### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-07-17*

I’m able to log in, but then it directs to the “Select Your Club” page and has nothing I can select. I’ve tried closing the app and re-logging in multiple times, and had the same result.

### 1/5 — Update failure

*2024-11-18, version 3.16.3*

App opens, shows blank screen with refresh arrow in center. Nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-05-05, version 3.16.3*

Apps broken. Stuck on choose club screen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, no login screen

*2023-12-07*

I have used the older version of the CAC app for probably 6-7 years. Suddenly stopped working, tried to download these “new” ones and I can’t even get a login screen to appear on the latest iPhone iOS. So frustrating when trying to book and pay for classes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me past the sign in page

*2023-10-02, version 3.16.3*

it freezes after I sign in , useless app

### 5/5 — My home away from home

*2022-12-31*

This is my third place and I cherish it.

### 5/5 — Awesome Customer Service!

*2022-03-23, version 3.11.1*

Awesome
Customer service

### 1/5 — Notifications won’t go away

*2022-02-09*

This app is incredibly clunky and now it’s constantly showing notifications that don’t disappear. Even when I turn them off.

### 5/5 — Calendar view

*2022-01-04*

Please add the ability to see a days group class schedule at a glance- all clubs combined. That would be helpful for people who go to multiple club locations.

### 5/5 — Happy Place!
