Worked great (with exception that buses come earlier than they say) but suddenly app stopped giving expected times for most bus routes. Tells scheduled times but not actual times. Seeking better app for madison metro!
Pretty bad. Email opened in it don't allow opening up links outside of the app, so you are always stuck inside Wisc. That can be a real problem.
Poor performance. Doesn't work very well with my Android phone. I hope they don't upgrade it anymore, because then it'll stop working entirely.
The app keeps crashing in my OnePlus 5T Android 9 phone and it would great if the developer fix's the bug and release a new update as I find this app to be super useful.
I can't rotate my screen while using the app, for example to see my whole week's schedule
You can't look at PDF documents on mobile devices. That's my only complaint but everything else works perfectly!
Hope the user interface gets better.
The events calendar DOES NOT WORK ON ANDROID

App is a great idea, unfortunately, in its current state it is quite unreliable. It is ok when it is working. Bus schedule and map often don't work, but if they could get this straightened out it could be one of the app's best features. Also, I'm very disappointed that the app doesn't rotate to landscape format. That would make it much more readable for these old eyes.
I think that the idea of this app is great but that it still needs a few fixes. For example, my biggest complaint is that in schedule mode the app will not show my Friday schedule because it cannot rotate to landscape. As a first year student, this was a huge problem my first few fridays.
The email can be difficult. Sometimes - or maybe frequently - posts won't open so I have to use my laptop.
The app is useful as it has a lot of features that are helpful while being in this university, such as bus routes, MyUW, and more, but the UI feels outdated and not very user-friendly.
Great for local event listing and real-time arrivals for buses in Madison, but it crashes all the time on my android. Seems pretty glitchy, unfortunately. I think an upgrade is overdue.
Works well for a lot of things Good bus finder app too
The app works sometimes and can be useful but often I have to open the app several times before it works. I dislike the new layout of the app especially the new menu. Having to wait for the menu options to finish scrolling down before I can select them is just annoying. The few positives of this app is accurate bus times, and detailed route maps. I just wish it wasn't so buggy and or resistant to work. I always laugh when the app stops working because it literally says Wisconsin has stopped working.
Crashes, logs you out, doesn't open PDFs or word docs or ppts, total junk. Almost useless
Please pay attention to Android too. The bus tracker never loads any more.
The bus app is very useful. The other stuff I find hard to use.
I wish the menu would not bounce when the app starts, I always click the wrong thing.
Functional, yet horribly broken. Every time I open it, it crashes and I have to open it again. Then it works. Useful only for the bus tracker.
Can we really do something about the interface please? I'm pretty sure the CS guys would be excited if you give them a chance to re design it!
Crashes a lot and is very touchy to the back button
Closes unexpectedly when you open the app ! Needs to be fix!
The majority of this app is broken and not optimized well for android, constant crashing and poor accessibility will keep this app from being "essential" or "useful"
It used to show where the buses on their route map were, but it doesn't show anymore, please fix this.
Simple and extremely easy to use. I wish buildings were able to be looked up by Facility ID as well, but that would just be a convenience of life feature useful for university employees.
