Poor execution

I just received my packet with my cards. In the packet, underneath the new cards, it shows two ways to access your membership. One is to log on the website. The other is to text a word to the number listed and it’s supposed to give you a link so that you can download AARPNow . I did that… And got a... Show more

I’m Really Tired of Tilting My Head!

When I searched for AARPNow and saw one for an iPad, I happily downloaded it. I figured, like many of the Apps, it would just ‘accommodate’ to whichever position in which the iPad was being used. I, like many, have a keyboard attached to my iPad. It’s very inconvenient, as well as uncomfortable t... Show more

Horrible App & Company

AARPNow doesn’t allow you to cancel your account! Oh it has the feature to do so but when you click cancel AARPNow pops up a “are you sure?” pop up that prevents you from canceling your account. Then to add insult to injury they show that their call center is open until 11pm EST, nope, closed bef... Show more

Stepping backwards

I used the old app to read the magazine and newsletter. I downloaded the new app and see that it’s only available in portrait mode and is really a phone app, not an iPad app. I read reviews that are well over a year old and saw the same complaints I’m writing here. Developer responses said (b... Show more

Mobile App Login Issues

I recently joined AARP. I downloaded AARPNow and during the 2-3 weeks I’ve been a member I’ve only been able to access AARPNow once. I am constantly receiving an error message “Sorry. Something went wrong on our end. Please try again in a few moments.” I’ve deleted/re-downloaded a handful of time... Show more

Will it ever work?!

Haven’t been able to sign in since joining. Looking at reviews, it looks like it hasn’t worked in a long time! What the heck are we paying for???

Also, always a canned “so sorry, we’re fixing it” or no response at all. Looks like one guy running this out of his shed (can’t even afford a gara... Show more

Can't access AARPBulletins or AARP Magazines

I cannot view either copies of the current or past AARPBulletins or AARP Magazines. Previously, there was a AARP Publications app that gave access to these issues, are you going to give that access to these publications? AARPNow is a step backwards for those of us that have difficulty reading th... Show more

AARP’s website is cumbersome and antiquated

I went on to book a trip for the first time on the AARP website and spent over 20 minutes just trying to get a hotel which I already knew which one I wanted and a flight. It took forever because you couldn’t find things and a lot of places after entering the information there was no done or enter b... Show more

Terrible app for such a big org

Absolutely the worst app I have for any org. It’s not even optimized for iPads so you get a tiny phone sized screen in the middle of a big black, wasted screen. Your are then limited to the few icons at the bottom to navigate the few things Aarp allows. There is no linkage to the Medicare advantage... Show more

Easy Fixes

TL;DR: Not optimized for iPad’s bigger screen real estate; Keychain functionality missing.

I really blame Apple for this. I’ve seen a lot of this; Apple allows a developer to say their app works on the iPad. Technically, this is true. But what that means to you and me and millions of other u... Show more

Is this 2020 or 2010?

‘Cuz AARPNow — the NEW app, replacing two no-longer-supported apps (AARP & AARP Member Benefits), looks like it was designed for iOS 3.
First of all, a non-Universal app that doesn’t even support landscape and must be viewed at 2X on an iPad is, IMO, pathetic. Who’s advising you on this stu... Show more

Is AARP trying to make members feel old?

The functionality of the collection of iOS apps with AARP in the name is not apparent to the naked observer. What do each of them do, except demand different orientations which are mostly at odds with different devices? I’m sure there is actual good intent behind the various offerings, but I’ll adm... Show more

If you have trouble connecting to your membership

I had missed the deadline to renew, so as soon as I restarted my membership, I installed AARPNow. When I tried to set up AARPNow , it asked me to enter my membership number to “connect my membership with my AARP account.” That is confusing, as what would be the difference between my membership acc... Show more

Wrong times for events listed under events

I just downloaded AARPNow and all the events are basically listed in the middle of the night. Just thought you might want to fix that. Also when I clicked on “get tickets,” nothing happens. Hope to see this stuff fixed, so that AARPNow becomes more useable. Thank you!

AARP is good info and good reads!

It is hard to find good info for health and general upkeep of a senior lifestyle. ASRP provides good updates and clear easy to read info on much of what you should or want to know.
They also offer great discounts. We just saved a ton of money on our rental car from our just passed 2 week vacati... Show more

To the point!

I like that your articles are short into the point.I just read the article about five items that will be scarce at the grocery stores this year. I like that I could read it and not have to go around the history of the world before you got to the point. Sometimes I don’t have time to read a long art... Show more

AARP ❤️

Every senior should be sure they get AARP . They offer us so much in the ways we need to be involved and informed on all issues pertaining to our age group! They advocate for us. They bring us much needed discounts for so many services! I am thankful for you ! I give you a trillion stars !

CHECK OUT AARP and see what I found out.

Have always liked AARP ever since I joined this great organization. Also love the way this organization has a supplemental medical plan after retirement. I checked into so many plans till I found AARP Plan. I’ve been so happy with this plan I signed up for 7 years ago. They’ve been very go to me an... Show more

Thank you for all your updates, always!

If it wasn’t for AARP I’d never know of the “news” that’s solely available for Seniors. I’m a former journalist and informative news for Seniors is essential. It can be a life time to the “time” left and how to make the most of it. I’m not trying to be dramatic just a realist. Thank you…

App doesn’t show spouse as secondary member

I can’t rate it because I just downloaded AARPNow today. But there are a few differences from the website you might fix.
AARPNow profile doesn’t show my spouse as secondary member even though the .org website does.
AARPNow also doesn’t show auto renewal but the website does.
I don’t s... Show more

Viewing format

I've just downloaded the new app & it seems to only open on Portrait format. I use Landscape so find this very bothersome...a royal pain. Soooooo...unless that changes I’ll use the internet. Why in blazes do you & others assume everyone uses the same tilt? Grrrrrr!

Version 2.0

In order to sync my apple health to my account you need to have version 2.0. I have checked my iPhone and iPad and both only have version 2.19 available.

LANDSCAPE

AARPNow is useless, because it’s difficult to see in portrait. Older people, who you represent can see better if the screen can rotate. (Or perhaps it’s the advertisers) Please do not respond with your usual “landscape is not available at this time.” JUST FIX IT. If you can’t then get a more qual... Show more

Why discontinue the old iPad app and replace with iPhone version

I noticed the aarp app on my iPad didn’t update, and the message was it was discontinued and to load the new aarp now app. The AppStore shows it as an iPad app, but the download is an iPhone version, portrait mode only, and shrunk to fit iPhone form.
Is there an iPad version?

Can this be an iPad app please?

I downloaded his for my iPhone then for the iPad. It’s not an iPad formatted version. Can you create this for the iPad please. Thanks.

Apple Watch

On the website to add your activity tracker (Apple Watch) it says I need to install the AARP Now app, I did and there is nothing here to sync the watch to my AARP acct to start earning the 150 points a day.

Not what I thought.

I was hoping to find broader information, tap into past articles relevant to me. Maybe some planning information or tools.

Does not update membership

I renewed my membership online and yet AARPNow does not renew the virtual card.

Marcos

I just purchased the 2 year membership for 20 dollars. Including a gift wireless speaker. Email saying thank you. And you’re membership will renewal at 16 dollars the following year. Should be after 2 years. Correct ?

Bad maps for events

The new app looks great but the maps for our events is the same map for each event. Please fix this. It would be nice to have the correct map for each event. Thank you.

Syncing to Apple Watch a mystery

I’ve downloaded AARPNow . Where are the directions for linking to my Apple Watch Health?

App

I am having difficulty downloading to register AARPNow . My membership is good through Sept 10 th . I need this resolved before my trip as you cannot seen me a replacement card to use in time for my trip . I have never used this card for any discounts but does not seem user friendly when I do want ... Show more

Sweet!!! Love workout rewards!

This is awesome! I get points for my Apple Watch workouts! I’ve wanted this for a long time since I’ve never had a Fitbit. Now everyone can be happy. Looks like the rewards program changed for the better too.

Easy access to my AARP card and discounts!

Great app providing easy access to my AARP membership card, plus news relevant to me and useful info events and discounts.
