Yes, please: not being rude, but so far I haven't found any use for Todaytix at all, never once having won their wretched lottery despite practically needing to sell my soul in terms of personal info in order to enter.
So for instance, does the new version allow more privacy in this respect? And what does the site offer that buying online or in person from a theatre doesn't?

In terms of the lotteries, it appears they will be working the same as they always have been, with the added bonus that it actually has a set closing time when you click on the show. One of the bits of feedback I have given is the whole "never winning" issues haha. One of the new features is actually a map feature. If you click on the map option, a map of London, with all the undergrounds and everything will pop up, and key locations for showd like Piccadilly and Covent Garden will have an arrow that says "10 shows" or "7 shows" for example. This will mean that you will be able to get info on distance and locations of shows if you are not familiar with London faster and easier. Also, if you ha e to rush from a matinee to an evening show, you can choose based on location and distance which show you see rsther than chance it. |

Also notable (sorry, learning as i go along), you can create a list of shows you want to see so that you have a record of shows on there to keep you reminded of what shows and when they are running. Thisnis done simply by clicking a little icon next to the show and it will move it to your list. |

If you can, please feed back to them that it would be nice to choose seats from their selection, or at least specify you would like an aisle seat, so they can allocate you one if available. It would save me the hassle of having about three different versions of the app running to try and get me an aisle. I know they probably think they're giving me their best seats but I always want an aisle at the expense of having the better view.
The making a list of shows you want to see does seem a good idea.

I have won their lottery on a few occasions, usually mid-week though. Hey danieljohnson14 , more feedback from me too: It would be good if when entering a lottery you can set an 'auto buy' option on. In the past I've entered for an evening lottery and then gone off to see a matinee. You are then left hoping that if you win the lottery, the timings work out so that the matinee interval coincides with the time they pick winners and you get a chance to accept the lottery win and pay for the ticket. I get that sometimes people enter multiple lotteries or enter but aren't sure if they actually want the ticket; however if you only enter one lottery and are certain you want to buy they ticket if you win, then it would make a lot of sense to be able to tick a box that says 'auto accept - if I win this lottery, then automatically accept and pay for my tickets'. |

I hope the new version of the app doesn't add loads of needless extras that make it bloated and slow to load on older phones. Too many apps do this - I like the fact that TodayTix app is relatively simple. For example, that map feature sounds like the kind of idea that looks cute and clever, but has limited use.

It doesn't love, it loads exactly the same as the original, my mine anyway. |
