### 4/5 — Fitness Goals @ My Fingertips

*2023-07-25*

Love that I can look ahead and set reminders on my personal schedule of classes I want to take!  Helps me stay organized!!

### 3/5 — A crowd tracker would be nice

*2021-07-20, version 1.3*

Planet fitness has a feature on their app/website where you can pick a club and it will estimate how many people are expected at each time for every day of the week.  

 Its updated with actual crowd size in real time so if you want to avoid crowds you can.   

Thats a really helpful feature not just for people avoiding crowds during covid but for anyone who wants a minimum wait time for equipment.   Please check out their free app to see how that feature works and copy it!

### 4/5 — Find a class

*2021-07-16, version 1.3*

I do love this feature!  But what would be really helpful is to have the class type put into categories so you can find all the class options in that category (as your class type is long!  And somehow the letters get cut off). So example - I’d like to take a yoga class, of any type at any location. The filter does not make this easy to find, as your yoga classes have many names!

### 3/5 — User friendly questionable

*2020-01-04, version 1.3*

The goal center is not user friendly to setup exercise challenge, but I do like the find classes options.

### 5/5 — Love it but here’s some feedback

*2019-09-18, version 1.1*

I love knowing which instructors will be teaching so I can plan ahead before commuting to the gym. We all have our favorites. I also enjoy using the workout log feature so I can track my total workouts each week/month. I wish there was a way to add weight and height so the calories would actually be accurate.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2019-09-12, version 1.1*

It’s a little clumsy but once you figure it out it’s not bad. I wish it were more intuitive. I also really wish there was a way to see all of the classes you are currently signed up for.

### 2/5 — Great Ideas but Really Missing the Old App

*2019-09-10, version 1.1*

I like the new ideas, but the execution needs a bit of tweaking.
1) need to be able to switch locations more as easily as on the old app
2) love the challenges but the counter isn’t right. I show 3 more days with workouts in one part of the app compared to the challenge part.
3) the old ability to filter classes by time of day was really helpful. Please bring that back.
4) if still doesn’t track your check ins at the ymca. It seems like that should have been task number 1. Why have us create an account if it doesn’t hold that info? Why not have this connect to our existing YMCA accounts?
5) 7/29 update: two months of the app and this is the second month where the goal portion of this thing stops working a few of days before the end of a challenge period.
6) 9/10 not being able to filter the class time periods like we used to is really annoying. For those with 9-5s or people who only go during the day, it makes no sense to have to scroll through all the classes. The old app was better.

### 2/5 — Bring back the old app functionality

*2019-06-29, version 1.1*

This new app is not at all user friendly.

### 2/5 — Needs Work!!

*2019-06-21, version 1.1*

Functions poorly!! Needs more improvement.

### 2/5 — We took a step back

*2019-06-17, version 1.1*

All - I get some of the reasons why changes were made. However, the app went from easy to complicated.  Bring back the former app as at least you could select your preferred Y location and always have it pull up.  Now, you have to reselect a location every time, no matter if you want to find hours, a class, etc.  Now,  it’s clunky.

### 3/5 — Bring back the old app!!

*2019-06-13, version 1.1*

The new app is not user friendly. Some of the features in the old app were way easier to navigate (I.e. changing locations...still haven’t figured out how to do this in the new app, searching by date). Please bring me the format of the old app for searching for classes. Add being able to search different locations. I consistently visit 3 different locations based on their class times and my availability. It’s so difficult to find a class right now because I’m only able to search one location in the app. Otherwise, I have to go directly to the other location’s website to find their class times.

### 2/5 — Worse than before

*2019-06-08, version 1.1*

Seems worse than the old one, especially when it comes to listing classes. 

Forces you to pick a password that’s less secure than the one that iPhone can automatically generate for you because of arbitrary length criteria (no more than 14 characters).

### 1/5 — Total mileage

*2021-12-01, version 2.0*

This updated version does not all for total weekly, monthly, or yearly miles. If you want to get total miles for a month you have o manually add them up 

This update lost all my prior collected data! Terrible…

PLEASE ADD a total feature by week, month , and year.

### 1/5 — Unable to add barcode to Apple Wallet

*2021-04-22, version 1.3*

Really the only reason I downloaded the app is to easily pull up my barcode using my Apple Wallet in my phone. Now I am unable to add the barcode to my Wallet.

### 1/5 — Good a step back

*2019-09-28, version 1.1*

Among other functionality that seems to be gone with the new version of this app, the notification that pops up your scan card when you arrive at a center is gone. That was a feature I really used every day.

### 1/5 — Nightmare at best

*2019-08-23, version 1.1*

Hard to navigate, can’t sign up for classes and to see how many I have remaining, I have to log in AGAIN after I’ve already logged in. Clearly the tech people developed this with zero user input. I will not use this app again. If that means I can’t take Pilates here, I can go to Maryland Farms.

### 1/5 — Immensely Frustrating

*2019-08-18, version 1.1*

This app is a huge step down in functionality and just plain information accessibility. One of the most user-unfriendly apps I’ve ever been forced to use. Cannot switch between locations and no intuitive design. Please work on the ability to switch YMCA locations. The social media aspects are worthless if you are just trying to find a scheduled class. I don’t want to share my every treadmill use to Facebook, I want to know what times an exercise class take place. Please focus on information access and not worthless social aspects.

### 1/5 — New app is not good

*2019-08-11, version 1.1*

Bring back old app and get your money back from the app developer. You got ripped off. Virtually useless if you frequent multiple locations.

### 1/5 — Change home location

*2019-07-03, version 1.1*

I’ve quit using this app because I can’t change my home location. It has a facility that I’ve never been to listed.

### 1/5 — Old app better. New app has less functionality:(

*2019-06-20, version 1.1*

Newer isn’t always better would certainly apply to this app. Why change it if you’re going to absolutely ruin the functionality of the app. 

Like others have mentioned, I rotate between multiple Y locations and now it’s hard to look between the locations to find class schedules. Guess I’m back to using the paper schedules. What a waste of an update. 

Also, why do I have to create an account when all I want to do is look at the class schedules?

Ugh. You ruined it...

### 1/5 — Sad

*2019-06-08, version 1.1*

I can’t log on. Email or xID don’t work. HELP

### 1/5 — Baaaaad

*2019-06-05, version 1.1*

The “app” cannot even recognize my email, it says something is not right. I also try my YMCA ID number, which I copied directly from the precious app, it does not recognized it either. Lol

### 5/5 — Helps keep up with classes

*2024-02-08*

Enjoying using the app to plan my workouts

### 5/5 — Love the Y. Love the app!

*2023-11-03*

I love being able to check in with the app, see all the great classes available and workout at this great place.

### 5/5 — Always works well!!

*2023-09-25*

Love being able to pull up the schedule and scan my card though the app!

### 5/5 — A Plan to Succeed

*2023-08-09*

Before I started using the YMCA App, my workouts were at the mercy of memory and motivation. I never knew what classes were available within my changing daily schedule so I often stayed home and did not much. Now that Im using the app, I can tell my day how it’s going to go and plan to succeed in my fitness goals. I’ve missed very few days now, have more energy and only have 10 more lbs, out of 35, to reach goal weight! It’s been a life changer for me.

### 5/5 — Love the Y. Love the app!

*2023-07-11*

I love being able to check in with the app, see all the great classes available and workout at this great place.

### 5/5 — Excellent App with great features

*2023-06-17*

I especially love the updated schedule that helps me find the classes I want to try.

### 5/5 — Ymca

*2023-04-12*

I love how easy it is to use the app!! I can check at anytime to see if a class has been cancelled or moved to a different time or room!! The ymca is a great place to go to get yourself healthy and to stay active!!

### 5/5 — Very easy

*2020-11-03, version 1.3*

Having the group class schedule makes it so easy to plan my week!

### 5/5 — Love This Y App

*2020-01-31, version 1.3*

This Y app is great! Let’s me sync with my Fitbit and all kinds of cool stuff!

### 5/5 — Excellent improvement over old app

*2019-12-19, version 1.2*

This brings so many features I had been wishing for!  Thank you. I love that multiple classes and class locations pop up, as I use 3 different area YMCA’s.  I’m able to see all classes and class types together for the day, for the nearest locations, and I can therefore choose which time and class and location I’d like to attend based on what’s happening!
