2* You don’t need to write much. It simply does not work. ### 1/5 — never worked *2023-10-29* The app could not load the home screen, and never worked in other screens. I installed it a few times, not working at all. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-09-29, version 2.2* Does not work ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-09-26* Had I known all of the “free photo ops“ were complete garbage, I would’ve taken the photos myself. None of the photos are accessible, the app won’t even open. Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — It will loose your photos. *2023-09-11, version 2.2* Don’t rely on their photo service they won’t provide the photos. They aren’t available even if you enter the 18 digit code, it’s completely worthless. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superbadass *2019-08-06, version 2.1.2* Always love this place!! Tawnya and Robbie. Xoxox ### 2/5 — App crashes when downloading photos *2018-11-15, version 1.1* Beautiful app but crashes when downloading photos. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
