Indispensable, but sometimes glitchy/slow

This app is absolutely necessary for a BYU student. Occasionally there are annoying glitches/slowness, but for the most part it is good, and the functionality it allows is extremely useful. I use it for ordering food on campus most of the time. A lot of the other functionality either opens a browser or is better used on a browser. But it is getting updated and getting better over time 🙂

See exam scores early

Great for clocking in and out of work. It also lets you see test scores early before they show up in the grade book, by going to the “Upcoming Tests” Widget, then see either most recent score or past scores. It’s super convenient!

Every university should have this!

Wow! Have worked at several universities and this app is exceptional! Easy, convenient. The parking registration tool alone is probably the best I have ever experienced. Kudos! Highly recommend!

Very useful appl

I am one of those people who hate downloading new unnecessary app which will be used just for 1 week. This BYU app is definitely the thing to get. It is the most useful app a BYU student needs. There are so many gems into it as you get to be more comfortable with its use. 100% recommend it!

I literally use this app almost every day

Junior in college here. I work at an on campus job and I LOVE this app. I use it to clock in/out for work, I can easily add money to my cougar cash (which is slightly cheaper than purchasing food at the cougar eat regularly bc through cougar cash it is tax free), and it’s the superior way to search for classes each semester because you can refine your searches to credit hours and times (unlike the web version of MyMap). These are just a tiny selection of the super helpful widgets that this app has. Super happy that the app developers really seem to have students’ priorities in mind, and kudos to everyone who helped design the app. <3

Also PS, your student ID in this app often qualifies as an official ID for a lot of BYU-related things, and I’ve used it in a pinch when I don’t have my physical ID on hand.

Not easy to use

Very difficult to navigate. Can’t find the menu, etc. not easy to access, when loggin on the Home Screen would disappear within a fraction of a second literally. Had to double tap very quickly.
Difficult time finding the Cougareat. When I did I wasn’t able to complete my order and hit the back button and was kicked off the app.
Not impressed in any way

Great overall but crashes

The app is pretty great and has lots of helpful widgets to choose between. The main problem I have with it is it crashes every time I open it (it loads the second time) which gets pretty annoying. But I think they updated the learning suite preview to make it much more helpful, which is great.

Love it

This is a great app. It’s become much more visually pleasing and user friendly. Bowen Byers is doing a great job.

using cougar cash at the cougar eat???

um…
Why can’t I use my cougar cash/dining plan/dining dollars at the cougar eat when I try to mobile order? All year I’ve been able to until I tried today. The only option is paying with a card. Not looking forward to waiting in line to order at the kiosk. I work for dining services so I get dining dollars but the main thing I use them for is now gone so what’s the point 💀

I hate the visual design.

I had the app as a student and after coming back from my mission it’s different. That would be fine if it didn’t all look sloppy in the name of casualness. The guitar pick shaped icons hurt my brain and there are too many animations.
