Houstonian Hotel Club and Spa 12+

My review is primarily for the group exercise part of the app. Through the Mindbody platform, I was able to ‘book’ classes that technically did not need a reservation as well as classes that need a reservation. All of these classes were shown not only through the in app schedule, but were imported to my mobile calendar. Through this app, I can’t add classes that do not need a reservation to a master calendar. Beyond that, the app does not appear to support calendar syncing. Its functionality would be equivalent to taking a photo of the group classes pamphlet if it didn’t require a signal to access the schedule. Instead of feeling like a streamlined, hybrid app, this app runs like Frankensteined native app onto the old web app. There are so many companies now— including MindBody, Mighty Pro, and Moxtra—that make branded apps. The Houstonian went with Pacesetter Technology. Pacesetter Technology markets itself as the industry specific luxury app developer for private clubs. I’m not as interested in “beacon” technology. I don’t really care if a server knows my name nor my preferences. Those services are add-ons and gimmicks. I want a functional, streamlined app. That’s real luxury. This isn’t.

I cannot get beyond the login screen. Useless App.

Registration for website very user unfriendly. As a resident member since 1978 l expected better out of the Houstonian.
