### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-08-27*

I really like the YMCA at Whitaker. I haven’t tried any of the other locations but I plan to do that in the future. Erica has set me up on a program plan and I’m looking forward to it. Thanks so much for all your help Erica.

### 5/5 — Nice Tracker

The app is great to track, challenge and compare my progress to others.  I wish my workout data would track more detail to measure and reflect how my weightlifting has improved, etc.

### 1/5 — Ticked Off

*2025-02-18, version 1.4*

Why aren’t my workouts being counted the last 2 days so annoying I am not getting my points for the workouts I am doing?

### 1/5 — Apple Wallet

*2024-11-06, version 1.4*

App indicates you can access membership card in your apple wallet.   Unable to transfer my membership barcode to my Apple Wallet. Error message bar code not added please try again. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Truly awful calendar function

*2022-03-19*

As far as I can tell - and I’ve asked staff for help - there is no way to view a schedule by location (i.e. Gym A, warm water pool). You have to sort by instructor or activity, and there are dozens of activities and instructors. Because of this, there is effectively no way to know in advance whether you’ll be able to use the gym or pool.

I love the Y,  but this missing functionality makes it much worse to be able to use. The previous app by a different developer was much better.

### 2/5 — Difficult to search for exercises

*2026-01-14*

The app seems fine until you try to search for exercises to add to your workout. The search doesn’t narrow down the list and when you type it keeps backing up and erasing what you type. Very frustrating to use!

### 3/5 — Why Not?

*2025-05-29*

If you’re visiting this store page, you have no reason not to install this.

### 3/5 — Where are privacy settings?
