### 4/5 — Filter sélection persistance

*2026-08-28*

Nice app. 

One thing is annoying with the online schedule. When selecting a location or a class in the filter, the filter doesn’t persist after I navigate away and then back to the page. Or if I close and reopen the app. 

I go to the same Y, same pool and to see the lap swimming schedule I want, I need to set the same filter each and every time. It’s really annoying.

### 2/5 — Fine when it works

*2025-02-26*

This app works fine for a few times and then it freezes and won’t change the day when you try to schedule a class. I always have to delete the app and reinstall it.

*2021-08-10*

I have attempted to log in several times and receive an error saying “invalid information “. I thought maybe my password was wrong so I selected the option to reset it.  Supposedly I was to receive an email to reset pw. Never got that email.  The app is useless

### 2/5 — Cannot logon with strong password

*2020-08-16, version 2.1*

If you use a strong password (or maybe too strong) you cannot log on via the app, even though you can log on to the YMCA of GB website. The app states invalid username or password. You have to change your password to be more simple to log on via the app. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Logs me in but throws error message when retrieving bar code.

*2019-11-23, version 2.0*

This is a useless app. I went through the registration process and I can log in, but it says there is an “issue with my account” when generating the bar code to check in. The Berwyn YMCA desk reviewed my account and found no problems with it. They are unable to help with resolving problems with this garbage app. I will revise this review if something changes for the better.

### 1/5 — Totally useless not not work,  period.

*2019-07-30, version 1.3*

Frustrating Keeps defaulting to sign YOU MUST CONSTANTLY SIGN. IN, worst app on the market!
This has been constantly reported and going on for YEARS!

### 1/5 — Beyond frustrating

*2019-06-03*

Last night I tried to check today’s schedule and discovered the app had spontaneously changed from GBW to Delaware!  I deleted that app and downloaded the correct one for my area and cannot get on it. Last night I just never got the email to continue registration this morning it’s not progressing from me entering my email address to the next screen. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-03-24, version 1.3*

Resetting password never works. There is no tech support. Time to get a real app YMCA.

### 1/5 — Empty White Screen

*2019-02-27, version 1.3*

This app worked fine for about two days after downloading. But yesterday I was scrolling through a list of Y classes and got a blank white screen that won’t go away no matter what I do. The same thing happens on the home screen. This obviously makes the app totally useless.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me into the app

*2019-02-06, version 1.3*

It dosent work

### 1/5 — Terrible. You have to

*2018-11-13, version 1.3*

Log in with email address and password every time u open the App!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2018-09-23, version 1.3*

Waste of time.  Please remove until it functions.  The same goes for 8 year olds on the cardio machines!

### 1/5 — Cant login to the app!!😤😤😤

*2018-09-03, version 1.3*

I can’t seem to login because it keeps saying I don’t have permission even though as a member of another ymca I can use this y. I also tried using my boyfriend’s email whose home y is West Chester and it gives the same message! How do I fix this?!?!

### 1/5 — Permission...

*2018-08-08, version 1.3*

How do I not have permission to register???

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support reciprocal members

*2018-08-07, version 1.3*

As a member of YMCA of Delaware I can use my membership at YMCA of Greater Brandywine but I can’t use the app. 

I live near Kennett Y and work near Central Y in DE so I use both Ys but I can’t check hours or get alerts from Kennett because my membership is in DE.

The YMCA is DE has a great app and doesn’t require membership to use the app, so why does YMCEGB require membership to use their app?

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2018-06-26, version 1.3*

I tried to reset my password, nothing happens. I tried to register thinking that might work, and when you click the next button, nothing happens. Why have an app that does t work properly?

### 1/5 — Not so good.

*2026-04-29*

Can hardly see class list. Not functional. Don’t upgrade unless you have a super large phone screen.  How do I go back to the old version?  Help.

**Developer response:** Oh no! We're sorry to hear you are experiencing issues within the app. Please reach out to our support team at support@upaceapp.com and we'll be happy to assist you. Thank you!

### 1/5 — App sucks!

*2026-04-08, version 2.41*

HELP! I try to get into a class exactly 48 hours before the class. The app says “more info”, then 30 seconds later it says “wait list full no more spots”.  I have had it! This has gone on for over one year now. I want my money back for the Y membership. This is insane!

### 1/5 — Always having issues

*2026-04-07*

This app needs to be updated immediately given the monthly fees the YMCA charges.

**Developer response:** Hi! We are happy to share this app is in the process of being updated within the next few weeks. Please be on the lookout for an app update on your mobile device!

### 1/5 — RF

*2025-09-30*

This is the worst app I’ve ever dealt with and nobody seems to want to fix it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to reach out. I’m really sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. Your feedback has been shared with our team, and we are actively working to improve the experience. I also wanted to let you know that we’re rolling out a brand new mobile app later this year, designed to be more reliable and user-friendly. We hope you enjoy the new mobile app once it is launched.

### 1/5 — One of the Worst apps ever

*2024-10-23*

If there was a zero star this app has earned it:(. What an absolute sham of a business to sell this ineffective, inefficient, wonky (in a bad way) app. It is. Disservice to our large not for profit community.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2024-08-08*

This app freezes up almost every time I use it. I have to delete it and download it o er and over so I can reserve spots in my exercise classes. Sometimes the time it takes to do that causes me to end up on the waitlist. So frustrating. There must be a better way.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing some freezing issues! Please reach out to us with any support needed at support@upaceapp.com and we can help make sure you can access the app successfully!

### 1/5 — Email

*2024-07-02*

I don’t have an email associated with my account. I can’t log in or make any reservations for classes because it won’t let me use my member ID to log in instead.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing login issues. Please reach out to us with any support needed at support@upaceapp.com and we can help make sure you can access the app successfully!

### 1/5 — Bogus app

*2024-05-19*

If I could give it zero stars I would. Just started to act up.  Trying to schedule a class is a nightmare.  Never had a problem till  the last two weeks.   Won’t open, won’t switch to schedule 48 hours ahead.  Now it won’t even open to check in.  I tried logging out and logging back in- turning my phone off and even deleting and reinstalling the app.    When I mentioned it to the front desk I was told that there have been other people with the same issues. What a waste!!!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you're encountering difficulties! Are you still experiencing issues? In response to user feedback, we made an update about 4 months ago in 2024. Please be sure to check out the updated app! If you're feeling more satisfied, we kindly ask if you would be willing to update your rating as it means so much to our team and all of our clients! Thank you again.

### 1/5 — Login issues

*2024-04-06*

Won’t let me login- keeps making me change password whenever I get to login screen. Makes the app absolutely useless. Sounds like this has been an issue for many years based on other reviews.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing login issues. Please reach out to us with any support needed at support@upaceapp.com and we will help make sure you can access the app successfully!

### 1/5 — Can’t even login

*2023-01-08*

I’ve tried numerous times to login and it. Says it emailed me a ‘pin’. The pin / email never comes so I can’t ever log in.

**Developer response:** Oh no! We sincerely apologize for the troubles you've had with the app for the login. We'd be happy to take a look into this for you and fix it, please contact us at support@upaceapp.com. Thank you!
