Can’t get to AARP App
Keeps cycling between AARP Now, and OPEN. When I hit OPEN, it goes back to AARP Now. Frustrating.
My AARP apt
this is a great apt i'm glade i down loaded it.
Not iPad Enabled
App is definitely not iPad enabled which is ludicrous. Attempting to use app on an iPad is an exercise in frustration. Suggest updating this to both iPhone/iPad ASAP.
Problems loading games ads never stop
I have this app on my android phone and it works beautifully there. On my iPad I get endless ads while opening games and the games will not open. It seems to be stuck in a loop.
The other aspects of app seem functional. The informational articles can’t be beat.

Nice app, but no longer updates on my iPad
Disappointing that developers keep “improving” apps even when they’ve worked well all along, and suddenly no longer works on my iPad without the required update. Seniors don’t need ALL the bells and whistles to be happy with an app designed for the over 55 crowd.
It’s fine
Easy
Enough to use. Can track points and see benefits l.

Poor
While AARP claims to be a advocate for retirees and those of us who are older they create a app update that requires the latest smartphones and cannot be used for anything older. Not many of us (the people that they claim to care about) can afford to buy the latest phones. I have contacted AARP about this issue and have been just blown off.

Lousy App and poor interfaces
This app is beyond low quality.
1. I cannot use it in airplane mode.
2. The app wants to connect to the “mother ship”, all the time violating my privacy.
3. I cannot play games on it when my cellular data is off. The games retain no memory if you want yo catch up later. Even free games apps, keep up the memory, provide you opportunities for preventing ads. Unfortunately, the aarp app doesn’t allow any of that, despite sucking up membership dollars.
4. The app frequently logs me out, and after I log back in does not retain my settings, making me start all over again.
5. Many apps after you pay for services will not bother you with more advertising. Unlike them, even though one pays for AARP membership, the app strings in poor seniors who have already paid for AARP membership with more sucker ads. AARP is supposed to protect seniors from exploitation. Instead in my mind the AARP app appears to exploit the very seniors it claims to respect and protect.
4. App support is left to some stupid automatic response engine , whose responses leave the user frustrated.
Enuff said. AARP is designed to be exploitative (why peddle ads to members through games who have already paid) , and frankly frustrating.

Install
Install doesn’t work when you click on the link. You have to keep going to the App Store to get the link and it only gives you an option to open the app, never installs. You need to update the install link so it actually works!
Value
I get a lot of information that I really need from the articles I’ve read in AARP’s newsletter. I also get discounts that more than pay for themselves and cover more than what I pay to become and stay a member. I recommend the membership!
This may seem petty…
I open the app and get a pop up on that shows I have earned rewards for logging in. I click on “do not show this again” link in the pop up. The very next time I open the app I get the pop up again showing me how many daily log in points I’ve earned with the “dont show this again” link in the pop up. What is the point of offering to not show the pop up again if it just comes up again? I don’t like pop ups in general and the fact that the “don’t show this again” option does absolutely nothing taints my user experience.

Rental car codes not working
Keep saying code is wrong
Good app
Great benefits
Informed
You really need to do research to understand all that is offered,
Fabulous & Informative!
One of the few apps that have a target audience of over 50, that actually enhances our knowledge, abilities, and intelligence!
6th generation iPad doesn’t have 18.0
Apple provided a 17th generation update unexpectedly, but it’s not supported by AARP app, have to buy new iPad just to read AARP news…
Logs me out, not a good app
I’m new here. I’m not impressed with the App at all. It’s 2026, it should be better than this. I’m 57 and reasonably tech savvy. I wouldn’t recommend it to my parents. Doesn’t even get the basic functionality down. I reconfigured my dashboard to show what I want. It reset to default. I do the crosswords and by the time I finish (15-30 minutes) it logs me out so it doesn’t recognize which ones I’ve done. It doesn’t recognize my login. The website is a LITTLE better but not by much.

Too many offers and ads
Not impressed. This app has too much going on and slows down my iPad. Locks up for no reason, tried on different platforms. Trying to navigate is just frustrating. And no way to contact the App Developers
Im dropping it all

Add to Apple Wallet not working
The Add to Apple Wallet feature for the AARP membership card is STILL not working. Members have lodged complaints about this for at least 2 years. Very frustrating.
Apple wallet
Can’t add my card to Apple wallet. The button is INOP.
