User Reviews

The NIU iOS app is valued for campus information and bus tracking, but users repeatedly cite a problematic map and accessibility barriers, plus stability and integration gaps. Critics want the old map restored or an option to switch, restored VoiceOver support, reliable bus tracking, and essential features like MyNIU and NIU email. Updates should also fix Blackboard crashes and ensure current bus routes and a smoother UI.

Pros

Useful campus info on the go, especially bus tracking.
Generally helpful and useful for students.
Dining hall hours visibility adds practicality.

Cons

New map version is slow and glitchy; building names are missing; many users want the old map back.
Accessibility issues: VoiceOver support and dining menus are not accessible in updates.
Stability issues: Blackboard crashes and bus tracker failures after updates.
Bus routes/tracking outdated or unreliable after updates.
Missing MyNIU and NIU email integration (MyNIU and NIU Webmail).

I love how I can check for the bus and other things related to going to NIU on the go

The current version of the map is terrible. It's slow, glitchy, and the names of the buildings aren't listed. The old version worked much better and it was much easier to find out which buildings are which. Change back to the only version.
