It works the first time you open it, then when you try to reopen and activate the AR camera it shuts down. Only way to get it to work again is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Then it will work for one session before the problem repeats. Definitely not a magical experience.
I downloaded this before visiting the SF location. AR camera was slow to react or respond. There were only 3-4 locations with the AR symbol and the only coasters I found were in the gift shop at the end. When I managed to take a picture with the camera, it would freeze and half the time, I couldn’t exit after saving the picture to take another one. Maybe it’s more worth it if you sign up for Sugar Rush (where they own whatever pics you take) but I could have done without it.
This app is very glitchy and slow. Took forever to sign up and once I did it keep closing out. Never got my my link so I was never able to get my phone.
Do you like it when an app completely freezes as you are trying to use it to take photos? Then you will love this app. For everyone else, it’s awful. Just awful.
