Hamilton - The Official App Reviews

by Stingraysliv06

I just got a Notification telling me that I did not purchase lottery tickets I won in time, but I never received an email or notification on Hamilton … When I sent them the email they gave me a pre-written list of questions that are usually asked that was no help whatsoever.

Bad Apple:
The two elements of Hamilton that involve “gambling” are: 1) when the show was open, and when it reopens, a chance to win up to a pair of seats for $10 a ticket - hardly a gamble because no stakes are required, and a daily trivia contest - answer 3 questions for a maximum of 5 points per day, which can, along with purchased points, be used to buy “exclusive souvenirs” - this isn’t gambling - for the most part, it’s showing your friends you know more about the show and early US history than they do.
Or is it some parents might not want the kids winning a $10 ticket to a show when scalped tickets (the $10 tix cannot be scalped, photo ID is required) go for up to $1,000?
Or maybe they’re afraid there are still Anti-Federalists around.

So after the feedback I received and after updating my info and being more active on Hamilton (the trivia helped), I found notifications working better and I actually received one letting me know that I won the lottery. I liked having that notification as well as the email.

Hamilton is fun and an easy way to enter the lotteries, which is great! But I've had a few errors in the trivia game. Just now it asked how old Lafayette was at one point in the war (can't remember when), and the answer choices were all "January 18," "January 19," "January 20," and "January 21." That's weird already, but I chose January 19 cause I was pretty sure he was 19, and it told me I was wrong, but it said I had picked January 18 and that he was in fact 19.

The next one asked who said "Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?" I put Burr, because I remembered the next line was this app saying "sure, but your man has to answer for his words, Burr," but the game said I was wrong and that this app said it. Just some bugs to fix!

To start, I’d like to say Hamilton is pretty cool. I use it often but there are a few things I would like to say. First off, any Aaron Burr stickers? There are very few of them. But I have to admit it, the stickers are so cool! Also, the karaoke. This has to be my least favorite thing right now. There are only 8 songs and they’re not complete. It would be nice if you make them the full songs. Oh, and while you’re reading let me offer you some free advice! Add more songs. Anyways... thanks for reading this review!

this app is amazing and Hamilton is great. As a total fan, I would suggest this to all of my friends. The only suggestion I would make is to have more stickers and more things to do on Hamilton , and maybe be able to use the trivia without an account. Despite these things, it really is a great app for an AMAZING musical, so if you’re a fan, you should totally get Hamilton. Also, this musical completely changed my life (thx Lin!) and I’m so glad there is an app now🙂!!!

I mainly use Hamilton for the lottery (sadly I’ve never won, despite entering religiously for years, both when I lived in NYC and now in SF). My main complaint is that the lottery date/time does not include the day of the week (e.g. Sunday, Thursday, etc.) as far as I can see. It’s annoying having to toggle back to the calendar app to see if the show falls on a day that I don’t have to work. It seems like an easy fix that would make a big difference!

Whoever thought of the lottery is amazing. I’ve won 4x in a span of 6 months (entering once a week or so) though i’ve only gotten to go twice because if you don’t claim them quick within hours of winning, your loss. Well in those cases.. my loss. However I still have no complaints because Hamilton is seamless and easy to use. Love that they give people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford tickets a chance to learn a more arcane piece of the American story.

Today I was going to do my daily trivia but when I clicked on it, it said invalid trivia date.... why is this happening and is there a way to fix it?
Overall Hamilton is just amazing I love the way it’s set up and I just got Hamilton 2 days ago its already my favorite app on my phone!! Keep up the good work and please fix my problem😄😬

Hamilton is great! As a die-hard this app fan, I’m loving everything about it. Entering the lottery from Hamilton is easy and the Ham Cam filters and stickers are fun to use! Now I can keep up with this app related news and buy merchandise easier and more than ever before. Thank you for launching it!!
My only suggestion is about the trivia. I love the trivia so much and I even learned cool new things about the show I know and love. It’s even fun to test my knowledge. But you know how you get stars and streak bonuses for correct answers? I feel like these elements have no purpose. So my suggestion is that maybe when you have a certain amount of stars or a certain streak bonus, you can spend these items on things. For example, maybe a discount on your next piece of this app merchandise for 700 stars. Maybe you could even make a game where users can create an avatar and use it around a virtual 18th century Manhattan and you could use those stars and streak bonuses in the game! If that might be a little too hard to do then at least find a purpose for the stars. That would make Hamilton better than before. Thank you, and I enjoy Hamilton so much!!

$10 rickets is never going to happen. I haven’t Heard of anyone winning The lottery from
Anyone in my city. Unless you buy tickets for the astronomical price you’re not going to get into the show. If you can spend $400 per ticket no problem you’ll get in. But for 99% of America too bad, just wait for the tv musical. Save your time unless your rich.

If you’re wondering what happens when you win (my experience): I won the tickets, and had to purchase them before a certain time, so planning was extremely spontaneous. That’s the biggest problem: when you win, you have to buy the tickets for a show that happens then next day, so if you don’t have a super flexible schedule and finances to make the trip, then it might not be best to enter for lotteries. Anyways, I was able to make the trip and claim the tickets, even though I was under 18 (it says really clearly under the rules that you must be 18 but maybe they changed it). All I had to do was bring an ID that matched what I looked like and they let me get the tickets, no hassles. I was so surprised at how helpful and nice every single person I called with questions was, and I had a lot 😂. They answered them quickly and efficiently, so thank you. My seats were right in the front row, and almost in the middle. I’m not sure if we were just lucky or if every lottery winner gets good seats, but I was so pleased that my seats were together and so close to the stage. So, be prepared to plan a trip in a short amount of time and if you can, it is completely worth it!

We took our 70 year old sister to see the Play. She flew all the way from Pittsburgh,PA. We went to the evening show. She was enjoying herself and so were we. My sister fell asleep at the very end of the show. She slept through the final scene. We were so in gross in the play that we didn’t notice that she was sleep.

We feel so bad that she missed the ending. We want to take her again and make sure that she does not miss the ending again! I’m trying to win in the lottery to take her. We can’t afford to pay the regular price.

This play evoked so many emotions, and an experience that I’ll never forget. I had zero clue about this app’s life experiences and the major contributions he made in American history. I purchased everything after the show. I’m in love with this play. It’s brilliantly done and the music is phenomenal!😀

Thank you for the experience😘

I love Hamilton. Every day I do trivia to get stars. I’ve collected a lot of stars and think they are very cool. Here’s my issue. Before COVID happened you could use your starts to buy some merch. They took that feature away and now I can only use stars to get karaoke songs, stickers, and filters. While I think the star thing is cool, I was wondering when you will bring back the merchandise. But yeah I absolutely love this app. My friends and I went as the Schuyler Sisters for Halloween. Thanks for making this amazing app!

As a fan of history and Pop culture this app is a one of a kind musical it brings in all of your favorite things! I had the privilege to see the show but still had a yearning for more, when I heard about the this app app I was all over it. Some of the best parts of Hamilton are the News HamCam and Lotteries. this app is an amazing app for everyone not just this app fans. Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius and he has Beaufort out three things that we never imagined would make a Broadway stage hip hop history culture. This is a spectacular app and I would recommend downloading it.

Hamilton proved to be super useful for me! Once you get signed up, it is very simple to enter the lottery each day. I actually won, and our seats were second row in the dead center! We were shocked at how amazing the seats were! My only feedback would be to improve the notifications from Hamilton , I almost missed my opportunity because there wasn’t an email, text or notification. The only way I knew that I won was by manually going in and checking within Hamilton . Thank you so much and we really enjoyed the show!

The this app app is so easy to use there is no excuse to not enter the lottery. Once you save your name and preferences they will not need entered again unlike doing the lottery online. Every morning at 9 you receive a notification of the result of the last lottery. At 10 you receive another notification that it's time to play the next lottery. Just open the notification and hit the enter button. Done, you entered. Hamilton will save the last three notifications, too. It became a basic daily routine for me and after 4 months - we won.

I absolutely love Hamilton and everything this app. Go on it every day and really look forward to my 3 daily trivia questions. The only issue I have with it is that me and my girlfriend do the trivia every day and would really like the option to go back and look at the questions and the correct answers after we do them. We compete every day for who can get the most right and find it really frustrating remembering what the questions were when discussing it. Other than that though, fantastic app. Love the stickers love the hamcam and love all the other features as well. Definitively one of my favorite apps on my phone.

In my experience, it is very easy to win tickets to this app with Hamilton! I won a total of 4 tickets in the span of 9 months. Unfortunately, when I won the first 2 tickets (at the same time) I did not have notifications on, so I diddn’t claim the tickets in time😢. But about 5 months later I won another 2 tickets and watched this app live on stage with someone i love very much. Also, at least from this experience, the worst seats we could have won would be second row seats! Guaranteed second row or first row seats? Thats what im talkin’ about! We got lucky and got frist row seats. Those seats cost about 1400 dollars EACH!!! And we only had to pay $10 per ticket. If you play everyday, you probably will win at least once a year. As the king would sarcastically say, Goodluck!

I like Hamilton a lot but I CAN NOT STAND the karaoke!! I got Hamilton because I wanted the karaoke and the quizzes and the lottery, but the karaoke disappointed me greatly. I was thinking that it was going to have all the songs that were full length and have all of the songs but it doesn’t. It has like 6 songs and only 30 seconds of them. Also, what can you do with the stars and lightning? And could there possibly be more trivia? Over all, the stickers mostly make up for it. The stickers are amazing!!! But... what about other characters? Are more coming? Please think about adding all the this app songs and more trivia. If you are looking at this to see whether to get it, you should. This makes Hamilton sound so bad but it’s actually really good! And, if you don’t like it, it’s completely free (unless you win... then it’s $10 for the ticket) Thanks for reading this and I hope you can make the changes!
