NO APPLE PAY FUNCTION
I cannot believe the only option to pay through this app is to hand type your credit card information. Who does that in the year 2023? How do they not have an Apple Pay function? Even if they don't offer Apple Pay they still should have the scanner option for your credit card. They wasted so much energy on adding functions that require you to say that you realize the passes are nonrefundable. You'd think they'd throw a little bone toward making the app more user-friendly. If the purchasing experience is this unsatisfactory, I hate to imagine what's going to happen once the passes actually get on my phone, IF they get on my phone smh.

Easy Peasy
We’ve been using VIPLY since first introduced.
Usually buy Passes minutes after app opens up to ensure no sold out for next day-

No Apple Pay
Would be better/more secure if payment method included Apple Pay or PayPal.
App & Viply Support
VIPLY is super convenient. Viply support is amazing. Professional, friendly, very responsive. As a senior they walked me through step-by-step Unusing the app and picking up my badge. Great team!
Poor operation
My beach community sells badges in two categories: adult and senior. If buying both types of badges, you must enter all your credit card info twice! Was this app written in 1998? Ever hear of shopping carts?
Awful People
I purchased beach badges in the first week of May, way before the season started, while it was still freezing to go to the beach.
Since no beaches were open, the weather being awful, and since I just purchased them the day before, I asked if I could switch the beach, they said no refunds and couldn’t even help me.
Why couldn’t I switch the beach when it was still snowing? Or why couldn’t I get a refund, so I can take that money to apply it to a different beach?
Awful customer support/company/policy.
Will continue to buy beach badges in person!

This APP does rock
Easy to buy beach passes
(Although the beach should be free.)
CUSTOMER SERVICE EXCELLENT
Now that Covid is almost officially over, shouldn’t there be more beach passes available?

Ugh
It seems like the app crashes whenever more than 10 people try to use it at a time. Is this run on an iPhone3? Lmk.
It doesn’t work
It’s just showing me the ring of death (loading)
Sold out.
Tickets are hard to get. Can’t purchase in advance. More descriptions needed about beaches. Chair or umbrella rentals if available and food sold.
Sell out
I miss the old way of getting beach passes. I haven’t been able to attend one of my favorite beaches because the passes are ALWAYS sold out. Today I waited 22 min after buying time started and the passes were all gone.... in less than 22 minutes!!!!
SOLD OUT
I got lucky twice and was able to get beach passes to Ocean Grove, NJ. I tried for 15 days but SOLD OUT is the common theme. The passes for the next day are supposed to be available beginning at 4:00 pm on the current day. I tried at 4:01 pm, 4:15 pm, 4:30 pm, 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm, 8:00 pm with no luck on most days. If the issue is with the town not releasing the passes on time, the town is ultimately making this app look bad. I was also led to believe that the app was the only way to get passes only to find out that the town sells them at the beach also.

THIS APP ROCKS
This app saved my vacation during a pandemic!! The beach towns decide on the number of daily beach badges to sell each day and use VIPLY to sell and distribute those badges.
I got the VIPLY app to get daily badges for our favorite beach for a planned vacation. On one of the days of vacation that was a perfect beach day, we were unable to get daily badges where we usually go. One family member started to whine that we could not go to our usual beach, but VIPLY is connected to other beach towns and we were willing to go on an adventure for that day out of the usual routine to a different beach. Even adults can learn to be flexible with changing plans thanks to this app!
I wish all of the beaches in NJ would use VIPLY to simplify the search for available passes. So easy to use. Saves time finding passes at available beaches so I don’t waste time driving to a beach that does not use VIPLY to find badges already sold out before we got there.

So easy to use
Viply is a great app to buy beach passes for the Jersey Shore and it’s so easy to use!! Plus they have wonderful customer service. They issued me a refund for passes I couldn’t use because the rental car company ran out of cars so had no way of getting to the beach.
Rain , rain go away
Viply is awesome. Can’t control Mother Nature. Bought tickets to take family to Bradley beach and it started raining. Within 30 minutes of us calling customer service , Viply reimbursemed us because town closed beach for the day. Thank you Viply!
Good app for beach tix
Works well. I set my alarm early to wake up and get my beach tickets. Have not had a problem w the app or redeeming them at the booth.
Review AP tickets
Excellent ! Easy to do sometimes you have to toggle back n forth
Zero stars
Definitely download this App if you want it to freeze, crash and/or choke up in the middle of buying beach passes. It’s especially sweet when there’s a pandemic and your favorite beach releases 40 passes randomly the night before. You get to watch the ticket counts disappear as the App stutters and hiccups.

User friendly app
This is a very user friendly app and makes purchasing beach badges so hassle free.
The system doesn’t work properly
There is a problem with the system that needs to be addressed before the season is over!
