### 4/5 — Pretty good…once you get past verification!

*2026-06-08, version 3.4.83*

Not much wrong with the app, QR code can be a bit funny sometimes when scanning but that could be down to the machines. Only problem is the most poorly designed verification process in history. But if you make it past that, you’re golden.

### 1/5 — I’d check

*2026-03-13, version 3.4.70*

I’m not happy to scan my id with all detail on it picture of face should be enough or verify by staff

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-02-15, version 3.4.64*

You need the app to sign up but the video doesn’t work and the app keeps crashing. Therefore, I can’t sign up. It’s a good way to lose business before someone even steps foot in the studio/shop

### 1/5 — Can’t even get past verification

*2026-01-25, version 3.4.64*

Camera flips round everytime I go to record myself saying the phrase and there’s no way to turn it back 😂 I shall just go to another tanning salon in the area.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-09-01, version 2.1.4*

This app is so bad, it freezes constantly and you have to delete it and start over again to register.

### 1/5 — Gave up

*2025-05-03, version 2.1.4*

Took it as a sign I’m not supposed to use sunbeds! Tried to register three times and each time at the verification stage it just froze uninstalled reinstall the app same thing kept happening so I’ve given up

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-03-02, version 2.1.4*

Terrible app can't add any credit on to my account

### 1/5 — Camera option

*2025-02-28, version 2.1.4*

When I have to take a picture to submit my id it will never focus on it and makes any pictures blurry for me and my camera is completely fine when it’s not on the app

### 1/5 — Wow

*2025-02-02, version 2.1.4*

Absolutely terrible tried and failed to set it all up you’d think I was going to rent a Lear jet not idea sunbed absolutely terrible

### 1/5 — Data breach galore

*2024-12-31, version 2.1.3*

What Galore doesn’t tell you is that not only do they want a picture of your face, but they also want a picture of your ID PLUS, and I hope you’re sitting down for this, they also want your voice recognition by asking you to repeat a sentence! 

Of course they tell you that your data is safe and I’m confident they will even respond to this review but seriously, where do you think they’re making money from if it’s not your data because I can assure you it isn’t from sunbeds! 

Reply or not, you only have to google ‘data breaches’ to see it’s an accident waiting to happen. 

I want 7mins on a sunbed…. Not access to the latest NASA technology!!! Wake up guys

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-11-24, version 2.1.3*

Very glitchy app, won’t initialise camera from the video screen and freezes when confirming identify.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-11-23, version 2.1.3*

I’d probably love the app if it worked

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2024-10-13, version 2.1.3*

Had to download the app three times to get it to even vaguely work. I have now entered my details to try and set up an account five times without success.  App keeps freezing during the verification process despite me force quitting every other app on my phone and restarting the handset. When the app accesses the video camera to record the spoken statement you have to be standing on the surface of the sun otherwise the video is too dark - to the point of being almost black. When you take a photo of your ID it doesn’t know what camera lens to use on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and you cannot pinch zoom or choose a different zoom lens. The result is that if you align the ID edges to the box it’s hopelessly out of focus. If you move the phone away from the ID to reach the focal point when the text is sharp, it’s too far away to be read. If you can fool the app enough to fudge your way through these stages, then when you click on the ‘verify email’ link it just doesn’t work, and keeps saying that your email isn’t verified even though you clicked on it and it takes you from your email back into the app. In fact this app singularly fails at every single thing it’s supposed to do. Still can’t verify my account to complete the process, so I cannot use the company’s facilities. You’ve lost a customer, because your app DOES NOT WORK.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work /register

*2024-08-01, version 2.1.3*

Gets stuck each time on the ID section. Have tried numerous times.

### 2/5 — Update of App

*2023-10-05, version 2.0.5*

I now cannot log on normally new one will not open  and l have to go through your website to log on and there is where l cannot see all my points 
I’ve lost all my loyalty points 
How can l get them back ?

### 3/5 — Changed top up

*2022-03-27, version 1.0.40*

Don’t like the way they have changed but Credits can’t just top up , without buying one of their offers , change it back

### 2/5 — Can’t login

*2022-02-11, version 1.0.38*

Trying to use the app for the 1st time but it won’t Allow to  log in  saying it doesn’t recognise the email address I only have one. Have checked  junk mail

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Please avoid

*2026-08-12, version 3.4.83*

This company think they can suspend your account without refunding your credit, its happened twice now the first time i got wrongly accused of mistreating the rooms and i had £92 credit on my account, it took them 3 weeks to give me a explanation and they decided to unblock my account, few months later happens again while i got  £30 credit on there, sent me a email saying im banned for 3 months but no talk about refunding me, apparently i was having a conversation with a women in there who always makes conversation and took something the wrong way and got offended, a bit pathetic to be honest as they instigate the personal conversation, i just want to have my sunbed as not interested in how they are, but anyway got banned for something very minor so im just warning everyone from my experience please dont buy credit to top up your account as if you get suspended for what ever reason you will never get it back, maybe im just unlucky but im not happy with this treatment

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-06-27, version 3.4.83*

I find it absolutely ridiculous how many things you have to do just to get logged into the app, video record yourself, photograph yourself, photo your ID. Is there nothing we can keep private now? 
I understand security checks but come on!

### 1/5 — App is hitched with problems

*2026-06-17, version 3.4.83*

I get told I have an old phone! I have an iPhone 16pro and it’s 4 months old!!! The app is hopeless. I don’t get OTP it doesn’t work! The app just buffers continuously. Please FIX THE APP!!!!!!! 17th June 2026.

### 1/5 — verification

*2026-06-09, version 3.4.83*

it wont give me a code for a phone number verification and when i press resend code it just kicks me off the app? i cant call the number they provided because my microphone is broke.

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2026-05-26, version 3.4.83*

App never works.Never a human around. Lots of trying to find a parking space, walking for ages and all for computer says no

### 1/5 — Loss of internet connection while on the bed.

*2026-05-17, version 3.4.82*

While a few minutes into my 12 minute sunbed, it turned off due to no internet connection in store. After calling the helpline and being told i’d be refunded, they only refunded me 6 minutes. 

A waste of time driving down, fuel and sunbed cream.  You’d think they had some better customer service for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Worst sign up process ever

*2026-04-30, version 3.4.74*

Easily the worst sign up process ever. I tried five or six times, taking pictures of myself, all sorts of different angles, pictures, video, ID. It breaks down at the end, it says it’s not appropriate, you do it, you do it perfectly, it doesn’t work. Absolute rubbish, honestly. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Oh dear…..

*2026-04-25, version 3.4.74*

Downloaded app, verified, tried to buy credit…nope, it won’t let me. Reinstalled app etc…still won’t let me buy credits.
W A ‘n’ K app. Lost customer.

### 1/5 — App needs sorting out

*2026-04-22, version 3.4.74*

The app keeps logging you out for no apparent reason, then never sends the OTP when requested.

### 1/5 — Flaky app

*2026-04-12, version 3.4.70*

The studios are great but the app is shocking! Every time I visit to login again which fails all over again always takes me 15 minutes
