It wont work, just a black screen. Restarted the phone, reinstalled the app, nothing worked. We tried on my wife's phone and mine. Not NASA technology... I hope. (Samsung S23 Ultra and S22)

Does a very poor job of detecting if you are actually in the space center or not, making it very difficult to get or view tour reservations.

AR doesn't even work. The app also keeps forgetting that I already booked a tram tour and I have to keep refreshing page.
