Problems with app

This app in theory is great and useful to book local courts, however the book function has stopped working and the book now button just constantly resets. Is anyone maintaining this app?

Can’t book a court via the app

When I am booking a court via the play tennis app this although it seems it has been booked there is not email confirmation coming through with the access pin etc. it feels there is an issue with the app. Can this be fixed

It’s ok if it works!?!

This app rarely works, I have been unable to use it to book for 2 weeks as I keep getting a ‘your booking is unsuccessful’ message when ever I try and select a slot. The website is no better it won’t even load the booking page! I have tried on multiple devices to check it wasn’t me but nope definitely the app and site. When I contacted customer support they told me to contact the court owners and they told me to contact customer support?!?
Please can you fix the booking system (again)

Paid Membership - Unable to book

I have a paid membership for Waltham Forest for a family, the app does not allow for me to book and does not allow free bookings for members of my family. Contacted support 3 weeks ago with no help.

Don’t pay for it.

Outdoor activities

This fantastic free service brings people together. Easy app to navigate. Love playing tennis outside and making the most of fresh air, catching up with friends and having fun

Not well maintened

The courts are of good quality, but poor stewardship is shown by Leeds City Council. Glitchy app and bookings website, faulty door and not sufficiently regularly cleaned courts often full of tree leaves and branches. This is next to Leeds most visited tourist attraction Roundhay Park (itself a mess). Leeds is the fourth to third city in the UK depending on metrics, no evidence of that here. Poor stewardship and poor leadership.

Really useful app, though I think I found a bug

There seems to be a time formatting bug. I am on an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 26.5.2. My iPhone system settings were originally set to a 12-hour clock. With this setting, the app displays an unformatted, messy UI for my booked courts.

The only workaround I found was to manually go into iOS Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on “24-Hour Time.” This change tidied up the display format of the date and time for my bookings. It seems the app is strictly expecting a 24-hour timestamp.

Super Easy

Love this app, it makes searching and booking a court so much easier!

Mainly positive

Very good app and very easy and convenient, only issue is some courts don’t show full booking availability as shown on website.

take my money and don’t book court

I bought a membership and they are still charging me for every booking I make. I also made a booking. They took my money yet the booking was not unsuccessful. I emailed them about this and no one replied there is no number to call and complain or try to resolve the issue

Don’t bother.

I don’t understand what the point of this app is. I’ve never, in nearly 2 years of having it, have ever been able to book a court on it. I’d say use the direct LTA website but even that is unbelievably painstaking. Maybe it’s some sort of conspiracy theory so nobody can play tennis and we’re all forced into padel.

Completely unusable

3 out of 4 of the screens on this app don’t even work. It’s impossible to book a court without it trying to make you pay even if you have an annual membership. Completely useless app

App performs poorly more often than not

We often use the app to book a court. More than half of the time we use it, it takes multiple attempts to click through and successfully book. When court times are shown as available, many times the app will not allow you to make the booking, leading to a lot of frustration.

Doesn’t work

This app unfortunately does not allow me to book anything. I get to the booking page but it never progresses from there. I have to book via the website.

Payment issues

You are able to see which courts are available but unable to actually book as the payment never processes on the app

Buggy

Very frustrating! If you’ve purchased local annual membership the App becomes useless, it is meant to reflect £0.00 but it doesn’t (shows normal court price), if you continue to click through it does resolve to £0.00 but then doesn’t book the court.

Resolved this by not using this app and used ClubSpark’s Booker App which works fine.
