## Review summary

Users report that while the Carowinds app offers useful features like storing season passes and park navigation, it suffers from significant issues. These include frequent login and password reset problems, buggy or missing interactive maps, and inaccurate or unavailable ride wait times. Updates intended to fix problems sometimes introduce new bugs or remove key functionality. Despite frustrations, some users find the app helpful once properly installed and appreciate its potential for enhancing park visits.

### Cons

- Frequent issues with needing to reset password and update the app, but update links often lead to errors or dead pages.
- Sign-in problems, including inability to log in or reset passwords, even after multiple attempts.
- The map functionality is poor or buggy: it disappears, leads to confusion, lacks landmarks, and navigation arrows do not adjust correctly.
