Why must the rally app be so difficult? downloaded app and tried to follow the instructions found in rally app portion on the National rally information. install, install again input my email address, create account? password? job title? organization? FORGET IT (n)
 
There is what appears to be a rather complete tutorial here-


Being that this is a new piece of software (app) there is a (an) expectation of a sign in along with authentication.

If I was to sign in, I would use two devices so I was able to follow the step by step sign-up tutorial and be sure I downloaded the correct app for my device.

Tried to do as shown above, but what is shown above and what appears on the app is not the same
 
Really? It requires a tutorial? Nope. Not in my universe. What ever happened to "user friendly"?
I think it’s just to help those that think it’s an app coupled to the regular MOA login.. a lot of the trouble and misunderstandings that happen here is that there is a dual authentication deal going on between the MOA site and the forum.

FWIW- Backing out of an app usually results in the app not being there. As there are members that achieved success with this app, it's sound like procedural errors. At least with no evidence of the app on your phone, you have a blank slate to try again.
BTW- it sounds like you already had a rally registration?

I used attendee for job title and bmwmoa for organization
 
Sure wish we could return to the Rally Book/Guide product. Last year in Redmond, the APP failed to perform satisfactory.
Staff had to print out daily seminar and the schedule in general.
As many paying attendees didn't own the best smart phone, or any device, for the necessary information.
When it did work, it wasen't bad.
But it was no old school Rally Manual with a map, allowing ease of use, that you could write in.

Unfortunately that’s where we’re headed so I suspect we just need to make the best of it as it’s not going to change. I struggle with similar issues with the new RT’s not having a dedicated GPS mount. Everything is about “your phone” 🤨
