## Review summary

The KSU Mobile app was once a helpful resource for managing class schedules and campus navigation, but recent updates have introduced significant issues. Multiple users report inability to log in due to a broken login button, frequent freezes, constant loading screens, and app crashes. Fingerprint authentication and staying signed in features no longer work properly. While the app previously had a user-friendly design and useful features, ongoing glitches severely hamper its reliability and convenience.

### Pros

- App was previously useful for checking class schedules and navigating KSU resources.
- Built-in campus map system was helpful for students.
- User friendly interface when functioning properly.

### Cons

- Login button frequently does not work, preventing access to the app.
- App often freezes or becomes extremely slow, affecting usability.
- App frequently gets stuck on loading screens and fails to fully load content.
- Fingerprint login and persistent sign-in options no longer function reliably.
- App crashes or closes unexpectedly during login attempts, especially with Microsoft authentication.
