I gave up and then lost interest in joining. ### 1/5 — Problems with scrolling *2023-04-13* The YMCA Northshore app does not work properly on IOS 13 mini. In the schedule section everything is already checked so you have to uncheck everything other than what you want. However you can’t do that because the wheelchair icon sits on top of the boxes that need to be unchecked. Once you uncheck the things you don’t want, then you are not able to update your choices because you no longer can scroll. The only way to see the schedule is by leaving everything checked for all locations and classes despite clicking on only one location at the onset of the search. There is no way to narrow the search without running into glitches. ### 1/5 — Would be better if it hooked into apple health data *2018-12-27, version 1.0* There are 15 ways to get data into this app (including manual entry) none of those come directly from the Apple APIs. I cannot install some of the other supported apps because there is a conflict with an unrelated app that I use. ### 2/5 — Why can’t I add a class to my Google calendar? *2022-03-08* That’s a problem. What are the steps to fix. Also there should be a way to save preferred settings like preferred locations and types of activities. ### 3/5 — Small font. *2026-05-07, version 4.4* Good but the writing is extremely small, I don’t usually need to wear glasses yet. ### 3/5 — Small font. *2025-10-07, version 4.2* Good but the writing is extremely small, I don’t usually need to wear glasses yet. ### 3/5 — Good but could improve *2024-08-19* Like when I add event to my calendar and then accept the invite, I get an error message/email. Unable to enroll in next sessions programs on the app like it says I should be able to. I like the activity level tracker. ### 3/5 — App *was* great *2023-03-22* Super frustrated that we can no longer sign up for classes using the app. This used to be quite useful, hoping the issue gets resolved soon. It’s been about a month since the last update that had this bug ### 3/5 — Add exercise classes *2018-11-03, version 1.0* I like this app but I wish you could select the classes that you take and it could record automatically as a workout. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great gym *2026-06-03* Excellent place for working out, lot of space and a lots of fun activities and classes! ### 5/5 — User friendly *2026-05-29* I I’ve my Y!
