### 2/5 — Issues

*2026-03-03, version 1.2.3*

Not able to sign in!

### 1/5 — won’t work

*2026-03-01, version 1.2.2*

can’t get the app to work keeps telling me to put in my location and i go to settings and they are all turned on. So frustrating

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2026-02-13, version 1.1.6*

After logging in it asks if I want notifications, and when I agree I'm taken to a screen that tells me to turn on location services. But the app isn't listed under location services setting and I can't get past the "turn on location services" screen in the app.

### 4/5 — Needs Usability

*2025-03-19, version 1.1.4*

Love the tournament, love the app.  Just needs usability features to increase text size with phone settings so it can be read without reading glasses that are not on hand when at the tournament.

### 1/5 — Not easy to transfer tickets

*2025-03-15, version 1.1.4*

The app is NOT user friendly nor the website.
Moreover, the help is a bad robot, very annoying.
It is a shame since the tickets are very expensive and this app does not live up to the standard and hurts the overall experience.

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever used!

*2025-03-15, version 1.1.4*

What were you thinking?

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2025-03-06, version 1.1.3*

This app used to be so easy to use now it is just a tool to monetize you. I have to send an email to verify me because I want to follow a player. Give me a break.

### 3/5 — Confusing

*2025-02-25, version 1.1.1*

It asks to send me a text message but wasn’t obvious my phone number was already entered and you can touch anywhere to confirm the number.

### 1/5 — Technical difficulties

*2024-09-02, version 1.0.12*

Unable to access link to tickets, either on my laptop or iPhone or iPad. Laptop says can’t do and takes me to other AXS events. iPad asks me to enter a code, and there is no code that is sent to me, on either of my two emails that they’re aware of. Nor is there an exit or other way out. 

iPhone takes me back to downloading the new app. Terribly frustrating and terrible. The tournament brings in $1 billion, I read, and they can’t spent a few dollars to make technology work right.

Very sincerely,

Bob Tobias

### 4/5 — Food & Drink Prices (Fail)

*2024-04-08, version 1.0.11*

Tournament is fantastic but make sure you eat and drink before you go food and beer prices are ridiculous

### 4/5 — Simple is better

*2024-04-07*

I used last year and this year’s AP daily. There were a few features this year that didn’t work for me. One, I never was able to select my favorite players. I tried restarting and reinstalling and neither worked. I use AP for daily schedule for matches. I don’t remember ever seeing daily schedule for activities around the grounds. Several times the practice schedule was incorrect, but I am guessing that’s not the AP issue. Last the timing of the release just a few days prior to start of tournament was not ideal. Overall, the ticket feature, schedule, and scores are what I find most useful.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-03-10, version 1.2.4*

Downloaded the app created an account got to be location services screen, and was unable to get past it. No scroll no escape when I went to location services in Settings the app wasn’t there. Deleted the app started over the same thing.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-03-08, version 1.2.3*

I can’t get past the location services screen. After deleting and restarting multiple times, the app will not move past it.

### 1/5 — Aggravated!

*2026-03-08, version 1.2.3*

Could not get it to work, was stuck on Location Services! So aggravating!

### 1/5 — App won’t open it is stuck

*2026-03-07, version 1.2.3*

App can’t get past the page that asks for location settings.  Unusable.

### 1/5 — BNP App

*2026-03-07, version 1.2.3*

App does not work goes to Notifications screen and won’t go further

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-03-06, version 1.2.3*

Font so big doesn’t fit on screen making it illegible and unusable.

### 1/5 — Freezes or crashes

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.3*

Trying to get notifications and keeps crashing.  Is it all or nothing now for notifications?!?!  I don’t want every one; let us choose! 👎

### 1/5 — Location services glitch

*2026-03-04*

Even with this latest update, the app still doesn’t allow you to get past the request to allow location services screen. Evidently at that stage, the app is still not loaded fully into the system because when you go to grant location services, it does not appear in the app list. No way around this. Please fix the glitch, the tournament has started.

### 1/5 — Locks on Location Services!

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.3*

When I load the app and go through setup, it locks up on a screen telling me to turn on Location Services. They are on, and I’m on a iPhone 16 pro. I’ve deleted and reinstalled 4 times - same problem every time!

### 1/5 — App is unusable

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.3*

Just downloaded the app to prepare for the tournament. It asks me to turn on location services (but the app is not on the list) and then it is just frozen there. I have closed and reopened it several times and it just won’t open.

Can’t get past the location services. Glitched. Can login and then can’t use the app

### 5/5 — Lifesaver App

*2025-03-07*

It was our first time at BNP Paribas and this app navigated our time there with ease.  I love that tickets are integrated with the app and you can see who's playing and practicing in real time so you can prioritize.  Highly recommend downloading this app.

I was purchasing tickets on line and was texting Alex , shout out to Alex for answering ALL my questions .. So incredibly helpful ..Thank you .. Looking forward to coming back next year !!!

### 5/5 — BNP Paribas App was amazing.

*2024-04-06*

Anything you needed to know both before arrival and during the tournament could be found easily by whipping out your phone or tablet and going to the correct tab. So easy to use. It’s a busy two-week tournament with action on every court all day and evening long. We used it to plan out our day at Indian Wells Tennis Paradise. The app did not let us down.

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate

Scores quickly updated. Easy to find whatever is you’re looking for. Excellent app.

We look forward to BNP Paribas every year. The Indian Wells tennis gardens is so beautiful and the whole event beautifully organized. Our favorite thing to do every Spring.

### 5/5 — BNP App

*2024-04-06, version 1.0.11*

I really liked the updated BNP App.
I was able to see the daily schedules and times of the matches.  I could also watch the matches on the App if they wasn’t there.
