### 2/5 — Needs an update version.

*2026-04-18, version 4.2.3*

The app needs updated. It’s not showing my history in visits nor when I tanned.  Update the app please

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-11, version 4.2.2*

Can’t even get past login page to use it

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-03-08, version 4.2.2*

It’s horrible! It states my premier rewards isn’t available and then I lose them!

### 1/5 — Hate the new app

*2026-02-17, version 4.2.2*

They completely removed the section where it showed when your reward would be issued. Now it’s just a guessing game on when you get one so I marked my calendar to ask the salon in 5 months bc why have a reward program and not give rewards out

### 1/5 — Bugs bugs bugs

*2026-01-25, version 4.2.1*

Horrible! All sorts of bugs

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2025-05-04, version 4.0.3*

Once I updated app, it no longer goes beyond the apps title page. In the past, I would have given 4 stars.

### 1/5 — App won’t even open

*2025-04-17, version 4.0.3*

I can’t even open the app and I have a brand new IPhone

### 2/5 — New app update is HORRIBLE!

*2025-02-11, version 4.0.2*

App doesn’t show my correct tan time and won’t update.  Very frustrating

### 1/5 — New update is awful

*2025-02-06, version 4.0.2*

This app used to work fine. The only thing I want it to do is tell me the time at which I’m eligible to tan again. It used to do this beautifully. Now it is never correct, and I never know when I can go in. The update ruined the app.

### 1/5 — Changed after the last update

*2025-01-28, version 4.0.2*

It was telling me my updated eligible to tan time after every session. But it hasn’t been updating or logging any of my sessions since the last update.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2025-01-28, version 4.0.2*

This app is horrible. I can’t ever get signed in and never works properly. So disappointing!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-25, version 4.0.1*

This app is trash. Time doesn’t update to show when you’re eligible to tan again. Useless

### 1/5 — The time never works

*2025-01-19, version 4.0.1*

You have to wait 24 hours to the minute to tan in Texas. My app ALWAYS says eligible to tan until I scan in, and the girls behind the desk say “you have to wait 20 more minutes”. It’s so annoying because they get a little snippy about it too. Just make it work properly please.

### 1/5 — App is a continuous blank screen

*2025-01-07, version 3.7.4*

The app is a continuous blank white screen and does not work. My phone is up to date on its software and the app is updated as well. It does not work. 

This is a zero star review but I’m required to at least select 1 star.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-12-20, version 3.7.4*

The app doesn’t work and the company charges you after you cancel and will not refund.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t open

*2024-12-18, version 3.7.4*

Does not load at all

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2024-12-17, version 3.7.4*

For the past year an a half I haven not been able to log on or get past the pink screen that says “My PBT” . The app does no work at all. I have given feedback multiple times and still that app remains unworkable.

### 1/5 — An app that does nothing

*2024-12-15, version 3.7.4*

Stuck on a logo screen. App does nothing at all. The locations should take down the posters advertising this app. It is pointless and it just frustrates customers.

### 1/5 — Charged after store closed

*2024-12-02, version 3.7.4*

The app is garbage as well as the company. 

There is no way to contact them, they tell me to use my email to get into the app to cancel, but I’ve used two emails or updated it long ago because I could no longer access the first one, but their system doesn’t work like that and they don’t see to understand. If I try to use the new email that THEY ADDED to my account into the system it says I don’t have an account and if I try to use the old one it wants me to confirm in my email which I cannot access.
 
So I’m still being charged after their downtown Houston location shut down completely from the hurricane in July yet I continue to be charged every month.

### 1/5 — Ugh frustrating

*2026-05-21, version 4.2.3*

I have deleted the app because it wanted me to update my password constantly….I added it again now it keeps asking me to update my email, I do then it says it’s updated. I try to look at my account and it goes back to “update email”. I can’t win with this app. I only wanted it to have the bar code for easy sign in. I’m about to delete the whole dang thing and go back to using my DL, this is just too frustrating!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign in

*2026-05-09, version 4.2.3*

Every time I try to open the app it gets stuck on a screen saying to confirm my email address and it just sits and buffers… doesn’t work. Absolute trash. Please do better!

### 1/5 — Never opens or works

*2026-04-24, version 4.2.3*

Why create an app that closes as soon as you try to open it.  Hire someone new to maintain your app please - super frustrating for customers.

### 1/5 — Awful update

*2026-04-22, version 4.2.3*

After the recent update this is basically useless I’m tired of having useless apps on my phone!

### 1/5 — New update

*2026-04-21, version 4.2.3*

Ever since the new update, I can’t see my tan time or my products that I’ve previously purchased.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-04-21, version 4.2.3*

History of visits and the 24-hour time period when tanning is allowed the following day is no longer available on the new version. Please fix it!

### 1/5 — New update

*2026-04-21, version 4.2.3*

Screen UI too big and can no longer see tan time.

### 1/5 — Bring back tan time

*2026-04-19, version 4.2.3*

Only thing this app was good for was tanning history. No longer available now 😞

### 1/5 — Do better

*2026-04-18, version 4.2.3*

For whatever reason you can’t access your tan time on the app!!! I’m sure most use this app specifically for that reason!! This has to be the worst app ever. It has been so inconsistent since the app was created! It doesn’t show any purchases or my tab history at all!!!

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2026-04-01, version 4.2.3*

I have been trying to login for over a month with no luck. I get notifications of deals and specials but when clicking on the notification it directs me to log in. Please update your app.

### 5/5 — Tanning experience

*2024-12-21, version 3.7.4*

Very personable, clean & they keep your health in mind hence the 24 hour waiting. Period.

### 5/5 — 2 step app set up

*2023-04-08*

Needs an associate to email you the sign in link. Since you have to go to the store in person anyway to tan, it’s really no big deal. I love that I’m able to see my account and payments, status, etc. I found that my account had my old address still, which I was able to change. 

Really nice surprise to receive the $10 PBT dollar for downloading and installing the app! ◡̈ I’m using it the next time to upgrade for the amethyst solution.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-05-17, version 2.0.6*

What great app PBT came out with! I love to see all of my account information and rewards!! Super easy check in also! Love it!

### 5/5 — SO SMART !

*2020-04-22, version 2.0.4*

So glad Palm Beach is taking actions to being safer and smarter ! Can’t wait to start tanning after the quarantine! Love this company and how invested they are in their customers’ wellbeing and safety !

### 5/5 — Love PBT!

*2020-04-22, version 2.0.4*

So happy to have this APP!  Love my location !East Athens !

### 5/5 — Yay!

*2020-01-24, version 1.0*

So so happy to see this coming out! Amazing job PBT !!

### 4/5 — Spelling wrong

*2021-07-02, version 3.0.1*

Receive is spelled wrong under Refer your Friends section on the home page.

### 4/5 — Love the idea of it, but never works for me

*2020-07-31, version 2.0.6*

I downloaded the app when you re-owned during COVID-19 crap. The idea and theory of the app is great! It’s functionality is awesome. Being able to check in with my barcode via the app not so much.....it either doesn’t scan at all or if it does it doesn’t actually read it so I have to try to scan it again. Maybe 2/20 times has it actually worked for me when scanning. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

### 3/5 — Release 3.7.1 is Buggy - Hotfix Needed

*2024-09-10, version 3.7.1*

The 3.7.1 release that occurred on 09/10/24 has bugs in the software. I would consider it a P0. A push to update the app was received before 9am CST. After the app was updated, I could not sign in. I kept receiving a message that either my username or password is incorrect. I tried several time to log in and kept receiving the same pop-up message. I then clicked on the ‘Forget Your Password?’ link twice to see if that would remedy the login issue. It did not. The first message I received said that I didn’t have an account then the second message was I do have an account and that a password reset email was sent. Never received an email. I went to the salon and the lady there said everyone was having problems with the app today.

To the developer(s), please kindly push a hotfix to remediate these bugs.

Thank you!

### 3/5 — Ok

*2022-06-18, version 3.2.2*

This app can be good. It was helpful to see when you last tanned, tanning history, and promotions. It has intermittent logging in issues which are frustrating.
