Magic Guide: Universal Orlando App Reviews

66 add

Useless for regulars

Does not have any information on special events ie Mardi Gras, concerts, Halloween

Overrated

A) why does this app cost a dime? Didnt I pay to get in the park? I laugh that they hand out maps like candy by charge for this app B) the wait times were rarely accurate - off by as much as 30 mins C) if it showed your location and provided transit times it would be much better

Download a must!

A must have download for the park experience!!!! Wait times and maps. Very cool.

Wait times never appeared!

This was a complete waste of money. The maps are not current. We waited in line to eat, only to get to the register and find out we couldnt use our passes because the restaurant was removed from the QS list. Also, the wait times stayed "--" all day and would not let us update with our own wait times. Besides, there were signs around the park that scrolled updated wait times and ride closures.

Way to ruin a vacation

The park opening times starting August 1st are off. For those of you that know how important getting to the park early and hitting rides on a schedule, this ruined our entire day. We saw signs at the park listing 8am early opening but trusted the app would have the right time and thought this was for resort guests as we knew they always got in an hour early. 5 minute waits became 50 min plus waits. Two children disappointed at how few rides we could go on in our day. Two parents regretting purchasing the app.

Very helpful

This app is great!!!!

Love it

Dont Bother

My main reason for getting the app was far the mapping services. They dont exist in any meaningful for him. They need to be dramatically improved, adding a GPS location would be icing on the cake, but it needs to go along way to get there. The wait time was useful but it is available on a free app.

Great, 1 more feature would make it perfect

Awesome app love the wait time and menus. One thing which would make it just great would be crowd calendars. Please!

A Must for Universal Florida guests

Spent two day at botH parks and this made it so much easier to decide where and when to go in A MUST HAVE

Not for me

Get a free one this is a waste of money

Great Tool

Was glad to find and use this app. Spent 2 days at the park and found this very useful. Wait times. Ride height minimums. Restaurant guides. All were helpful. A GPS feature might be helpful but watch out the Disney App that uses GPS uses ALOT of battery and FAST. Wait times appear to rely on users so please submit as often as you can to help us all.

Good, self reported

Good app, but there are others that are free. This one has the wait times, maps and restaurant info all in one. The wait times are reported by those at the park and are relatively accurate. May be off, but still good direction.

Not enough detail

This App was not worth the money. Wait times were not available for half of the rides or not accurate. There was not information on the rides, i.e. Height requirements, type of ride (simulator vs roller coaster) (little kids ride vs older kids ride) etc. Use the free map app and get almost the same info.

Dont waste your money

This app was not helpful at all while I was at Universal Studios.

Too much money, not enough info

This app has some conveniences, but for four dollars I expected a whole lot more. The free app from universal is just as good, and well... free. Im kicking myself for buying this one. I fell into the trap that it must be better than the free one because of the price. Yeah, no. Its not. Handy to have something like this with you in the park, just choose one that doesnt charge you.

Wrong park hours!

This app had the wrong closing time for universal studios every night this week! A park app is only as good as the information in it and if it cant get the simplest thing right like closing time, it is useless. I went from IOA to US expecting the park to be open until 7 , only to be ushered out after my first ride since the park actually closed at 6 that night. Use the official app or touring plans app instead.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

NONE of the wait times were correct and NEITHER of the park hours were correct. FALSE ADVERTISING

Kept me on track all day. Hitting our 7th ride at 1:20. Short waits and maps at my fingertips!

Love it!

Great app! Used it often while visiting the parks over the course of three days.
