Bugs found in Universal Orlando Resort for iOS
Universal Orlando Resort is an application that replicates the Orlando resort of the same name. With this app, visitors can eliminate the stress of waiting in long queues to use a service. App users can easily join the Virtual Line to use any attraction within the park.
You can discover dining venues and order food directly from the app. The Universal app also provides interactive maps to guide you through the attractions and the Universal CityWalk feature.
Besides, you can add your favorite tasks to a wishlist and pay for tickets with your virtual wallet. On the latest version of the Universal Orlando Resort App, visitors can interact about their experiences at the location.

The Universal Orlando Resort™ app is useful when planning your trip to the resort. The app helps visitors to find anything they need on the premises. This application is intuitive, but several defects, like blurred covers and the shifting map, take away from the user experience. I believe these shortcomings will be fixed to make this useful app better.
