Even when you can log on (I currently can’t) you still need to logon to a second page to reserve group fitness classes. It really is unacceptable for a $100 a month gym to not be able to take responsibility if they are going to have a reservation based system. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-02-20, version 10.3.7* Not sure who designed this app but they should try to use it. It’s absolutely terrible. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-02-19, version 10.3.7* This app is terrible. Cannot make reservations easily at all and constantly telling me I have invalid credentials after I have reset my password. ### 1/5 — Utter Garbage *2023-01-02, version 10.3.7* They change the app every year and it just gets worse. Now it is impossible to login. I’ve been a member for years and have used the previous mobile app(s) for years. Sparetime needs new direction. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old app! *2022-12-27, version 10.3.7* Very disappointed in the new app. Lots of bugs on my iPhone 12, more keystrokes to get reservations, awkward interface, no visual of swim lane scheduling. Indicates a basic lack of understanding how members use the app. Bring back the old app now! ### 1/5 — Stuck at login in page *2022-12-15, version 10.3.7* Well, I’m now at a good 2 weeks trying to log into this joke of an app. I’ve loaded/deleted/reloaded the app multiple times, used various login id’s per the clubs suggestions, reset my password, turned WiFi off while trying to sign in (per the clubs suggestion) tried to re-register my account to no avail. I am eternally stuck on the black login page. Asking the club to reset my account I’m told they can’t do this (wth..) The old app no longer works so I’m stuck having them sign me in and calling prior to arriving to confirm the class I want to attend is still on the schedule. Complete and utter joke. At this point I’m considering just going to another gym for ease of use. ### 1/5 — Is there possibly an app worse than this one? *2022-12-15, version 10.3.7* Unfortunately it’s not possible to give less than 1 star. This app is a disaster. How could management even think of launching it with such onerous functionality? To book a court is not even close to being logical, not to mention multiple confusing steps. Please! Do us all a favor and revert back to the old version until you have one that has a beta version tested by a focus group of members and is less complicated than a Rubik’s cube. ### 1/5 — Are you kidding? *2022-12-11, version 10.3.7* Most time consuming app I've come across for doing simple functions! This is supposed to be an improvement??! You have to sign in each time for every class you want to reserve, even though you're signed in already. Did someone think, "How can we make this more complicated and frustrating for the user?" and then "design" this app. ### 1/5 — The other app was better *2022-12-10, version 10.3.7* Had to go in to even get it to work. The other one was better!!! ### 1/5 — Why? *2022-12-10, version 10.3.7* The old app worked perfectly well. Why replace it with something less functional? Reservations are not easy, can’t see what’s available when trying to book a group or team practice. This app should be amazing and dazzlingly improved if it’s replacing what worked great. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-12-08, version 10.3.7* This app is not intuitive and barely functional. Making Court reservations was much easier with the old app. ### 1/5 — The Worst *2022-12-06, version 10.3.7* Why would they change an app that worked perfectly? This app is garbage. It’s not very intuitive. And takes more steps to make a reservation. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-12-04, version 10.3.7* The club changed this app over from a functional one. It is borderline functional at best and should not have been released yet. ### 1/5 — Useless app!!! *2022-12-02, version 10.3.7* This app is useless and not user friendly ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-05-21, version 11.4.0* Never works. Doesn’t send password reset emails. Can’t login to reserve anything. Very frustrating, especially when it’s required to reserve a lane. I call and get “We will let IT know”. We pay $200/month husband and I and can’t log in? This is a joke. ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-04-06, version 11.4.0* This is the most frustrating app! Let's you log in and as soon as you want to sign up for something you get an error message that email or password are wrong. Change password, works for 1 day then back to not working! Unfortunately for the specific gym the only option is to call in to sign up. ### 1/5 — FIX THIS APP!?! *2025-10-18, version 11.4.0* DOES NOT WORK: this app is a joke & an embarrassing representation of your company. >Passwords/Credentials never work despite 3 resets today via browser. >Keyboard mysteriously disappears. >Have to go to bt >Navigation clunky >UX: tired, old, cheap feeling, looking. > ### 1/5 — Why? *2024-09-05, version 11.3.1* Just. Why? ### 1/5 — Useless for Gold River *2023-10-05, version 10.5.0* Doesn’t show anything for the Gold River schedule. ### 1/5 — Spare time sports club *2023-06-12, version 10.5.0* WORST app I have ever experienced! ### 1/5 — Stuck at login *2023-06-01, version 10.5.0* I’ve been trying for months to get logged in and it doesn’t work. There are several others in the reviews saying the same thing. ### 1/5 — Terrible change *2023-05-09, version 10.5.0* I am going to cancel my membership over this app. There are a lot of places in Sacramento to play tennis and this app really complicates the reservation system. Happy to join a country club with tennis rather than be forced to use this app. It keeps logging me out on top of having a U.I. that is not streamlined or intuitive at all. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2023-04-30, version 10.5.0* Can’t even get simple operating hours or holiday hours in the app. You have to go to google instead. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t be worse. *2023-03-20, version 10.5.0* Wow-This app couldn’t be worse esp. for iOS. Not a healthy activity signing up for classes. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So easy *2022-12-10, version 10.3.7* After spending 3min actually going through the app and learning how to use it before giving a rating, I absolutely love it! All you have to hit is save filters at the bottom of the search menu, I timed it at the club, phone out to reserved court, 11 seconds. Just have to be willing to learn something new 👍🔥 ### 4/5 — Works for me *2023-05-22, version 10.5.0* Great for reserving lanes and courts but the app buffers when I try to reserve a spot in a group ex class. The barcode also only works when I add it to the wallet, but the fact that I can add my barcode to my home screen and not open the app makes up for it! ### 2/5 — Lost important features *2022-12-27, version 10.3.7* I understand SpareTime updated their computer systems which were incompatible with the old app. The old app had a functional graphical interface for reserving tennis courts and swim lanes. This new app loses the graphical interface, forcing the user to set up search filters and navigate multiple screens. Not user friendly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
