### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-15, version 13.3.6*

I have downloaded and reloaded and it still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-10*

For several days I have tried reloading and it still refuses to come up. If YMCA wants people to use the app, they need to get it to work or just start using the cards again.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-10-07, version 13.3.5*

My app is still not working I have done everything to get it to work . It worked last week but I can’t get it to open up at all . Such a pain

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-24, version 13.3.3*

Worked until about a week ago. Wasn’t a particularly good app to begin with, but we were forced to use it.

### 1/5 — Awful. Can’t even login

*2025-05-07, version 13.1.6*

After reading other reviews, I didn’t even want the app to start with. Unfortunately, the old app the Y had stopped working. All it would do is refer me to a new app. First issue - The new app it linked me to wasn’t even the right one. It was egym. Second, I can’t login. When I click ‘forgot my password,’ all it does is go back to the Home Screen. They don’t even have the city right for my home Y. Completely useless. Now every time I go to the Y, I have to give my phone number to the person at the front desk to get checked in.

### 1/5 — 10 steps back.

*2025-04-04, version 13.1.6*

Old app was way better. Now we need two apps for the Y and EGym. Can’t use my Apple Watch to get into the Y, need to dig my iPhone out.  I can add app to wallet, but it doesn’t show up on Apple Watch. Newer is not better in this case.

### 1/5 — The previous app was SO much better

*2025-04-01, version 13.1.6*

This app is disappointing. I can’t find any of the information that I had in the previous app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-31, version 13.1.6*

Worst forced app transition ever!!!

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-03-31, version 13.1.6*

Not sure why this was needed besides to waste my time

### 1/5 — Significant downgrade

*2025-03-30, version 13.1.6*

What exactly did the Y think it was improving with this app? It’s a glorified version of their website, which isn’t great. I used to be able to see workout logs, rankings among other members, and eGym information in the old app. This new version is not worth keeping on my device.
