### 1/5 — Pointless app. Don’t bother downloading!

*2025-04-21, version 3.0*

This app is totally worthless. It doesn’t work. It sometimes lets you in with your password, then minutes later it decides it’s wrong. 
Even when you can get into the app, the booking is confusing, and it’s impossible to book treatments or do anything, it just says to phone. 
There’s literally no point to this app, and it seems like nobody has worked on it since I last tried to use it years ago!

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2025-04-07, version 3.0*

Tried to book a class the app did not show the following day only the day after, would not let me book another class and now it also looks like a charge for aqua fit which was always free ,it cost enough to stay here !
App is just plain awful who designed this !

### 1/5 — Completely pointless

*2025-03-12, version 3.0*

Why can’t you add a booking in the app?! What a completely useless app and a waste of space on my phone. Surely Champneys are worth enough to invest in some technology that works! Shocking!

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-03-03, version 3.0*

I just made a booking and downloaded the app after receiving the confirmation email. I can’t figure out how to log in but added details of my booking and there’s no information at all. What is this app even for?

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-01-15, version 3.0*

No updates or links to visit (if booked)

### 1/5 — Someone let the intern loose

*2024-12-31, version 3.0*

Looks like it was made by the work experience kid. And is completely not functional.

### 1/5 — What even is it trying to do?

*2024-11-05, version 3.0*

Bizarre app, with totally mysterious aims. Doesn’t offer any ability to log in and view my booking, let alone add treatments to it. Clicking on ‘Bookings’ goes to a message centre with no messages - given I can’t link it to my account or my booking, who’s going to message me about anything? It’s labelled as a Henlow booking app but then says it’s for bookings at City spas and Eastwell … what’s this app even attempting to be? Mystery. 
Remarkably, it makes the Champneys webpage for bookings seem halfway decent, which it is not, so that’s something I suppose.

### 1/5 — Totally useless

*2024-10-20*

This is the worst app I’ve ever used. Crashes constantly, doesn’t show booking information. I’ll not waste anymore time on it

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-09-18, version 3.0*

This app could be great, but isn’t. 
The menus and booking process is clunky, and doesn’t appear to have considered how customers might want to use the app to find treatments. 
Phone the central booking team instead of hoping this app will help you make a booking or see the ones you have

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-06-12, version 3.0*

Not worth the seconds it took to download. You literally can’t do anything. Made a booking and then tried to find it in the app and it just says no messsge. Wanted to book our treatments but we had already paid for them in advance,again no way of doing that so basically it’s worthless

### 1/5 — Can’t book treatment

*2024-05-09, version 3.0*

I click on treatments in the App and get nowhere.
Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Feels like it was made as a high school project

*2024-04-12, version 3.0*

I made a booking online. I downloaded the app assuming I could add the booking and maybe book classes or something. I got the app. Clicked booking and instead of the usual import booking or sign into account it just says message centre. No messages. Wow. Then I wanted to update my password. I have everything saved through Apples keychain. So I’m just copying it from there. When I tried to use their other app that lets me log in, I can log in through the browser but the app says the email doesn’t even exist when I’m literally looking at that account on my laptop. Whoever codes this should not be working here. Do better.

### 1/5 — Plain and simple doesn’t work.

*2024-02-22, version 3.0*

It just doesn’t work. The treatment availability is completely different to what the website says, which is completely different again to what the staff can see their end. If you do select a treatment (which is a surprisingly tricky thing to do if you don’t want the default) it won’t actually let you pay for it! Why?! Time to find a better developer, Champneys.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-02-07, version 3.0*

Just doesn’t work! 
Hardly any features

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-01-02, version 2.1*

Booked traatment and classes through this for forest mere , money taken out of my account but when I arrived they had no booking for me. Had to ask for a refund. Don’t bother book direct. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2023-11-05, version 2.1*

This app is terrible. It is hard to navigate and frequently shows no availability on treatments which are shown as available on the website. You have to scroll down repeatedly to book more than a few weeks ahead and it frequently resets taking you back to the start again. Argh! Considering champneys claim to be all about relaxing this app is seriously stressful! It needs a major rework. Would give no stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-06-22, version 3.0*

Doesn’t work - Eastwell manor classes don’t appear so can’t prebook.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-29, version 3.0*

Can’t believe a premium brand such as Champneys has such a useless app!

### 1/5 — 1 star too generous

*2026-02-19, version 3.0*

This app and this company are a complete joke. Impossible to book and when you book trying to redeem vouchers it doesn’t let you, total scam! They don’t ever answer the phone, impossible to speak to anyone, they take a week to respond to emails and forget what they’ve spoken to you about in the previous email. The app is awful and their facilities are run down.

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2026-01-09, version 3.0*

Awful app! Can’t book the treatment that’s supposed to be included with my stay. Finding an available time is a nightmare. Just poor.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-15, version 3.0*

The app doesn’t work. There’s no information & no way to book on the app like the phone lines say.

### 1/5 — App is useless

*2025-11-10, version 3.0*

As other users have pointed out already - this App is pointless, as you cannot add your booking. The problem is that emails from Champneys link you to this App. But the App doesn’t work. Very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Pretty but not working

*2025-10-01, version 3.0*

Unfortunately this app is not designed well. One would expect top notch app from the luxurious brand but alas no. One wonders how’s their service on site? Do we dare try?

### 1/5 — The worse app I ever seen

*2025-07-15, version 3.0*

You can’t manage your booking, it’s absolutely pointless. Such a big corporation but communication department need a lot improvement. Not possible to get someone over the phone either. Drastically disappointing

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2025-05-25, version 3.0*

Member cannot book in

### 1/5 — Poor app with no features

*2025-05-22, version 3.0*

The app is poor quality and doesn’t allow you log in or see bookings etc not worth downloading currently

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love the loyalty scheme

*2023-07-26, version 2.1*

I use the app to book my treatments and get loyalty points!

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2021-04-10, version 1.6*

Great way to book for my local spa, always great treatments at St Albans spa.

### 5/5 — Straightforward booking

*2021-04-07, version 1.6*

Easy to use app - booked in all treatments for a future visit. Much preferred to leaving until arrived for visit.

### 5/5 — Easy a get app

*2021-04-01, version 1.6*

Great  so easy to use , can’t wait booked my treatments when opens in the next weeks

### 5/5 — Booking with ease

*2021-03-31, version 1.6*

I found the App very user friendly and made booking my extras nice and easy. No waiting on a phone or for a reply to an email. I would definitely use it again in the future.

### 5/5 — Forest Mere

*2021-03-31, version 1.6*

Amazing service and really useful app 

Great for booking classes and treatments before you arrive. 

Highly recommend using the app before arriving at the resort

### 3/5 — Champneys Spa App not great 👎🏻

*2024-02-16, version 3.0*

I have downloaded the app to book a class for my break there… I didn’t have all of the info so wanted to go back a page - not able to & could change the page I was on.  I had to delete the app to start again now I’m on my 3rd attempt - I’ll just call them

### 3/5 — Needs iPhone X support

*2021-08-26, version 1.6*

Hello,
This app could benefit from switching on the support for full-screen iPhones, as the text currently can get lost. There’s some kind of switch in xcode to enable this. Thanks :-)

### 2/5 — Terrible! Fix it CHAMPNEYS!!

*2025-09-03, version 3.0*

When trying to book treatments, mostly says I have no connection. Theres an error showing classes. Not to mention the awful UX… CHAMPNEYS… sort it out!!! You charge us enough for the stays / treatments / classes now!!!

### 2/5 — Improvement Needed

*2024-06-02, version 3.0*

The app doesn’t let you add your booking in and doesn’t let you filter searches by date so when booking in advance you need to scroll through all the previous dates to get to yours for every treatment which gets tedious. The app doesn’t allow you to make multiple appointments in the same time slot so when booking for yourself and a partner or friend you are forced to either book different timed appointments and then wait around or do what we ended up doing which is downloading the app on two separate devices so we could book treatments for the same time slot. They should also allow you to filter for the gender of the therapist as it isn’t always obvious from the name.
