## Review summary

The app is valued for its ease of use and real-time board updates, aiding quick last-minute planning and reducing time spent in line. However, it suffers from stability issues on various devices (especially Samsung and Pixel 7) and lacks pricing or purchasing capabilities, making it less useful for actual booking despite showing availability.

- Helpful for last-minute decisions and lotteries/rush tickets, considered an essential tool for quick planning.
- Provides information about what’s typically available at TKTS booths, reducing the need to stand in line.

### Cons

- Crashes on launch or fails to load on certain devices (notably Samsung models and Pixel 7) and after updates.
- No prices shown and no option to purchase tickets within the app, limiting its usefulness for actually booking.
- Inconsistent performance across devices/updates, with several reports of instability and unusable states.
