## Review summary

The VITian app suffers from frequent service unavailability and reliability issues, especially after recent updates. Many users report that the app fails to work on devices with developer options enabled or rooted, leading to login problems. Updates have made the interface more complicated and separated useful features like attendance from the timetable. The app often gets stuck loading or fails to open, requiring repeated reinstallations.

- App does not work on devices with developer options enabled or rooted devices, causing many users to be unable to login.
- Recent updates have degraded the user experience by making navigation cumbersome and separating attendance from timetable, which was inconvenient.

- App lacks important features such as integrated attendance percentage in timetable, digital assignment uploads, and proper course material downloads, impacting functionality.
