## Review summary

Users experience major difficulties with the Showpass Android app including frequent login and ticket access problems, slow performance, and confusing interface. While the app allows purchasing new tickets and works well on event nights for ticket retrieval and printing, multiple users report it fails to show purchased tickets, logs them out repeatedly, and lacks features like Google sign-in. Ticket transfer is also found to be frustrating. These issues have led many users to abandon the app in favor of using the website.

### Pros

- Tickets are easy to pull up on event nights.
- Printing receipts and tickets is straightforward.
- The app works well for purchasing new tickets.
- The app is useful for certain events like concerts.

### Cons

- App frequently fails to show previously purchased tickets.
- The app has significant login issues, including lack of 'Sign in with Google' option and forcibly logging users out.
- The app is slow, laggy, and often freezes or fails to load content.
- Transferring tickets via the app is difficult and unintuitive.
- Overall interface is unclear and has caused users to lose money.
