This is the most infuriating app I have EVER used. I contacted support and they said I probably “had too many open files” on my phone. I had my husband get the App. It closes on him constantly, as well. We are trying to find a house and it’s infuriating to have it close mid search or if I find one I like and want to screenshot or jot it down. I’m hoping this is not a reflection of The Villages and that someone is actually trying to fix the problems.
This app is so helpful! I can wake up each morning to click on all the activities for the day, the week and later in the month. It allows me to purchase tickets and get updates on event changes. I also like to look at the cam to see which town square has a great crowd of dancers to watch and enjoy. I also enjoy seeing the houses for sale, open houses and the prices. It’s just a great app!! Thank you TheVillages Team for keeping this app updated! JackieRB
App CONSTANTLY CRASHES during house search!!! Called The Villages to complain. Can’t believe in this day & age when even my stupid solitaire app never crashes, that a large corporation like The Villages would let these problems continue with this app. C’mon, read the reviews - it’s happening to everyone who uses it for house searches. Why spend money on advertising if you can’t fix your app when people actually want to search for a house??? Get this fixed, no excuses! Been going on for years!!!
I actually enjoy the app but it refuses to let me sign in. It takes the credentials but then the circle spins and the app locks up. As long as I’m not trying to log in, everything appears to mostly work. Wish they would fix this. I’ve tried rebooting the app, deleting and reinstalling, and rebooting my iPad. It doesn’t work on any of my iDevices so I’m certain it’s a kiss on the developers part.
Why is there zero information given about activities? It lists the time and place but that’s all. You never know if the music is practice or a performance? What equipment is required for various exercise classes? Do the dance lessons start new or am I trying to join with a class that started weeks ago? It’s infuriating and could easily be remedied if anyone cared.
The app is helpful for knowing generally what businesses and amenities there are available, it gives the hours for them too which is great! It does seem like there needs to be fixes as far as clicking on further links like website/directions, it just leads me to a blank screen.
Unfortunately the Villages navigate stopped working for my wife and I thus putting us on a restricted road. How can this happen with the fact so many have reported problems with the Villages app yet the problem continues?
Please fix/stop the ‘migrating’ pop ups, it obviously isn’t doing anything. Please fix the sign in issue- no matter when I try to sign in, it never connects, the connection just spins and leaves one with a white screen- no matter which device I try signing in on. Can’t save favorites, I’m not even sure what else the app is supporting be useful for, as I am unable to secure a connection. Please fix this app.
The recent updates have made thins much worse. The app crashes constantly. It won’t load up anymore. I have deleted it and tried the next download on 3 separate occasions and it still won’t open. I never had problems before the recent updates. I relied heavily upon it before. I hope “they “ fix it soon.
They can build a great community but their technology department leaves something to be desired. Before their most recent “update”, the app consistently crashed when searching for homes. Now it just freezes and requires you to delete the app and reinstall it. Come on TV, you can and should be doing much better than this!!!
App no longer loads. Freezes at a green screen and goes no further. Rebooting, reloading, refreshing all fail. Does anyone at the villages beta test the updates? They’re many people having the same issue. Check Facebook and you will find them. Just one more cheap shortcut taken by The Villages.
Every time and I do mean EVERY TIME I use this app after 4 or 5 minutes it starts flickering and shuts down. Which means starting my search over. I can never get anything accomplished.
I continue to look and get kicked off the app time and time again. As much as I’d like to target retirement in The Villages, I can’t help but think if the website is this bad, what’s it like living there. I’m giving it one more try and then I’ll move on to something better.
This app never works correctly. It functions about 1 in 5 times . I have to shut my phone down and back on and even then it is still a good chance it will again malfunction. The older version at least worked better.
When navigating you now changed the blue course to follow line to black and it’s harder to follow. Also your verbal directions still kill my Bluetooth music. I then have to go back to the music app to restart it UNTIL THE NEXT TURN DERAILS IT AGAIN !!! If your objective was to push me to the Villages GPS app, it worked.
Both me and my wife have iPhones. With version 3.1.18 we could not use the Villages app. It is now working for both of us because we updated the iOS from 14 to 15. Hope this helps.
My wife installed on her iphone, it kept crashing. She deleted & reinstalled, still crashing. We installed on my iphone, app won’t open, just a blank green screen. Deleted app & reinstalled on my iPhone again, same green screen. Pls get your act together & fix this.
Please fix the bugs in the new app. The upgrade is terrible. Worked for awhile then stopped.I have downloaded it and deleted it numerous times. I still can’t get it to work any longer. Somebody should be able to figure this out.
I wish I could say that this app was useful but I’d be lying. The golf cart directions literally said nothing but turn on “multi-modal trail”. What does that even mean?! There are NO signs that say multimodal trail. On top of that the directions don’t reroute themselves if you take a wrong turn. Pay the $6.99 for the real golf cart app & save yourself a headache!
Approximately two weeks ago I updated my iPad to iOS 16.7.4. At that point The Villages app quit working, will not open. When attempting to open the app, it initially looks like it is going to open but all I get is the green screen. Doesn’t anyone keep this app up-to-date?
It is still not working- constantly have to delete and go through the whole process of re-installing every time I log on. Either fix it or don’t offer the app- too frustrating and it gives a bad impression of The Villages.
I seriously don’t understand why this latest version is still in the App Store. So many of us only get a blank green screen and nothing else. Unacceptable. Not having access to a functioning app on our upcoming lifestyle visit will be a major negative.
If you’re loading the app for the golf cart directions, save yourself time and aggravation and use the Google bicycle directions instead. Only response I get on the app when requesting directions is “Failed to solve route”.
App used to be prettiest dark green permanent flashlight!
Now it’s a mix of light green, a touch of light green, some yellows, and some tiny boxes wrapped inside bigger boxes. What gives?! At least they didn’t take away the “failed to solve route” feature. That’s worth 1 star.
Issues with logging in to save favorites. I log on with email and password, and the site says 'logged out.' Tried 10 times, chafed my password, and have given up on the site. Horrible site.
I am really surprised that this app doesn’t get fixed. We used it for golf cart directions and it worked. But we can never log in as others have stated. Which means we can’t save locations. Please fix this app.
Downloaded app can access everything but when I enter info to sign up i constantly get an error. What’s the point when I can’t save anything unless I sign up???
V3.1.17 - unable to login. Deleted and reinstalled the app, restarted device, now can’t get past the green screen with The Villages logo. Same behavior on two separate iPhones and two iPads.
This app no longer works. All I get is a green screen. First it said “the villages 3.1.15” Then it said “the villages 3.1.16” now it says “the villages 3.1.17” all with a green screen. I wish someone would fix it… it used to be a good app.
