## Review summary

Reviews repeatedly flag stability and usability problems in the Universal Orlando app: frequent glitches/crashes, sign-in and ticketing syncing issues, and poor navigation with hard-to-find wait times. Users also cite pricing frustrations and heavy cashless ordering hurdles. A minority note usable moments when staff assist with app setup or ordering. Overall sentiment skews negative due to reliability, UX, and pricing concerns, with limited but notable positives around in-park ordering when the app works.

### Pros

- In-park ordering via the app (especially when staff help with setup).
- Fast service and good quality when ordering through the app.
- Helpful staff who assist with app setup and orders (e.g., helping users download the app to order).

### Cons

- Frequent app reliability issues: glitches, crashes, and text disappearing.
- Sign-up/login problems and ticketing/account linking failures (unrecognized details, tickets not showing, pass-holder issues).
- Poor navigation and organization: hard to find information, cluttered UI, not user-friendly search.
- Wait times are inaccurate or hard to view; posted times often do not match reality.
- Cashless/payment friction and pricing concerns: high prices, price changes in the app, and a complex ordering flow that interferes with Apple Pay/not integrated smoothly.
