User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's ability to manage class schedules, campus events, and access useful campus information. However, many find that recent updates have degraded the app's performance with frequent crashes, auto logouts, removal of key features like widgets and campus map, and loss of useful functionalities present in the older version. The user interface is considered less functional and buggy, making the app frustrating to use despite its potential benefits.

Pros

Helps users keep track of their class schedules and calendars, with export functionality.
Provides information about campus events and allows users to see upcoming registered events.
Displays WatCard balance and meal plans (though this feature is reportedly removed in newer versions by some users).
Offers campus life updates, research news, and weather analysis that users find helpful.
User interface with black and gold design appreciated by some users.

Cons

App frequently logs users out, with no option to stay logged in, causing frustration.
Recent updates have led to many bugs, app crashes, and freezing issues.
Removal of useful widgets and features compared to the old version, including campus map and WatCard balance display.
Poor and simplified user interface after updates, losing useful functionalities.
App sometimes fails to load or gets stuck on error messages after updates.

Recent reviews

Terrible app; if I could rate negative, I would. Not only does the android version log you out of the app every time you open it. It doesn't even have a "keep me logged in option." Moreover, it lacks the simple features present on the ios version. For example, a campus map with all the current buildings and their names listed on it, a way to look at something more than just my total Wat card balance, and an overall poor user interface. If you dont need to, don't use the app. Use the website.
