User Reviews

Multiple users report that the MIT Tim Tickets Android app is plagued by frequent crashes, login problems including OTP failures, and buggy selfie uploads for Mobile ID. The app's interface is confusing and lacks proper guidance, and it fails to support some devices without NFC without warning users. Although the app features an appealing mascot image and users appreciate friendly security personnel, the overall experience is frustrating and unreliable, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among MIT community members.

Pros

The app includes a visually appealing design element featuring Tim the Beaver, adding some campus spirit.
Security guards at MIT are noted to be friendly, providing a positive in-person experience despite app issues.

Cons

The app frequently crashes, making it unusable for many users.
Login process is flawed, with errors like "Stale Request" and failure to send OTP codes, preventing access.
Mobile ID selfie upload feature is bugged, causing errors and inability to complete setup.
App does not support all phone models, especially those without NFC, but this limitation is not clearly communicated.
Navigation and user interface design are confusing and inconsistent, with buttons changing functions unexpectedly.

Recent reviews

This app does not work properly. It is an embarrassment to MIT because MIT bills itself as a technology-leading center.

Errors when trying to upload a selfie for the Mobile ID which renders the app useless. Tried multiple times with different photos/sources. Always just: error
