## Review summary

Users praise the campus social-networking concept and the ability to link social profiles, but the app is repeatedly blocked by login issues tied to Facebook, 'development mode' restrictions, and lack of alternatives. This leads to inconsistent access and unsupported schools (e.g., CMU). Help features also seem broken. Overall, potential remains, but accessibility and platform limitations hinder adoption.

### Pros

- Great concept for university social networking and meeting people on campus.
- Ability to link social profiles to the app helps connect with others.
- Potential to find roommates or classmates and use group chats.

### Cons

- Facebook login is required and often fails or is blocked due to 'development mode' messages.
- App often marks itself as 'still in development' or inaccessible, preventing use even with internet.
- No alternative login methods (no email/phone/Google), excluding users without Facebook.
- Some universities are not supported or have been removed (e.g., CMU), reducing usefulness.
- Support/help features are broken or unresponsive (unable to submit requests).
