Error Messages

Not Primary Device

If you receive an error 'This is not the primary device' when attempting to use your app, you will need to speak to a member of staff at reception who will have a QR code which will resolve the issue. This error prevents the same account being used on more than one device at a time. 

I can not use the app to gain access through the barriers

To gain access through the barriers using your phone on our Check In tiles at Holywell, Powerbase, the Swimming Pool and HiPAC, please ensure that you have done the following;

  • Booked a session in the facility, the gates will not open unless a valid booking is present.
  • Logged into the Lboro Sport app with your credentials.
  • Update the Lboro Sport app to the latest version in the App Store and Google Play. Please note the minimum iOS requirement as of December 2023 is version 15.
