### 5/5 — ATX Swims

*2026-07-10, version 1.0.11*

We love our Austin swimming spots. The app is super easy to use!!!

### 1/5 — App not showing bought ticket

*2026-07-06, version 1.0.11*

Twice I've tried using the app to buy a day pass and both times it charges me but doesn't show the ticket anywhere in the app!

### 2/5 — Too many clicks

*2026-07-05, version 1.0.11*

The whole payment process here is remarkably inefficient. Things that should take one tap took 3 to 5.  The experience of purchasing a ticket takes two minutes.

### 2/5 — Poor usability

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.11*

If this were a private company it would have gone out of business. Takes multiple taps, swipes, etc. to buy tickets, then activate them. Too cumbersome, too many steps. Cannot add tickets to Apple wallet or use Apple Watch. Still requires a vigilant yet reasonable city employee to manage pool access.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-03-24, version 1.0.11*

Great site, easy to navigate! In

### 1/5 — Can’t buy day pass for Barton Springs

*2026-03-20, version 1.0.11*

Was forced to download the app to buy a day-pass and you can’t even buy it through the app. Only season passes are available

### 3/5 — App is good but not perfect

*2026-02-19, version 1.0.10*

I’m happy to have this app and the ability to order swim passes online. They took eight days for me to get the purchase complete.. when I went to the shopping cart that kept giving me an error.  I phoned the Aquatics Office and reported the problem. First, I was told to make sure that my credit card was on file. It was. I was told the person who could address it was not there, and I was told he’d be in the next day. I requested a follow up and got nothing of that nature. I called again two days later. A lovely woman named Joy assisted me. We entered a different credit card (though the first one is valid). Then, the app finally worked. 

It seems that the app is Primitive and doesn’t give good error messages. And the follow up from PARD is typical.

### 1/5 — Add deep eddy

*2025-08-03, version 1.0.8*

Add deep eddy

### 1/5 — 2 yrs of issues with this app

*2025-07-27, version 1.0.8*

I’ve had problems with this app for 2 years. I bought several passes and they don’t show up on the app. Getting refunded by the city has never happened.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2025-07-08, version 1.0.7*

Pathetic
