## Review summary

MIT Mobile is useful and feature-rich for navigation, shuttle info, and MIT updates, with a polished UI. However, recurring problems include app crashes (especially Stellar), unreliable shuttle data (locations, timing, and missing Saferide info), and limited off-campus usability. Some features also fail or behave inconsistently (self-guided tour, dining hall status). Addressing stability and data completeness would significantly improve user satisfaction.

### Pros

- Shuttle tracking with GPS helps me get around MIT.
- Maps and location-based features are helpful for navigation.
- Wide range of MIT info (news, events, campus updates) in one app.
- Polished UI and design; visually appealing.
- Useful for students, faculty, and staff; broad MIT community coverage.

### Cons

- Crashes and stability issues, especially with Stellar (app crashes on startup).
- Shuttle data reliability issues: inaccurate locations, wrong directions, and incomplete data (Saferide times missing; only Tech Shuttle times shown).
- Limited off-campus usefulness; on-campus-only.
- Some features don't work as expected (self-guided tour not functioning).
- Data accuracy problems for dining halls (shows closed when they aren't).
