### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2022-10-15, version 5.112*

Please save card details or allow Apple Pay else then whole app is rather pointless as may as well just do it online

### 1/5 — Must be an annual thing..

*2022-03-07, version 5.50*

The app now don’t open at all.. tap on it and it sort of comes to life then just closes and you go back to your Home Screen 🤪

### 1/5 — Poor

*2022-02-28, version 5.50*

Very poor. Some of the functionality just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2021-12-28, version 5.50*

I have used this app happily for ages but after the recent update none of the links worked. I deleted the app hoping downloading it anew would help and you can’t even log in now!! Worse than useless. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Utterly worthless app

*2021-04-24, version 4.76*

I am not sure of the point of this app as it doesn’t work! Despite my login details working through safari, everytime I try to login through the app, it says login failed and locks me out.

### 1/5 — Simply doesn't work I'm afraid

*2021-04-13, version 4.76*

How do I book the children's pool in Teddington? It's not an option. How do I book a badminton court in Whitton? Page doesn't exist. Best get rid of this app until it works. Shame.

### 2/5 — Has stopped working since last update

*2020-11-23, version 4.76*

App worked fine for me, I was happy with it and then last week there was an update and now it doesn’t work at all - no pictures. No links. Nothing

### 1/5 — Waste of time you cannot actually book

*2020-09-20, version 4.61*

You can review the swimming sessions but there is no button to book and make a payment.

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2020-09-14, version 4.61*

Just completely unable to login. Really annoying as I like being able to use an app to book sessions

### 1/5 — John Blissett-Turner

*2020-09-13, version 4.61*

Got a letter saying must be booked, the app was suggested on the letter yet pools on the park is not yet available on the app?? 😡

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-09-12, version 4.61*

Doesn’t work at all. Completely frustrating

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-10-06, version 107.99*

Can't book many sports.

### 1/5 — Why is the pool timetable always so hard to find?

*2024-08-29, version 107.99*

Want to see a pool timetable before randomly clicking dates to see if I can book

### 1/5 — App

*2023-07-03, version 5.112*

Not really surprised at a unsuccessful app made in connection with the council…….

### 1/5 — booking system

*2023-06-09, version 5.112*

booking system, aint straight forward,
then they charge you £2 for not turning up,
if they havent justified payin £10 for a swim anyway,   richmond swimming pool what a rip of for people out of your borough

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-05-06, version 5.112*

Despite several visits to the leisure centre snd email correspondence I continue to be unable to use this app.

### 1/5 — Mr T

*2023-05-01, version 5.112*

This app is awful

### 1/5 — Registration

*2023-04-24, version 5.112*

Terrible site for getting registered.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-02-21, version 5.112*

The system doesn’t join up very well with your account and logs you out every time. You can make bookings and then not have any access to them. There is no facility to use the Richmond card either… as far as I can see

### 1/5 — Why can’t I change my password?

*2023-01-31, version 5.112*

I can never log in or change my password

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-01-13, version 5.112*

It’s useless. Password recovery requires you to know your membership number….

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Payment

*2023-06-19, version 5.112*

Generally very user friendly. Would be helpful not to have to re input card details every time

### 5/5 — Water

*2022-08-22, version 5.112*

Water always the right temperature for me.

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2025-08-06, version 108.41*

The app is really good. Clean. Fast. Handy to find swim sessions. I just wish it took ApplePay. The payment flow is really annoying!

### 4/5 — Bank details

*2024-04-12, version 107.17*

No where to store Acc details

### 4/5 — Good to book.

*2022-08-24, version 5.112*

Easy to book at any time you want. Not possible to swap days or sell back the ticket at least not possible yet.

### 3/5 — Lovely app

*2025-08-17, version 108.41*

Awesome app but doesn’t store card details or allow apple pay

### 3/5 — Payment processing is terrible

*2022-09-19, version 5.112*

This is a great app for seeing class times and planning when you will attend a session. But the payment process is terrible. You cannot save a card to your account. You cannot use Apple Pay. So everytime you book a class or swim you have to have your credit card to hand and re-input all the details, address etc. Even though you have an account. Frustrating.

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2022-09-06, version 5.112*

The app urgently needs the following improvements
1: ability to book several items via a basket or similar before payment
2: ability to remember card details or direct debit so payments details don’t have to be input all the time
3: ability to look up the timetable when booking a swim session so one can see what else is going on at the pool during the session (eg whether schools are in or not at the same time) 
4: also would appreciate the ability to buy packs of ten sessions or similar discount ability

### 3/5 — I am not able to ......

*2019-12-30, version 4.27*

Switch between sports centres within the Richmond borough.  I have only been able to switch by deleting and reloading the app. No response from developers when I emailed them with my problem.

The app description says it works on iPads but is listed as iPhone only on the App Store.

### 2/5 — Cannot Book - password reset form is broken

*2023-09-13, version 106.71*

I have had this problem for a while where I have an old account with LBRUT - I cannot remember the password so I choose to ‘reset password’ - the app tells me it’s sent a ‘password change request’ to my email, but it never arrives. Nothing in Junk folder. I’ve tried multiple times, so something here is very broken. I try to create a new account but it won’t allow that since it recognises I have an existing account with those same details. Wastes a lot of time going round in circles. Instead I simply call the pool and book/pay on the phone.
