Pretty good

Could be a bit better but it does pretty much everything it needs to.

The map is better than it used to be but I still can’t find a toilet using that map which is crazy to me. Building search is solid though combined with live location marker makes it pretty easy to find where you need to go. The home page could be better since it’s a bit barren, maybe could throw in some recent jcu news/roundups like ongoing construction areas or presentations or news from those roundups down the bottom. Also when you tap on a subject in the timetable it should show the full subject name not just the code because when just starting a new subject I forget which code matches which subject.

Overall solid. Can’t believe there’s no markers for toilets on the map though.

Prefer older version

I prefer the older version where everything was accessible via the JCU app (my study plan, email and estudent etc). This newer version that it’s been updated to last week was unnecessary. Why have the app if it means I have to leave the app to open what I’m accessing in a new window on safari??? And I have to login again on safari - why? The app is now useless to me. Anything I need to access opens in a new window. This updated version is actually very frustrating. Please return it to how it was before.

Constantly re-logging in

Hate the latest update. Logging in every. Single. Time. Plus MFA. All. The. Time. Just to check emails. Not my primary email so don’t want to use email app. Old app let me tap and access emails way more easily.

Works ok but could be much better

The apps does what it needs to do and provided all from one place. HOWEVER, It needs a feature to export timetable in calendar file so it can be uploaded into our personal calendars. Because at this stage if I want anything from my timetable to show on calendars it’s manual entry all the way 👎 or develop a widget for the time table so that it is easily viewable without having to load into a relatively slow app.

Make it work

Potentially a great tool. Why not make it work?

Not very phone compatible ironically

You cannot access your subjects in LearnJCU and the ease of access is not very good.

Meh

Functionality of learn jcu in the app is pretty ordinary. The embedded material doesn’t work making it useless for study purposes

Epic!

Great set out, LOVE that I can access OneSearch easily! Will use this app daily. Thanks JCU! :)
P.S. Cheers that I don’t have to have my student ID photo on the app too! xD

Works well

Great app, excellent links. Easy to use systems (LearnJCU/eStudent as a result).
