I was worried when I saw all the negative reviews but so far this app does exactly what I need.
The whole “Daxko Mobile” naming is kinda weird but at least it changes its own app icon once you select your YMCA, so you can recognize the app on your phone.
It has schedules and, if you want, notifications about closures and cancellations. That’s helpful (adjust app notification settings to your own preference, I guess).
But it excels at the one thing I really need from it: as I’m walking up to the Y, I pull out my phone and there’s a well-timed notification waiting for me so I can simply tap to open the barcode to scan in. This is SO helpful. I try to keep my pockets as empty as possible, especially when headed to the gym. So being able to easily sign in with my phone instead of carrying an extra card on my person 24/7 is really appreciated.
Maybe they fixed the bugs that everyone complained about? Or I haven’t experienced them yet. Either way, it’s been great so far.
