### 2/5 — Pretty clunky

*2026-06-08*

Takes a long time to register for classes because of the filtering issue mentioned in other reviews. Lack of support. I asked two different staff members how to log for a challenge because the buttons that were shown in the YouTube instruction video were missing. Both staff said that they had no knowledge of the app.

### 1/5 — Never seen anything so awful.

*2026-05-09*

Absolutely no useful information. Clicking on a facility took me to the wrong one. Trying to see a gym schedule is horrible. It would be nice to be able to put my membership QR code into Apple Wallet.

### 1/5 — App not good

*2025-01-11*

Please go back to the old app! The old saying “if it’s not broke don’t fix it”! Well it’s broke now. Not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Unable to enter login info as screen loads with email above to of screen.

*2024-02-20*

The app loads a login screen which extends above the visible screen making it impossible to enter login identity (email) even rotating screen doesn’t help. Tap on password brings up keyboard and you can drag down screen to see login line but it is impossible to enter any info on that line. App as is, is useless for anything. Scrap it or restore the old one which worked.

### 1/5 — Not much value…

*2023-11-28*

Hopefully there will be simple updates coming soon. Really need filtering by facility, especially since the facilities are so far apart-it’s not like you might actually choose one over another on a random Tuesday morning. Holding out hope these are coming soon.

### 1/5 — Completely broken

*2023-08-14*

Filtering doesn't work, if you pick a location it removes everything and not filtering shows every location which makes the list endless.  Times of activities are not on the search results and neither is day of the week.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-08-13*

This app is terrible!  A huge waste of time.  Can’t believe this was released to “use”.

### 2/5 — So Far, Not Good

*2023-08-07*

I just downloaded the new app. I hope more updates will come out through the week, because as of right now, the only thing I am able to do in the app is view my current registrations and sign up for new ones. Where is the goal center, the challenges, my workouts, and just all the other things that made the other app great? I have to admit that as of right now, I do not like this new app at all. I’ll keep using the original one so that I can track my workouts. I hope that I’m able to come back and update my rating to 5 stars soo, because my family loves The Y!
