User reviews

I love this app

This is how I keep informed on so many topics not just Social Security and Medicare but many other topics that we may not think about every day but have an effect on our daily lives. AARP helps to me expand my knowledge about things l need to enrich my life as a senior citizen. Thanks AARP.

Crashes a lot and features don’t work

AARP has never been able to get an app that consistently works. It crashes all the time, logged me out and then won’t let in, and many of the menus do not work. Even when it does work it’s very slow.

Travel Center hard to find info

Good deals, but finding your bookings on Expedia is a process and frustrating.

Worse app ever

I created a user and password verified through my email and then could not get on to the app.

Great content. Poor functionality.

The app has a lot of interesting and useful information and resources. The functionality leaves a lot to be desired. It’s very glitchy and the navigation is not intuitive. I signed up for the 30-day fitness challenge and have to search for it every time I want to do a workout. Signed up for a free AI course— good luck trying to find and launch it! When I did find it, it didn’t recognize that I was enrolled — until I enrolled again and it said “it looks like you’re already enrolled!” Umm…thanks? On that note, it keeps the annoying “enroll in auto renewal”banner persistent and it often follows your progress down the page, blocking content. It should recognize that I’m enrolled and leave me alone. Lastly, you can add another member to your account, so I added my husband. Or tried to. When I submitted his info, I got a message saying the name couldn’t be the same as mine. Huh? Closed that window of nonsense and tried again next day — his name was on the account. Sigh….

All in all, if you can tolerate and navigate around the nonsense it’s excellent content and worth the membership. Some things work better on a desktop or laptop and I’m sure the app will catch up eventually. I just feel bad for those folks that aren’t tech savvy because it’s gonna get old fast — no pun intended.
