RA Guide for Negative User Reviews

These people are a total scamI purchased two tickets for the first time from them and their event was cancelled. It's been 3 months now and still haven't received my refund. No customer contact service and rarely they would reply to their email. So bazaar!!!.Version: 2.3.0

Bare bonesResident Advisor has so much content and yet their app lacks so much of what they are already produce! Give us the articles. For gods sake give us the podcasts! If I could play RA podcasts from the app while driving... that would threaten Spotify as far as I’m concerned. Make this app great! Right now it’s weak..Version: 1.11.15

BrokenNot been able to buy tix in the app for a while now.Version: 2.3.19

No longer offering Apple Wallet ticket. Must use app to display ticketIt’s been a few years since I last used RA, and was very disappointed that they no longer offer Apple Wallet tickets. Worse, I have to download this mediocre and overly flashy app to be able to just display the tickets. Dice is the same, but at least isn’t as awful as this one! Like how do you view tickets you’ve bought? It’s by clicking on the event page, (that appears like you’ve never bought a ticket!). No, it’s by clicking the RA logo at the bottom right of the screen – something no other app does for obvious reasons. Unintuitive and unnecessary. Dance Ticketmaster..Version: 2.7.0

Didn’t receive ticketMy ticket was nowhere to be found and I paid . Also didn’t receive email with confirmation of payment however the money was taken out of my account.👎🏻.Version: 1.6.2

App not ready for prime timeTried with 3 different credit cards and PayPal and the app kept saying it didn’t recognize my payment. I want to buy tickers for an event in Miami. The app is not ready for prime time and is not optimized to handle the service customers demand..Version: 2.3.7

Inconvenient to log inPlease improve your login and account management.Version: 1.5.0

ResolutionWhere is the updated resolution for XS max and XR? If you are using the auto resolution it would be as simple as recompiling the app with Xcode. It’s annoying to have everything be bloated and huge, otherwise decent app..Version: 1.7.9

TicketsI purchased tickets a week ago for a show tonight and the address is still TBD??? I don’t understand if it’s not happening refund my money. I can’t even find a way to contact anyone..Version: 1.7.8

Easy to buy tickets for events, but always crashes!The app is the most convenient way of buying to tickets for most clubs around the world, with apply pay integrated and QR tickets. Always use it for buying tickets instead of the website! However… the App is always crashing and often stuck on dates in the past! A lot of the times I can’t even get through to buying tickets currently. Sort it out!.Version: 2.3.1

Unable to unsubscribe from emailsI unchecked all the boxes in the app and still keep receiving promotional emails. There is no contact information on the app or the website so I can’t even tell them to unsubscribe me! Seriously?.Version: 2.4.1

So complicatedWhy is it impossible to find events in the app that are easy to find in the site? Unfortunately buying a ticket on the site doesn’t mean it’ll end up in your app. You’re screwed either way with this app..Version: 2.3.19

Don't waste your timeThe app is basically non-functional. It's impossible to navigate without the app crashing..Version: 1.1.1

Absurd BugType the wrong auth creds. Your password will show up in the email field. this is absurd.Version: 2.3.6

Buggy “New” tab breaks the appFor years now tapping the “New” tab has been causing the app to close, every time. This is very frustrating since I use RA guide several times a week to find shows but am unable to benefit from early release ticket prices. I thought that the engineers would eventually discover the issue and fix it but they still haven’t. (Perhaps they need more observability and bug monitoring hint hint) So I’m hoping that they will see this review and get it fixed 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Other than that, it’s a fantastic app and it’s a shame such a key feature is broken and the experience so badly affected..Version: 2.7.0

Forced downloadMaking people download the app to have the tickets on their phone is bush league..Version: 1.8.10

Disappointing app!!!Fraudsters! After the event is cancelled,they take interest off the refund..Version: 2.8.6

Ticketing Is Slow and Pain to NavigatePlease integrate any ticket purchases to apple wallet so we don't have to open the app at the event. This could also help with no internet coverage as it caches the ticket to the wallet for easy processing..Version: 2.9.0

Add to Apple wallet too obscureI’m sure the app is fine. I just loaded it because I wanted to add the tickets I had already bought to my Apple wallet. The process to do that was a bit of a pain. I would much prefer an option in the confirmation email as provided by Eventbrite, Universe and others. I’ve deleted the app and will print future tickets until that becomes available..Version: 1.8.11

Buggy and unnecessary.Was forced to download this app to access my ticket. If you’re going to force someone to download an app at least make sure it works properly. I misspelled my password and when I clicked “try again” it made my password the username for the entire population of Canada to see. (Aka just who was next to me) so maybe fix that , and maybe don’t force people who’ve already paid for a ticket to download an app they don’t want and will never use again. Thanks have a lovely day.Version: 2.3.4

Please Open Links in the AppGreat app to find night life music. Please make a fix so when you are sharing an event link, it opens in the RA app and not in Safari/chrome. Without this, it makes event distribution difficult for all parties involved, adding extra steps..Version: 2.8.10

Fix the ‘interested’ show add list featureLove the app but cannot add shows to watchlist - when you ‘interested’ is engaged, it doesnt add the show to ‘interested’; instead, an infinite loop of buffering displays and the assets on the page all become disengaged, and only can press the ‘back’ button at the top left to return to the prevent page of show results. Therefore, adding shows to ‘interested’ is completely broken..Version: 2.8.10

TerribleAbsolutely terrible don’t download waste of time.Version: 2.10.1

New TabThe ‘New’ tab on Main page which was my main use for the app closes the application when I go to press it. Hasn’t worked in 1-2 months.Version: 2.7.0

Bad qualityApp lagging I don’t know could be security issue.Version: 2.3.1

Very frustratingAny events that are run using this service require you to have an app and an account, I find it unnecessary to go through this much just to go to an event, I have will always delete this app immediately after going to these events because there is no need to make it this difficult to access tickets..Version: 2.8.3

Where are the new tracks?Where are the new tracks?.Version: 1.5.1

Always have issuesEven verifying my account isn’t possible, I have made multiple accounts with RA and always there is an issue...Version: 2.3.10

Can’t change name on ticketBought 2 event tickets and opted to use the resale option when I could no longer attend. RA resold one ticket, leaving me with one which I hoped to either give away or sell on myself. To do so you need to edit the name on the ticket. It wouldn’t let me edit the name on the ticket as the ticket was in the resale queue. It also wouldn’t allow me to remove the ticket from the resale queue. Total con artists. The ticket that was sold on would be refunded to me minus the price of an admin fee. Rat scum..Version: 2.3.19

Horrible Customer ServiceYou can’t even contact them, they don’t have a phone number and their email is useless. They haven’t refunded me my money from last years 2020 Rumors LA and they haven’t even replaced my tickets for new ones for the 2021 Rumors event. I need someone to contact me as soon as possible please. This is ridiculous..Version: 2.1.2

Apple PayApple Pay integration is poor, it’s never worked for me which is especially frustrating when trying to get tickets to quick selling events..Version: 1.11.10

Basically unusableCan’t even verify my account because the app is spazzing back and forth between the “popular” and “new” headings causing it to be constantly switching back and forth. If you try to verify your account the app starts bugging out and you can’t even use it. Don’t download.Version: 2.4.1

Big Fundamental problemHey RA is great, and this app looks cool. But kinda huge fundamental problem: on a Sunday morning at 6am I cant check what parties are going on RIGHT NOW. (I.e. those that started on Saturday night) All the app can show is upcoming events. Tomorrow, the next day, or next week. But not NOW. Forced to go onto the actual website to check, which means there’s no point in having the app :/ (Would be nice to be able to reminisce on past events too).Version: 1.6.2

Don’t get mates to buy your ticketsTrying to get my tickets and still can’t get them because my mate booked them GOD they make it hard.Version: 2.7.0

COMPLETE SCAM DO NOT GET THIS APPHave bought tickets multiple times. Email with tickets delivers. No Email with address ever delivers. Paid $135 for two tix in LA, my friend hadn’t been to one before, and we couldn’t even get an address..Version: 2.3.7

Update and lose all your artists.Spent the last few years following your favorite artists? Say goodbye to your artist list because with the new update, RA has removed this section. Remember scrolling through your artists to see their upcoming performances? No more. Now you’ll need to remember each artist in your list and manually search for the artist. Can’t even begin to understand why RA has removed what is arguably the best feature of the app. Ugh..Version: 2.0.1

Glitchy and leaks passwordsThis app is poorly developed. It says you have tickets but when you go to click them it tells you to log into the right account but obviously you are if you can even see them. Also, the app exposes your password when trying to recover or reset your password once it brings you back to the app from the browser..Version: 2.3.2

Where are the links or sounds of the artist?I signed up so I could do for tracks globally. Where are the links for this ?.Version: 1.13.2

Why do I have to download this app to view my ticket. So annoyingThe app isn’t even good..Version: 1.11.6

Won’t recognize log-in, 0 online support except a FAQThis is extremely frustrating especially since the forgot password function isn’t working, and I can’t access the tickets I just purchased. There’s no option to view in browser, just the app. Super poor design/user flow..Version: 2.3.3

Worst app and app support everIf you did mistake and bought a different ticket no refunds no help just they make you buy right tickets and they will promise refund but it’s a false.Version: 2.3.12

ComplicatedRA is the most complicated app! I thought I was the only one but all of my friends also think it's complicated to buy tickets. Unfortunately dice is more expensive but easier to use and transfer tickets. Hope they will figure it out soon.Version: 2.3.11

Unable to make purchaseI was not able to make a purchase with a valid Visa card that has more than enough funds. I then tried to get help and there is absolutely no support to speak/chat with..Version: 2.3.18

App doesn't openWon't open at all, click on it and nothing.Version: 2.3.17

No customer serviceNo way to talk to a human. Rocked up to a club and it’s not open. No one to help. No one to direct you where to go. Just straight nothing..Version: 2.8.6

Needs ability to favourite cities!Really needs the ability to favorite a city so that people who travel can quickly find the city they want. Really annoying to scroll through 100 countries and cities when really I just frequent two..Version: 2.3.9

Won’t scan my Apple Music, keeps crashingWon’t scan my Apple Music, keeps crashing.Version: 1.11.2

TicketNot easy to navigate. Could not send the tickets to people I bought to..Version: 2.3.3

RA ticketing softwareI struggle every time with RA ticketing systems - the software crashes during card payment process despite trying different browsers, phone, cards etc.Version: 1.13.5

Horrible!I had tickets supposedly on hold for 5minutes and whilst booking the 2nd release tickets got sold and i was pushed to higher pricing. Terrible app , would not recommend!.Version: 2.3.1

Great but please fix filtersGreat app cause I can check all the upcoming gigs I'm interested in. 1 pain point is the filter. The app doesn't show the current nights events.. not sure if I'm using it wrong but seems to only pick up the next days events and onwards..Version: 1.3.6

No refund support for cancelled eventsI purchased two tickets (about 50£) via RA app. Event been cancelled and RA doesn’t do anything to help to get money back - all they said - contact the promoters directly and it’s practically impossible Never again using this app to book tickets.Version: 1.8.9

Impossible to unsubscribe from emailsIf you use this app, brace yourself for a newsletter you can never unsubscribe from. The “marketing settings” within the app show options for email preferences but they don’t do anything. I’ve tried everything. Seems like a very big, very dumb oversight..Version: 2.6.0

Painful app experienceSuch a terrible app. Email the tickets. and don’t write in grey on a black background.Version: 2.3.6

Removed Apple Wallet supportRA has always been the best, most elegant app for buying tickets to dance events. Not sure why they removed Apple Wallet support, though... it was what gave it the edge over other ticket purchasing services. Please bring it back!.Version: 1.8.1

Terrible UIUI is unintuitive and inconsistent with any other phone apps design philosophy. Very clear that this is just a website packaged in an app with no functional gain..Version: 2.4.3

Needs a UX DesignerCompletely inaccessible and counter intuitive. A low corner with their logo as a menu, imposible to see input fields and truncated error messages. Your app is not usable!.Version: 2.1.2

Decent app but couple of bugs & other improvementsThis app is pretty good at meeting the most basic use case. But if you want anything outside that then it gets less useful. For example if you want to keep track of events in multiple areas. It has also been buggy with the for you page, for the last couple of months. It doesn’t update and shows only events from Nov 2023 onwards. Also if I try to search in the search bar it closes the keyboard after the first letter and I have to reclick in the bar..Version: 2.8.9

Ticket Processing Doesn’t WorkI’ve spent 5 hours on the phone and computer trying to order tickets but I keep getting processing errors. Being told it’s likely due to the bank being foreign but I can’t get it approved until I know which country RA processes my card but I getting someone to help is impossible..Version: 1.11.11

Can’t buy ticketsIt’s great for everything, discovering events and quickly seeing what’s on, falls flat when you try and press the buy ticket button and it just doesn’t work. Completely hangs, defeats the purpose of an app for tickets.Version: 2.3.19

LolObligatory to install the app to view tickets.Version: 2.3.19

Awful app and serviceAwful company, paid for tickets for an event and even paid for tickets to be sent special delivery, tickets didn’t even turn up till after the event and where posted out normal post. When I asked for a refund they basically said no so I went through my credit card company got my money back. The cheek of the company contested it and the credit card company with held my complaint as I sent in all the proof and emails. Absolutely disgusting service and now my account has been blocked from buying tickets..Version: 1.8.15

You need an app to see your ticketGive me a break you shouldn’t need an app to show a ticket , why doesn’t it just show up in my email..Version: 2.3.2

Very poor customer serviceI have been a loyal customer of resident advisor for a couple of years, buying in total over 40 tickets on the platform. Never have I asked for a refund and for assistance until last week, when I was refused entry into a club because they sold at overcapacity. All resident advisor was able to tell me was that they could not help me and that they could not give a refund. This speaks to how much they “care” for loyal customers. Disappointed to say the least. Going forward I’ll always check if tickets are also sold from a different platform.Version: 1.8.15

App Does not work on my IPhoneI have updated this app twice and each time I click onto it it shuts off immediately and I have to log in via the website instead it’s crap..Version: 1.8.9

It's hard to unsubscribe from email list.I really don't like that i had to spent 20 munites to unsubscribe from email list. Disappointed..Version: 2.3.18

Can’t change locations on iOS 13Can’t change locations after ios13 update. Shows the scroll down menu if countries but can’t select one. There is no way to send feedback through app about these problems.Version: 1.9.3

Terrible payments integrationThis app and website were written with a “my first website” kit or something. The payment integration is ATROCIOUS. Have been trying to purchase tickets to no avail for the last hour. Gonna uninstall and just buy at the door because I’d rather pay extra than pay whoever made this service bye.Version: 1.8.10

Almost as though they don’t want you to registerCan’t verify my registration cos they don’t send me the email to verify. All I’m trying to do is buy some tickets....Version: 1.8.3

App freezes a lotPlease fix the "clubs in" part of the app. Cheers.Version: 1.0.4

New Releases should improve your experienceSeems like this new release has done just the opposite. The UX and UI is terrible. Losing functionality is not the way forward..Version: 2.1.2

So many issues in functionality vs. the websiteWhen I try to mark interested for an event it gets stuck. It doesn't load the "for you" and "new" tabs in the events page. Still on it almost everyday to track events.. Developers pretty please, fix the issues and get my 5 stars..Version: 2.9.0

ScamWhen trying to get in contact with them they use a no reply email so is impossible to get a refund.Version: 1.13.2
