Ratings and reviews

The app is difficult to use, not intuitive at all. I am disappointed that I can't just add my activities, duration or miles or what have you. It wants me to set a timer to some preset activities. When I try to load individualized activities that I enjoy, there's no way to click "add" them. I'm pretty Tech savvy and if these things are manageable from the app, it is impossible to figure out how. This should be a lot easier to use. Wellness apps shouldn't be stressors.

Great app but have couple minor suggestions. 1) It would be nice for the Shared Lane options to show the number of shared lanes still available, as my wife and I both sign up for a shared lane. If only one shared slot remains, we dont know until the other attempts to get theirs and fails. Then we have to cancel appointment and go to another time slot. 2) Would be nice to make a bigger difference in the look of the reserved vs open timeslots.

If you force me to register for classes on the app ahead of time - fine, I'll download it and use it to register for classes. But don't force the user to "set goals" and "pick a virtual trainer." If you want those features as options someone can opt in to - fine. But it's annoying and makes the app feel busier than it needs to. Give me the important pieces of information front and center instead of putting your extra trash up front and making me dig for the class schedule.
