Lots of bugs in this app; the biggest one being that there is NOWHERE to log in and access my ticket! Hornblower should NOT be promoting this app via text message saying it would “improve my visitor experience.” The app does not who I know who I am! And the contact us buttons are worthless. Apps that waste my time due to poor UX design piss me off!
