The features when the app is open is good and quite easy to use, however it asks you for a fingerprint id check that fails more often than not. Its not a problem with my device as the phone unlocks with a fingerprint. But it almost always says retry failed, its my device I'm not even sure its necessary for the app to require fingerprint log on. Other than that the app is very good
Much prefer the older version were everything was simple. Doesn't show you the title of the lecture/seminar or what it's number is any more. Duplicates stuff sometimes. More complicated to use. Please switch back to older version
Updated review: The problem remains. The app freezes and doesn't accept your login details over wi-fi connections. Old review: I tried to login through my phone's data (4G) and not with Wi-Fi and it turns out that it works. probably a problem with Wi-Fi connection that causes the app to freeze and not accept your login details.
This app worked perfectly on my android phone but now I can't even log in...keeps saying my password is invalid or locked out. I've deleted it several times and uploaded the new version but I'm still having the same problem. The IT helpline don't seem to know what to do it's pointless
Hangs everytime after the first run. Have to terminate and re-open. The emergency options could be moved to the front for quicker access. Other than that, good.
once the app is up and running it's great. But it can freeze quite often when all of my other apps work just fine. Can be quite annoying when you're trying to access exam information.
I have updated this app, but the problems are still there. I also noticed I have no access to contact IT service when I tried to use this app to let them know some computers were not working in classrooms. ____________________________________ I only use function of timetable, but I can't download timetable. I can't see previous weeks' courses. I can't add things need to do in timetable.It doesn't connect my blackboard,my student portal, outlook mail.
I don't understand why an authentication is required to get log onto the app as well. It isn't always the most reliable when being used. You should ad a way to turn this feature on or off.
slow, closes randomly. You can't switch apps and go back without loading through everything. Randomly logs you out.
Useless app cant access anything I need to with it. It constantly crashes. Was supposed to be able to see my class sign in and it's nowhere on the app.
Don't fix what is not broken. The app was perfect a long time ago, I don't understand why unnecessary updates were needed. For example, what's the point to have a pin-access to this app.
The app is really good, just a little bit slow and doesn't work 100 percent at a time, which why 4 stars are given
Really useful app, a good addition would be an incorporation of your emails somehow. Otherwise very helpful
Doesn't allow me to login on my phone but it works on my mother's... Definitely an application issue!!! Please fix!
Absolutely awesome, everything in one place and totally intuitive.
Everytime I open the apps, it asked for "authorization either face I'd or finger print," and wont let me log in.
Great app but I'd love something that tells me the length of time I stay in the zone, library etc.
The app itself is kinda sluggish and jittery , needs more optimization for the plethora of devices.
User interface of the app is good and easy to use, but app is taking to much time to load.
This mobile application is just perfect. It's easy to use and keeps me abreast with My time table
Makes my phone vibrate. A lot. Once it made it keep vibrating until I turned on. Seriously.
User friendly, extremely useful with updated details... I just loved it
It is a great app but there are a few things that I would add to make it more effective!
Works okay but it keeps asking to access my microphone and i don't know why it would need that
Gives access to a lot of useful information
Useful when it works. When opening the app upon having previously logged in, it prompts you to verify yourself using fingerprint or your pin. However, if you miss the first window it'll prompt you to press "retry". When you do this, it wont read your fingerprint and so you have to close the app down and re open. It also does not give you the option to type a pin in. When you do get onto the app, it fails to load timetables most of the time. Has useful features but needs a lot of work.
