Keeps signing me out

I can only be on the app for less than 2 minutes before it signs me out. Please fix this

Terrible quality

App works maybe 20% of the time, and that’s if it lets you sign in. Calendar/Schedule barely works, and does not provide accurate information. Expected much better from Waterloo.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and share your feedback. We have done significant work to improve the app and experience for our users, so we’re surprised to hear that it hasn’t been working for you. We’d love to investigate the challenges you experienced, so please reach out to student.portal@uwaterloo.ca so we can better assist you.

Update took away to point of the app

I used this app to see my schedule but the update took away the calendar so now I have no way to see my schedule. I don’t know why you would do this. I really need to see what classes I have and you took that away.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback, Moly Yo 99. We certainly appreciate your comment. Our development team is currently working a new calendar view, which we will be implementing in the near future. In the meantime, you can also try exporting the calendar in LEARN or Portal web and using the calendar on your device or email client such as Outlook. We hope that the new calendar view will better meet your needs. Thank you again for reaching out. Portal continues to grow and evolve based on student feedback. Tip: To export your calendar in Portal web, simply go to the Portal calendar (https://portal.uwaterloo.ca/#/calendar), select the 3 horizontal dots beside ‘My calendars’, select ‘Export calendar’, and select ‘Copy iCal URL’. Paste this URL in your preferred calendar application.

Wrong Account

I think there’s something wrong? I log in with my ID and password, and I verify with 2FA but it appears I’m in someone else’s account. The name, student ID and username is all someone else’s.

Getting Better

When I first downloaded the app in first year, there was nothing useful for me other than the map! Now, it seems that there’s Meal Plan/Flex Dollars balance, open classrooms, and more academics available to see in the app. Would definitely like to see more improvements.

Miss the old version

I remember downloading the app last year and thinking how great it was that UW had an app where I could have easy access to my classes and exam schedule. Now I sorely miss that! I think it would be a good option to add a reload WatCard function too.
