User Reviews

Users consistently praise the app for its digital ID, COVID attestations, and overall ease of use, calling it essential for MIT life. However, recurring forced updates, occasional door/access outages, feature gaps vs the web app, limited device compatibility, and onboarding/sign-in usability issues are the main recurring negatives.

Pros

Mobile digital ID on phone and watch enables easier campus access and ID management.
COVID-19 attestation and testing flow is described as smooth and reliable.
The app is generally straightforward and easy to use.
The app is essential for MIT activities and widely used by students and staff.

Cons

Frequent mandatory updates disrupt usage and can block attestation or access, with some reviews citing daily or near-daily updates.
Attestation and door access can suffer delays or lockouts due to update requirements or server outages, causing long waits.
There are feature gaps versus the MIT web app, with some tasks not available in the mobile app.
Only newer iPhone models are supported, creating inequity for users with older devices.
MFA/onboarding UX can be clunky, with issues like autofill not working smoothly and password complexity not being recognized.

Recent reviews

I first wrote a complaint with a grade of 1 star. The app failed repeatedly when I tried to get a copy of my alumni ID with no explanation, just “try later” for days. Someone in Support eventually delved deeper and found the problem. I am very grateful to that individual, and I hope the developers will look into such issues and provide better info to the users. I will gladly upgrade my review if I ever get my ID!

MIT has successfully done amazing things, like create a color out of nanotubes that blocks 99.85% of light reflection, and use the CRISPR-Cas9 enzyme to edit the genetic code in humans. However, some problems are so intractable they can elude even the most intelligent researchers and scientists of our generation, and that includes the problem of how to use one’s phone as a keycard to unlock doors on campus, apparently. You’d think this would be simple compared to, oh, inventing radar technology, but guess which one MIT has done successfully? (Hint: it’s an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging) Anyway, if you like exchanging multiple emails and phone calls with university IT support technicians, or if you like endlessly waving your phone at unresponsive card readers in the freezing cold, this is the app for you!

Got this app for easy Atlas access as an employee, but the app is absolutely useless for that. It has none of the features the web app has. Why even bother
