### 3/5 — 16.0.60 versiones- no parking!

*2026-01-04, version 16.0.60*

Got rid of the ability of switching cars for parking permits!

### 4/5 — Excellent BUT Duo

*2025-09-10*

Fabulous app, easy to use. BUT. They have another app, Duo, for security that you say okay whenever anyone signs into your BYU account anywhere. The BYU app logs out often, and you have to login again and get a duo approval. What is the point in having this app if you have to login all the time? You’d only login to this app on your own phone, likely on the same phone that has the duo app. Stupidest thing ever. However, the app is super nice and has the easiest fastest access to everything you’ll need from ID to class info to locker info to maps.

### 2/5 — Tries to smash lots of different apps into one

*2025-09-03, version 16.0.31*

I have to re-install this once in a while to manage my car. Otherwise never had a use. The ID card should show your card, but the text/info over-runs the “card” background. 

There seems to be several different map apps, always “trouble” showing financial information.

Many things I imagine people might use this for I use the dedicated webpage (e.g. my.byu.edu or map.byu.edu).

### 4/5 — Indispensable, but sometimes glitchy/slow

*2024-10-21*

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 🙂

### 1/5 — App keeps logging me out

*2024-02-22, version 14.5.31*

The app keeps logging me out. This is infuriating frankly. Fix it

### 4/5 — Cougar cash history.

*2024-01-13, version 14.5.24*

Trying to see the history of my cougar cash card. Maybe it is not available?

### 4/5 — BYU app for the win

*2024-01-04, version 14.5.22*

I love BYU, it’s the very best

### 5/5 — Update is Awesome

*2023-10-02, version 14.5.11*

The new layout is simpler, and I like it.

### 1/5 — Cougar cash

*2023-08-12, version 14.4.4*

Provide an option to refund cougar cash

### 4/5 — Some days great

*2023-06-13, version 14.4.4*

It’s still a little off, some days great and others not so great

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — so slow

*2026-01-14, version 16.0.60*

the UI is honestly pretty good.  But the app takes 15-20 seconds on avg to load anything you click on, including the app itself

### 1/5 — ?

*2026-01-06, version 16.0.60*

The letters are too big

### 1/5 — ?

*2025-12-14, version 16.0.56*

The letters are too big

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2025-10-07, version 16.0.47*

This app is genuinely so trash, how can someone develop something that crashes so often. constantly logs me out as well.

### 1/5 — Can’t find anything

*2025-05-08, version 16.0.10*

I have spent the past 30 minutes trying to find the place to change any personal information. Phone number, address, emergency contact, marital status, ecclesiastical status, etc. I can’t find where to check or change anything.

### 1/5 — BYU

*2025-04-30, version 16.0.10*

Cannot even figure out what I need or where to go. Is this the continuing education app? I cannot even tell.

### 1/5 — Academic calendar replacement does not clearly give the academic information I relied on.

*2025-02-17, version 16.0.1*

Nice interactive calendar has replaced the academic calendar.  I want the information from the academic calendar.  If you can put the 
interactive calendar on the academic calendar together both that would be great otherwise just go back to the academic calendar.

### 1/5 — ?

*2025-02-12, version 16.0.1*

The letters are too big

### 1/5 — No

*2024-10-04, version 15.0.8*

No thanks

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-05-29, version 14.5.41*

Wish we weren’t forced to used this half-thought-out “solution.”

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Library account access

*2026-08-13, version 16.0.88*

I love the app but I think that it should have a link to my library account for either the HBLL or the Law Library for example.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-09-03, version 16.0.31*

Always rolling out new updates and helpful widgets

### 5/5 — This app saves my life daily

*2025-02-21*

I easily forget which classes I have or where things are on campus, but this app is super convenient and always has the answers. It can do a lot more than that too, I’m still learning how to use it!

### 5/5 — New update 🤩

*2025-02-13, version 16.0.1*

The new update is amazing!! Someone cooked here

### 5/5 — Go Cougs

*2025-01-07, version 15.2.1*

I love cougars

### 5/5 — See exam scores early

*2024-03-19*

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!

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2024-03-13, version 14.5.33*

Lots of cool features that are very useful and easy to use

### 5/5 — Every university should have this!

*2024-02-16, version 14.5.29*

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!

### 5/5 — Very useful appl

*2023-11-02*

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!

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2023-10-08, version 14.5.11*

This app has saved my life in different ways! It’s easily manageable and is very convenient to use.
