One of the worst apps I’ve ever used. Prompts me to log back in constantly, and tells me my password is incorrect when I know it is not. I have to go through the password reset process every time I use the app. The authentication process is extremely buggy, which makes the app almost unusable.

despite all the information entered, does not automatically tie to my existing membership but instead appears to create a new one. “Benefits” defaults to my county for location, and when I opt for “New Location” to enter major cities along an upcoming travel route, each location I try produces “No Results.” So far just a […]

App needs some improvements in navigation and a special section that marks off the rewards. It’s jumbled and can be confusing especially to anyone new to the internet. Plus, I haven’t gotten my cards, but I keeping get notices in the mail to join as if my joining has been unlinked somewhere. Otherwise it’s a […]

Interesting and relevant articles, but it would be so much more useful to be able to bookmark them for reading later/saving them, to be able to share with others, or making notes of important points to save to a personal notebook… so many improvements that could be made to make this app more useful than […]

There’s pretty much no point for this app. The points are useless you can enter them into drawings that you will never win or they can help you get discounts to spend a ton more money on their website. But truth be told as much as I love discounts there’s almost nothing here that’s going […]

Medicore at best. There should be better ways to find things in my area. Asked to search for restaurants in my county and gives them for 100’s of miles away. Don’t think so. Also, insane that when you hit Learn More it takes you online and you need to enter password again. I use apps […]

I’m an AARP member, pay dues and make donations and still have to watch ads to get to some places, like doing puzzles, etc., to earn points. This frustration is exacerbated by having to click through so many screens to get there. Then, after all that effort, the options to redeem rewards is pathetic. Most […]

Downloaded the app. It told me I was entering the incorrect password. I definately was not! Retried several times. Uninstalled the app! As most other reviewers have said…PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS! One can’t even get past the log in. I’ll come back and try again in the future. No one has time to keep playing to […]

There are no real discounts with this app/membership. The discounts they provide for hotels/cars are the same from a general Google search. Now the price has increased to $20. I just cancelled auto renew. I’m not saving anything with AARP. And their customer service is lacking. Can’t reach them via chat. When I called, I […]

I have the app on my phone for my parents. Haven’t used it much for the actual services, but I do get push notifications from them. I went into settings and turned off notifications for news articles, as they were totally irrelevant, but they still come up on my screen. I contacted customer services and […]

I really do not like the app. Probably 99% of what I see is useless. Tried to search hotel discounts in a certain area, got nothing. Tried to opt out of basically every notification, my inbox is overflowing. Don’t want emails, get them every day. Tried autobot chat – 3 times – talks about human […]

Glitchy app. Cant add spouse. Rejects name saying it can’t be the same as primary member even though they are different. Bizarre. No customer service email, just a brainless chat bot. It’s already not looking promising for renewal if they can’t even get the basics right. Also, after only a few days, I am being […]

Won’t accept my email. Baffles me that there are apps and web sites that still don’t allow email addresses with special characters, a hyphen in my case. Also, when I hit the registration button, I can see the “check for a valid email address” message, then the app locks up. I have to kill the […]

CONSTANT problems with actually earning points. Constantly getting the error message “Sorry, no points this time. We are experiencing longer than expected delays in your points awarding. Please check yout transaction history in a couple of minutes.” This started about 6 months ago. I have uninstalled/reinstalled. So annoying that this is a reoccurring thing cause […]

I have used this app for years, and I still have issues with loading the crossword puzzle games. All other games load just fine. I’ve tried deleting cache, uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. The other reason I only give 3 stars is the reward points. I have over 55,000 points, but can’t find any […]

Don’t know much about app, don’t really use it. I just wanted it for the bar code in case there’s a discount I can use. But with that comes a barrage of notifications (five yesterday, three so far today). Basically notifications are all or nothing — can’t get just offer notifications without getting all the […]

Yikes! Applying for a life policy through the app, and I need my membership number. It would be great if it would have carried over and populated, but okay. Since I don’t have my physical card handy, I had to back out of the almost complete application to look it up. Then, on my second […]

It’s ok. There is a lot to see if I could get to it. For example, if Iry to open one of the Now News articles the only ones that launch are the advertisements. Very frustrating. Also, when reviewing the different benefits like the AARP bookstore, clicking on “Learn more” does nothing for me. I […]

I paid for the 5 year membership 4 years ago and so far I have gotten nothing out of it except repeat attempts by AARP to get me to pay for more years. The discounts are either useless (other deals are much better) or don’t apply. The information is mostly common sense. The website has […]

Way too many notifications. Would rather get one daily notification listing everything instead of eight notifications a day. Of course the notifications are the only way to access an article. God forbid you click out or want to read it again. They’re is no search function, no link to the website, no way to share […]
