### 1/5 — Door entry does not work

*2026-06-09, version 1.15.5*

Recent update has completely broken the door entry function. I stood at the Hallett Cove door for 15 mins trying to get it to unlock and it simply didn’t work. Worked fine previously.

### 2/5 — Apple Watch compatible

*2026-05-22, version 1.15.4*

Any one using this app in Apple Watch, are developers working on it

### 1/5 — Bring back key fob

*2026-04-17, version 1.15.1*

Only works 20% of the time to get into the gym

### 3/5 — Easy to use but could be better

*2026-04-14*

App is easy to use. It would be great if there are more features on the app such as workout suggestions or workout plan and how to use equipment, account information (and be able to change any details) and scheduled payment.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2026-03-20, version 1.15.0*

Totally unreliable for access to the gym.

### 1/5 — The new app stinks

*2026-03-17, version 1.15.0*

The app is horrible. Go back to nfc tags. Noting it’s a cost savings exercise just let me pay for a tag.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-02-17, version 1.15.0*

I tried many times . It does not working at all . I have to stand outside around 10 mins.

### 4/5 — Digital access tricky

*2026-02-09*

Digital access works fine, IF you know how to use it. 
In-app it tells you to hold the back of your phone to the reader - which doesn’t help.
Really I’ve found holding to top edge of your phone close to the bottom 1/3 of the reader (below the big circular light) will consistently and almost immediately unlock the door.
Would be great if the in-app guidance was more accurate about this

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2026-02-03, version 1.14.0*

Give it a zero for a dysfunctional tap

### 1/5 — Zero stars, go back to fobs!

*2026-01-28, version 1.14.0*

Absolutely the worse system or app to access the gym. Hardy works and most of the time the staff or members have to let me and others in. Get rid of this garbage!
