No gripe there. Have been using only for a week though. Recommendation: — Add a time based filter for selecting classes. — Make the filter date auto update to the correct one when scrolling down. It’s really difficult to understand for which date I’m booking (the small date is easily missed) ### 3/5 — This is bad now *2025-04-22, version 3.6* Constant issues booking classes. Went from poor performance to now sometimes just broken with cryptic error messages after waiting minutes to book. Our classes fill up quick - I will see people in the class all trying to book the next one and the app erroring out. Basic filtering of classes is very limited and causes way too much time spent scrolling. Please find another vendor to provide this functionality for the Y if this one fails to improve. ### 2/5 — Don’t like *2025-03-17, version 3.6* I cannot book any classes or see when classes are ### 4/5 — Fitness app *2025-03-10, version 3.6* Great app, love the notifications, signing up for classes etc…. The only thing that can be difficult is it takes the classes a while to load before you can select the class you want to take. ### 1/5 — Cannot access classes *2024-12-10, version 3.6* I updated to this version and I have not been able to access the classes for four days now. There is something wrong with this app! I receive an ERROR: something went wrong, Please try again. ### 3/5 — Needs updates *2024-12-09, version 3.6* I use this app every day to reserve classes at the Y. every other time I launch the app, it crashes. ### 2/5 — Hasn’t kept up with the OS *2024-10-12, version 3.6* Doesn’t consistently sync with Apple Health. Workouts from as many as five or more days ago take far too long to sync. This has gotten worse since upgrading to iOS 18.0.1. ### 1/5 — Slow and not user friendly *2024-10-10, version 3.6* Trying to book a class and the app has crashed 3 times. No other way to book as far as I know. Super annoying as a new member of the y. You have to start over if you change a single thing in the filters. Im pretty tech savvy and find this app to be pretty unusable and I’m not sure how less tech savvy members use this. ### 3/5 — Miss the old app *2024-09-24, version 3.6* Loved, loved, loved the old app. This one is slow to load and slow to go from one page to another. Slow to book classes as well. The old app was fast. This app also does not let you select multiple classes at one time to see schedules. You have to pick one class and search for it, then select the next class, etc. The old app would also add booked classes to your calendar which was awesome, but this app doesn’t do this and you have to manually add classes to your calendar. I wish they’d bring the old app. It was great. ### 3/5 — The app is great, except… *2024-09-21, version 3.6* …it is sometimes impossible to sign up for classes because it takes forever to show the group schedule and sign up for classes. Sometimes you have to try multiple times. Signups are what I mostly use the app for. ### 2/5 — Good idea, but... *2024-07-27, version 3.6* I like all the ideas behind this app. The problem is the constant crashes & error messages. The other challenge is that when it works, no one checks the class capacities & registrations. I love the Y & hope they fix it soon! ### 1/5 — Worse and worse is more like it *2024-07-05, version 3.6* This is the worst app I’ve ever had the misfortune of using. It used to be a bad user experience - now it doesn’t even work. I updated it and now I get error messages for every function. I cant even access the class schedule! The Y really needs to invest in a competent app development company. Pitiful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nightmare!! *2026-04-18, version 3.9* Still the absolute worst app ever experienced!!! Unfortunately I have NO CHOICE but to use this to be able to interact with my gym but after more than 2 years of glitch after glitch after glitch it still has so many issues that prevent me from booking classes, getting into the app, freezing, kicking me out of the app & having to sign in over & over again then requiring my credit card info to download the app again since I had to delete it to be able to get back into it. Why the cc info if it’s FREE??? That’s none of your business & shouldn’t be required to install the app!!! NIGHTMARE!!! ### 1/5 — TRASH *2025-09-28, version 3.8* So beware if you don’t have your barcode handy, this app locks you out when creating an account. Also if you send any email to customer service, emails are returned back to you with a delivery failure. What’s the point in having an app that locks people out. It’s garbage. Fix it! ### 1/5 — Keeps getting worse *2025-06-04, version 3.6* This app continues to be garbage and is the mail reason people don’t book classes in advance, and every class ends up being over attended by people who never registered. We keep getting charged more for membership to receive worse services - both in the app and in person! ### 1/5 — Can’t book classes *2025-05-29, version 3.6* Every time I try to book a class, I get something went wrong, book later ### 1/5 — Please fix *2025-05-14, version 3.6* Echoing others this app won’t let me book a class at times & frequently gives me an error or the spinning just continues indefinitely. Something is wrong here. ### 1/5 — Error, Error, Error *2025-05-13, version 3.6* App is worthless outside of accessing basic info. Each time I try to access any of the schedules - group fitness, pool, courts, etc., I get an error message. ### 1/5 — Constant errors *2025-05-10, version 3.6* Recently joined the YMCA and was excited to use the app. However almost every link I click in the app yields the error “something went wrong. Please try again”…. ### 1/5 — Error booking classes *2025-05-07, version 3.6* I just downloaded this app and I have had problems already. I can’t book any classes due to some error message popping up saying try again later. I tried later and it’s still the same message. Please fix, it’s the only way to book classes ### 1/5 — Please fix *2025-04-17, version 3.6* I use this app every day to reserve classes at the Y. Every other time I launch the app, it crashes and I need to shut down and relaunch. For a few day several weeks ago, not all the classes were showing up. ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2025-03-31, version 3.6* The. Worst. App. Ever! Previous company was better! Never had glitches! Now, the only way I can sign up for a class is to shut my phone down, then turn back on! Lately, even that doesn’t work! Why is it so hard to fix this when I know many group fitness members have same issue since it was installed! Ridiculous & totally unacceptable!! FIX IT!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The YMCA of the Triangle sets the standard. *2025-11-12, version 3.8* The YMCA of the Triangle is the largest and highest quality community service non profit in the area serving thousands of families. It’s not. Health club it’s an enlightened self interest self selected quality group of positive intentionally healthy individuals. ### 5/5 — Excellent Fitness App *2025-11-06, version 3.8* Functional and easy to use ### 5/5 — add support for iOS shortcuts to enable a shortcut to display the barcode for the scanner *2025-09-21* add support for iOS shortcuts to enable a shortcut to display the barcode for the scanner. the shortcuts app on iOS requires the developers of the app u want to make a shortcut with to like enable functionality on it, something like that. The goal is i can add a shortcut to my phone’s home screen that enables me to display the barcode in just one tap from my home screen. now i can scan into the ymca every day with just one tap. instead of having to open the app and wait for it to load and then tap the barcode thing in the corner and wait for that to load i could just press one shortcut icon from my home screen and then by the time i walk in the door it’s ready to scan ### 5/5 — Perfect for finding and booking classes *2025-08-13, version 3.7* Great app for finding classes at any Y. Easy to book and cancel classes. Paul B. ### 5/5 — User friendly *2025-01-29, version 3.6* The app is easy to use and informative ### 5/5 — YMCA Scheduling App *2025-01-24, version 3.6* The app is easy to use and navigate thru. I love the rating feature as well as being able to record your workout. It’s also pretty cool to see where you rank in terms of your workout as compared to other members. ### 5/5 — Great user interface *2025-01-22, version 3.6* Well designed app. No bugs. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2024-03-06, version 3.3* Muy bueno su personal y entrenadores bellas personas ### 5/5 — My Exercise Número Uno Pick *2024-03-06* Over the years, I’ve been a member of several different gyms and exercise groups. For sheer quality and range, non-compare to the Carrboro-Chapel Hill YMCA. It’s facility is excellent and varied as is its range of offerings and exercise equipment. This facility meets the wide-ranging needs of people ranging from pre-schoolers to seniors. And folks like me: Picky! 😍 ### 5/5 — Smooth experience and easy to use app! *2024-03-03, version 3.3* Love this app. I can book workouts and quickly get the information I need. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
