### 2/5 — Outdated UI

*2026-04-28*

Please update to the current UI Kit and use current non-legacy components

### 1/5 — What a waste of time

*2025-11-13*

No one can answer a simple question. Support is completely useless. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — DONT NOT PURCHASE TICKETS THAT REQUIRES THIS APP

*2023-03-17*

If any event you are trying to purchase tickets for requires this app it is a scam, do not buy the tickets or download this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2022-08-25*

Won’t recognize the password I set. Won’t recognize the reset password it created and gave me. Can’t log in. Paid $200 for a ticket I’m not even sure I can access. This app is terrible.

### 1/5 — USELESS IF YOU CAN’T SET USEFUL PASSWORD

*2022-07-09*

Told me I already was in their system, cannot imagine how since I’ve NEVER even heard of this app or company…..thus had to request password reset.
This provided one of those esoteric “temp” passwords, which worked, BUT I was not able to find any option to change to my own password.
At the event today, had saved the email with temp password but it would not work.
Good thing I printed the tickets.
Nice concept but this app is NOT ready for prime time

### 5/5 — Effective and easy enough for me to use

*2019-12-13*

Being on the go, I don’t have time to sit in front of the computer to manage my events. With this app - I can make changes quickly and contact my customers. Super effective for me

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-11-16*

I love using this app! Squad Up makes it so easy to plan all of my upcoming events and easily access my tickets. Can’t recommend enough!

### 1/5 — Worst app they dont take responsibility

*2019-09-28*

I purchased 2 ticket when i go to place there is no event. I wrote squadup they replied me contact you host. Already 4 days passed i am still waiting host to send me to refund. Also host never replied message from squadUp. If you don’t take responsibility why i am paying commission to you? Worst payment application i’ve ever used!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-09-26*

This App crashes.  It will not open to allow you to have access to your tickets.  Needs a lot of work.   I wish companies would stop patterning with them.

### 1/5 — broken?

*2019-04-28*

why can't i view the details of an event i PAID for? every time i tap on it, it asks me to enter some password that i was never emailed or made aware of. (my account password isn't it, if you're wondering.) also, facebook authentication is broken within the app — so if that's how you created your account, good luck.
