eduroam CAT

totally useless: -Crash every time you load a configuration, it is impossible to go back to provide your credentials -It is unusable and counter intuitive -Search functionality is a great example of terrible design, it doesn't work and the GUI is annoying. Remove it from the store and go back to the design board, start over, is the best advice you will get.

Unbelievably terrible app. The "nearby institutions" feature doesn't work at all, manual search is extremely user unfriendly. When I type the name of the institution into the searchbar, it returns different results each time within seconds. Also there's generally at least one institution with wrong logo displayed (not wrongly set, just wrongly displayed in the list), which means I can't rely on logos and have to read the whole names. Also, the way the logos are rendered in the list is really fascinating, haven't seen a design this bad since the 90s. All in all, everytime I have to use the app (and I actually have to support a few hundred users who need to use it from time to time), I feel the need to throw my phone over the rainbow.

Android 11. Just get an error "Profile install failed", and a pop-up with "All profiles failed". Very useful. I was in the past able to connect without this crappy app, but since Android 11 they force you to specify a Domain, which was not obligatory before. And since then I can no longer connect. And of course, when you get such a profile install failed error, it just disregards the userid/pw you just typed in. Thanks! On Linux it connects without any problems.

It worked, but the journey was tedious. Local area search is broken and defaults to London universities. Managed to manually search (on mobile data) for my university and found it, though the "distance away" number was vastly incorrect and the wrong logo was shown. Still, I was able to successfully log in and install my profile effortlessly. Shame that this app has a terrible UI and broken features, otherwise it could be far more useful!

App ist rubbish. The config search feature doesn't work at all. As a workaround, install the app, go to the eduroam Website in a browser and download the config file from there. When you tap on the download, the app will open it and install the configuration. The search feature on the website is also poor. My institution was not found, so I typed in my city and the institution appeared in a list of all institutions in that city. To repeat... HORRIBLE APP!

Allowed me to connect to eduroam first time round after not being able to get my university's instructions to work. There are some issues, such as the old android UI vibe, the search taking forever to find my uni (Leicester, other reported the same issue for those outside London), however it's connected wothout the need for the app. Really useful!

Doesn't work, I should be able to connect to Eduroam via my phone's wifi menu, using my university ID and password, however it won't work. So I've downloaded the app (on my mobile data) and that doesn't work either. Extremely pissed off. Tried resetting my university password and double checked the ID, but Eduroam will not accept it. What's the point of even having this service.

Messes up bluetooth I got a new Android phone running the latest OS, which worked fine until I installed the certificate to use Eduroam. As soon I installed the certificate, it stopped detecting new bluetooth devices. I thought I got a faulty phone the first time, swapped it for a new one, same problem. Reset my connections, worked fine again. Installed the certificate, and it stops scanning for bluetooth again.

my university moved to this app for Wi-Fi connection. Followed their directions on two different phones and still can't connect. I have to use data when I'm on campus now. This app is trash. Update: Able to get working on phone with difficulty. Randomly stops working. Still utter trash years later

It was only 344km and 1 country away from where I am studying, which judging from some of the other reviews on here was pretty accurate. The manual search option wouldn't work at all for the first 15 minutes of trying to tell it I wasn't in London. Once it did it came up with my uni logo alongside a London college, then my uni with the London college logo. Took a further 20 minutes to get it to actually load properly, all this time on data. If you have another option dont use this app. Awful

Really horrible app to use. Only positive is that once it's done, it's done. Not a friendly user interface and have to manually search several times before I get my home university despite being on campus! It was then listed as 470 miles away 🤦‍♀️ glad I've finally connected but surely there's a simpler and better way.

As far as I can tell, this app was preventing me from connecting to eduroam. When I uninstalled it and just used the config instructions on the uni webpage it worked fine. The app is not very user friendly and the help pages are brief and obscure.

Cannot connect to eduroam either with this app or manually. Android 11 has a new field called "Online certificate status". I set this field to "Do not validate" , but even then am unable to complete a connection of eduroam. I notice that when I try to install manually, I first install the certificate and it appears in a drop down list in the eduroam wifi settings. After one failed attempted to connect, the credentials disappear from the drop down list and I have to reinstall the credentials again.

Absolutely terrible. I had to use this to be able to use the university wifi, but for some reason it refuses to. Now I am unable to use it for tasks or even watching lectures. It is also unclear so trying to mess around with the settings will only end in failure. Overall this app is buggy and will screw you over.

I seem to be stuck in some Catch 22, can't connect to the eduroam to WiFi without this app, and can't download the app without connecting to WiFi. Seems overly complicated for what it is. Laptop connected easily with only my login details, so why the need for a special app for Android?

They couldn't hire a more stupid developer. Bad interface, bad programming. I sat a hour to figure out how to use this app to connect to my eduroam, couldn't manage, at in the the I needed to do it manually. Perhaps they use hostile architecture to reduce the number of people that can access the eduroam wifi so that the network doesn't overload.

Seemed to work first time for me. I think the app may be necessary due to the high security required for a worldwide student WiFi network that's meant to reroute traffic through your uni, a single password isn't really secure.

I was able to connect to eduroam while in high school, but from when I enrolled to university (and my aai account was therefore changed) I'm unable to connect any more, despite reinstalling this app several times and filling the fields with accurate data.

Not working. The list of configuration files takes forever to load. Once it's loaded, I still have to wait for them to be active. When I try to instal the file, it says "error read config file", whatever that means, without providing any sort of help whatsoever.

The interface is poor and fully of bugs, the process of connecting to the Eduroam network is terrible if it goes wrong. Took me about half an hour and several attempts although I have heard it taking DAYS for others just to connect to a WiFi network.

Once you do find your institution, and follow the instructions likely provided by them, it works well. However, I do not see why my profile was erased when I uninstalled the app - need to go back and do it over again, very annoying!

Nope. I can install the profile and all, but can't connect to the WiFi, it just goes back to "Saved, encrypted" and nothing happens. Also: some institutions use a SSID other than "eduroam". Let us pick the SSID in the app please.
