User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's inclusion of campus maps, directories, and shuttle information in a unified format. However, multiple reviews point out consistent issues with the shuttle locator called Circ, which often freezes or fails to update. The app is criticized for poor performance, crashes, lack of proper search features after updates, missing menus, and an overall clunky, embedded browser feel. Users also note excessive content without clear navigation, making the app less user-friendly despite its potential usefulness for campus-related information.

Pros

Includes maps of main and medical campuses with building lookup and people directory.
Offers a unified app integrating multiple services, which is a good concept.
Provides shuttle route information for campus transportation.
Users find the app helpful for certain campus-related tasks.
Supports information about Washington University and its community.

Cons

Shuttle locator feature (Circ) frequently does not work or update, freezing or failing to display shuttle locations and times.
App is slow, runs poorly, and crashes randomly on some Android versions.
Search functionality for buildings is broken or missing after updates.
Menus and certain app content (e.g., specials or shuttle routes) often fail to show or load properly.
The app behaves like a poor embedded browser, lacking smooth integration and user experience improvements.
The app is considered too bulky with too much packed in, causing usability issues and confusion.
There are inconsistencies between stated features (e.g., tracking specific shuttle routes) and actual functionality.

Too much packed into the app. I received many "page not found" errors. Reduce the amount of information and link out to the website. Tell the user when you are going to send them to the browser.
