### 3/5 — Signing in ugh

*2026-08-02, version 10.8*

It takes a lot to sign in.

### 3/5 — Online JD

*2026-07-15, version 10.7*

The online JD needs to offer securities/business/corporate law also

### 3/5 — No direct canvas access

*2026-04-06, version 10.3*

No longer allows you to access canvas in the app. You click canvas and it opens a web page. There are a lot of improvements and it looks better, but being redirected to a different browser where you have to sign in again is pretty frustrating. Even limited access to canvas is better than this, it’s the only reason I downloaded the app in the first place. I just wanted to check my grades.

### 1/5 — App changed

*2026-03-30, version 10.3*

It used to be a place to easily look up classes, financial aid, important topics but they changed it to a worthless social app. It’s just an app that focuses too much on ASU events and news. Pointless to have this, since they already have another apps focused on social events.

### 1/5 — New Update

*2026-03-17, version 10.3*

The new update is awful and makes me follow a shortcut to the web browser just to view my classes.

### 1/5 — Hate the new app

*2026-03-17, version 10.3*

I greatly dislike the new app. It now serves no purpose. If I have to re-login to the MyASU website, then why am I using the app. I will just go straight to the website. Please change it back.

### 1/5 — Researcher

*2026-03-16, version 10.3*

After the latest update the app is completely useless. Why did you kill the core functionality? For example, there is no way to check M&G or meal plan balance anymore.

### 1/5 — I love my rewards app!

*2026-03-11, version 10.2*

I love the new look!  You guys are always so helpful.  You make me feel heard.  Keep it up!

### 2/5 — Innovation at its finest

*2026-01-24, version 9.0.3*

For many students, the sole purpose of this app is to add your student ID to your phones wallet. This, however, does not yield great results. Someone please let me into the fitness center, I have been stranded outside waiting for my mobile ID request to go through (again).

### 1/5 — Clunky functionality, Passkey issues

*2026-01-09, version 9.0.3*

The app often redirects to webpages that require authentication again for a lot of the essential ASU services. This takes away from the seamless experience of using an app.. why would I use this if it doesn’t provide that seamless experience. 

Furthermore, the passkey function doesn’t work for me.. when I attempt to create one I get redirected to ASU Oauth, after authenticating the app gets stuck on a sign-in page to “use your passkey”

The app developers really need to make this more user friendly and less buggy.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-10-28, version 9.0.3*

It worked fine at first, but then one day it logged me out and everytime I try to log back in, the app crashes. I’ve deleted it and tried again, but all it does is crash.

### 3/5 — Good but could improve

*2025-10-11, version 9.0.3*

The app works well overall, but it feels outdated on iOS 26. The app icon doesn’t support the new Liquid Glass design with Light, Dark, Tinted, and Clear modes, and the app itself still lacks a proper Dark Mode.

Apple’s new system updates how icons and interfaces adapt to user appearance settings. Most apps now look seamless in both Light and Dark Mode, but this one still stands out because the UI stays bright and the icon doesn’t match iOS 26’s style.

Adding a real Dark Mode inside the app and updating the icon to follow the iOS 26 design guidelines would make it look more polished and consistent.

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2025-08-30, version 9.0.3*

It’s ok- really buggy but sends the same notification as well like 10 times in a two hour span.

### 1/5 — 1 in innovation, my butt

*2025-08-14, version 9.0.3*

I’ve never experienced a less intuitive school app in my life. My high school website interface was better than this.

### 1/5 — Stuck loading

*2025-07-16, version 9.0.3*

My app is stuck loading user data after signing in.

### 1/5 — App loads initial page then blank

*2025-07-10, version 9.0.3*

Since update - app opens and then sits with blank screen

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Basically useless

*2026-08-24, version 10.8*

Recent updates took out all functionality of the app including the map, meal and M&G balance, Canvas, etc. Only reason to get the app now is for rewards and the ID.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2026-05-26, version 10.5*

Most of the stuff doesn’t work. The survey is supposed to be 50 points, but it doesn’t work. I try to check into locations but it says I’m not really there, and it’s not correctly counting my pitchforks, so I can’t cash them in

### 1/5 — New update did more damage than it “fixed” things

*2026-05-01, version 10.5*

Can no longer access Sun Devil rewards. Will not let you sign in with credentials.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-30, version 10.5*

No one can log in. Says sign in as guest which isn’t an option no matter which option you select. It’s been over a month since anything has worked. Just deleted and redownloaded after supposed fixes. Still no change. I use to love the app. Now it’s just a box you can’t use.

### 1/5 — recent update is terrible

*2026-04-27, version 10.5*

why did u change it

### 1/5 — Recent update

*2026-04-22, version 10.5*

New update is actually useless. Took a fairly functional app and removed all the features. Fire whoever decided this update was a good idea.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-04-17, version 10.4*

Unable to redeem secret words, says they are all invalid; shows no events or news; pitchforks balance not updating.

### 1/5 — SunDevil Rewards Points reset

*2026-04-10, version 10.3*

My SunDevil Rewards Points reset, which deleted 5,000 points! I worked so hard to gather all of these points and now, they’re not even saved in my lifetime bank. This app sucks and there is no way to contact customer support. Don’t even bother participating in the reward system because it feels like a scam to ensure a certain number of daily users.

### 1/5 — Can’t access the app after update

*2026-04-10, version 10.3*

Completely frustrating can’t access the app after the update requiring to contact IT helpdesk for a passcode, which is ridiculous when I have duo set up and it’s no longer connecting. They need to fix this. This is completely blocking students from accessing the app.

### 1/5 — Required but useless

*2026-03-31, version 10.3*

As a graduate student I’m required to use the ASU app for my student ID card and building access. The app itself shows my card but is otherwise useless. Previous versions had good information like maps and events happening that day. The new version removed that info and all embedded account access. This pushes the necessary content like Canvas or MyASU to an external login. What is the point of the app, then? Bring back the SunCard!

### 5/5 — Sai Sushmitha Batchu

*2026-08-02, version 10.8*

Very good

### 5/5 — My ASU

*2026-04-02, version 10.3*

as good as it gets from my Alma Mater...my hamsters, my fish and my cats love ASU..and Sun Devil Nation...from a forever Sun Devil

### 5/5 — Easy Access to Everything

*2025-11-19, version 9.0.3*

The low ratings for this app had me feeling unsure about installing it, however, I think it’s great and there are a lot of great resources. Exactly like the regular website.

### 5/5 — User friendly easy to navigate

*2025-10-01, version 9.0.3*

This app gives you the ability to successfully navigate your application and simplifies the ability to successfully complete add mission applications as well as being able to quickly check your application status and whether or not you need to fill any requests whether or not you have been accepted as a Sun Devil for the Fall & Spring 2025 semesters.

### 5/5 — Glitchy

*2023-12-27, version 8.4.0*

Has good content but doesn’t always work. Glitches and slows down a lot. Frustrating that the menu options keep resetting on the custom home page.

### 5/5 — 4 bedroom room for rent

*2023-09-16*

4 bedroom.  Pool. Private gym. Pet friendly. My name is realtorrhett on IG.  I don’t work for a company just looking for renters

### 5/5 — It’s come a long way!

*2021-01-03, version 7.6.5*

It’s definitely better than the first time I downloaded the app. Lots of fixes, I can access my DARS, schedule, everything I need to! 

Thanks, ASU.

### 5/5 — ASU Mobile App

*2020-08-17, version 7.5.0*

This app is fantastic and very easy to use.  New daily health check is easy and neat. Very happy with what ASU is doing with there app!

### 5/5 — Powerful app! Love it!

*2018-08-16, version 6.0.0*

The ASU app is easy to use and with the newest version, they have included tons of bells and whistles. 

Students can customize their feeds and really make the app work for them and their needs. 

The schedule feature makes it simple for students to navigate their classes. They can add events to their schedule too!

Communication between fellow classmates is also a new feature added with their latest release. 

I recommend the ASU app for all students.

### 5/5 — Great tool to have!

*2015-09-16*

The Icon immediately identifies it as ASU for those already familiar with this Arizona State University Brand logo. 
Main Focus of the APP is to offer a better mobile experience to keep in touch with the ASU community and gain access to the most common interfaces and interact with them on the on the move.
The target audience is for anyone on the go requiring information on My ASU, directory, campus maps, future students, Sun Devil athletics, Alumni, ASU on the news, library, media, colleges and schools and graduation ceremonies
This application is of great value for its simple navigation, it is free and well designed. I like that their design team maintains this App with frequent updates
It would be great to add a push button for those in need of emergency services within campus, to easily locate the person in need of assistance.
