### 2/5 — Broken equipment

*2025-05-11, version 11.5.0*

Broken equipment takes to long to get fixed

### 2/5 — Works inconsistently

*2025-02-02, version 11.3.5*

Classes show up at times  and at other times they don’t. At times, it won’t open. Other times it opens right up

### 2/5 — Cleanliness at Yorktown “Y” needs good cleaning

*2024-10-20, version 11.3.5*

Yorktown YMCA NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING!! Carpet in men’s locker room is bad, ladies say the same. Just all over cleanliness has gone down. Please clean the place up.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2023-11-06, version 11.0.4*

I’ve tried inputting my login information so many times. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the app. I’ve tried changing my password. I can’t login. I have to go into a browser and log in that way. It’s very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign up—starts with login

*2023-07-06, version 10.7.0*

Instructions from Y is to download and click “create account.” 

However, it immediately asks me to login and I’ve never used the app before and can’t figure out how to work around this.

The app is useless if you can’t access it.

### 1/5 — The APP is TERRIBLE

*2023-03-19, version 10.4.5*

I can’t login. I’ve contacted you for help. They say I have to reach out to the Y. I should be able to login to the app.

### 1/5 — Unable to log in

*2023-03-01, version 10.4.5*

Unable to log in attempted many times.

### 1/5 — Can’t Login

*2023-01-01, version 10.4.5*

Was inactive from YMCA for a bit of time, but recently renewed my membership just fine (the system recognized my email and asked me to login when I tried signing up for a new membership).

I logged in successfully on their website but the app login doesn’t work. Tried resetting password, but I never get the email. I tried deleting and re-downloading the app, checking my inbox/spam about 30x, refreshing, nothing works.

FIX YOUR LOGIN ISSUES, PLEASE.

### 1/5 — Cannot reset passsword

*2022-12-22, version 10.4.5*

Reset password link does not work

### 1/5 — Hard to find the programs we are looking for

*2022-12-16, version 10.4.5*

It’s hard to navigate and when I forget the log in password its big hassle to try to get back

### 1/5 — Feedback new YMCA APP

*2022-12-06, version 10.1.6*

Can’t seem to get it to work. Miss the old one that always worked!!

### 1/5 — Login and password

*2022-12-05, version 10.1.6*

Don’t get emails to reset passwords. So I can’t get on app. Upset.

### 1/5 — Account password

*2022-11-20, version 10.1.6*

They don’t even send a email to change password when you forget it

### 1/5 — YMCA

Will not send email to change password.

### 1/5 — Resetting password

*2022-10-03, version 10.1.6*

I’ve been trying to reset my password for two days now.   I have yet to get the email sending me the link to reset my password.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2022-09-20, version 10.1.6*

Logging in is impossible using cut/paste or a password manager. Same is true on a computer. I’m forced to make every class registration by taking up the tone of office staff.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2022-08-07, version 10.1.6*

Unusable app. Can’t login. Numerous tries and resets. The installed app and reinstalled. Check email checked password etc. nothing. Apple does not want to recognize me. Had to get one star, deserve zero stars at this point.

### 1/5 — yConnect is a disconnect

*2026-08-24, version 12.4.1*

Several issues with the app - seems I can’t use it for anything other than checking in the Y and signing up for a class. Often, before I go to bed at night, I’ll get a message about a class I completed before noon that same day. Overall, it isn’t as useful as I thought it would be, or hoped it could be.

### 1/5 — Login issue

*2026-07-29, version 12.2.0*

Please fix the login issue I’ve had the app for a month I’ve deleted it redownloaded it tried multiple things and the app won’t let me log in when the website does

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-06-12, version 11.5.0*

Cannot find class registration on the web page. I can log into the web page but get wrong password on the app even though I’m using the same credentials. When I try to change my password on the app, I never receive the reset email.

### 1/5 — Can’t use it

*2024-05-04, version 11.2.5*

I can not connect it is useless.

### 1/5 — Can’t even login

*2024-03-05, version 11.1.3*

I can login in through the website YMCA but no matter what I do I cannot login . Absolutely ridiculous.

*2024-03-03, version 11.1.3*

YMCA system logs me out .

### 1/5 — YMCA app

*2024-02-23, version 11.1.3*

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-04-14, version 11.2.5*

Your classes and gym are so awesome! I am enjoying the classes and the faculty very much! Your staff is amazing!

### 5/5 — Login help is needed from YMCA

*2023-05-01, version 10.6.2*

I called and the YConnect app needs a different logon than the website. I had to get a link to set up app. It works just fine.

### 5/5 — Treadmills, Stairs and Bikes

*2021-06-03, version 9.6.0*

I like the treadmills, stairs and bikes🚴‍♀️ lot.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2021-04-08, version 9.5.0*

Really helpful.  As is Y staff!

### 5/5 — National member

*2020-10-12, version 9.2.0*

What an excellent experience in travel and Covid safety at Northumberland. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Joy! Absolutely!

*2020-09-15*

Will helped me set of the YConnect. I have minimum technical proficiency but just couldn’t manage the details with all the overwhelming CV-19 changes. I was stressed about the pool changes (I absolutely NEED the pool or I’ll go stark raving MAD!), new visual cues due to renovations, and new rules which I hadn’t a clue on (pool reservations etc.). But Will was open, friendly, patient and helped me get this done so I can reserve pool spots. Elija fixed my first appt so kindly - he was wonderful!  As for Will, I even taught him that Y Connect could be accessed via a standard computer :-). The pool was fantastic- its been SO LONG!  The life guards were SO SWEET. And finally, I can add aquatic PT to my total knee replacement recovery. THANKS Y Staff!!

### 5/5 — Fellowship

*2020-08-20*

The Y was so spotlessly clean when I come there! The organization of the carefulness the staff have developed is superb and makes you feel very comfortable! Great Job!! Although I miss my coffee relaxation with my buddies after workout, the environment is so welcoming !!

### 5/5 — Happiness

*2020-06-20*

I recently returned to YMCA center for Health and Wellness.  Tara and Dave helped me to set up my Y connect.  It helps me to reserve my spot in the pool.  I am not technically proficient so I was thankful for their help.  Nice that it is such an easy way to navigate and also to get a confirmation.  Thanks for making things a little easier for this “mature” lady.

### 5/5 — Great for me

*2018-10-09, version 4.5.10*

I just love this app. It works great for me!
