## Description

CSUN Mobile App serves as the official campus companion for CSUN students, alumni, and supporters, designed for a seamless mobile experience. The May 2024 redesign introduces a fresh interface, reorganized navigation, and quick access to campus services, maps, dining, events, parking, and safety information.

Tailored sections cover Students (class search, enrollment, grades, housing, financial aid, on-campus services), Faculty/Staff (HR, payroll, benefits, campus tools), and campus life resources (housing, health, USU, IT Help Desk, MataCard), making it easy to stay connected and engaged across CSUN.

## Review summary

Users broadly appreciate the CSUN app's redesign and breadth of features (class schedules, maps, parking, dining, transcripts). However, recurring issues undermine the experience: authentication friction (2FA/DUO and sign-ins across sections), reliability problems (slow performance and blank pages), and gaps where essential tasks can’t be completed in-app (enrolling, paying tuition, waitlists, alumni card). Additional mobile usability gaps exist on iPad and for certain features. Improving authentication, performance, and true mobile optimization would significantly improve usability.

### Pros

- Redesigned UI with easier navigation and a strong search feature.
- Easy access to class/exam schedules and academic info (grades, financial aid, transcripts).
- Parking information and real-time space availability.
- Campus map/navigation, including a 3D map.
- Dining hours and other campus services (self-service menus, job applications).

### Cons

- Frequent authentication friction: required sign-ins across sections, 2FA/DUO, and inconsistent login persistence.
- Reliability and performance issues: slow load times, occasional blank pages, and crashes; often slower than the website.
- Inability to complete essential tasks within the app: enrolling, paying tuition, waitlists, or accessing alumni cards are blocked or require web access.
- Incomplete mobile optimization: some features not mobile-friendly (e.g., parking permit purchases); iPad UI visibility issues; app feels like a wrapper around a mobile site.
