In a sense it’s helpful because it makes sure you don’t forget your ID so you don’t have to try the app, not that it would work anyways. ### 1/5 — It sucks *2025-12-21, version 1.9.14* Its so garbage omg ### 1/5 — Will not work *2025-09-28, version 1.9.14* It just stopped working and will not accept my credentials ### 1/5 — No work *2025-09-24, version 1.9.14* It keeps kicking my roommate out of the app. Constantly locks him out and is a HUGE inconvenience towards me. I have to deal with his complaining daily ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2025-09-13, version 1.9.14* Keeps crashing the app is slow and the mobile id feature works when it feels like it ### 1/5 — Abysmal *2025-09-04, version 1.9.14* Can’t even log in. It CALLS my phone and then it just loads for eternity. ### 1/5 — Worst app of all time *2025-09-02, version 1.9.14* Who even programmed this app? It’s filthy garbage, why does nothing work ever? The developers must of only been paid cents for this there is no way. Soon hopefully this app will be deprecated and replaced. Also the logo means nothing. ### 1/5 — straight up doesn’t work. Tried literally every method known to man. 0/10 *2025-09-01, version 1.9.14* garbage ### 1/5 — Typical higher-ed garbage tech *2025-08-18, version 1.9.14* Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Does not function at all *2025-08-07, version 1.9.14* I was trying to register my device with my college and it kept saying unable to reach server and there is nothing wrong on the end of the school ### 1/5 — Do. Not. Get. *2025-06-17, version 1.9.14* I was told to use this app for university but it has caused nothing but grief. It refuses to work and offers nothing to help. ### 1/5 — Are you kidding me??? *2025-05-25, version 1.9.14* Can’t even get past the authentication screen, just keeps kicking me back to search for my school. Do yourself a favor, just pull this off the App Store then sell your idea to a competitor developer. ### 1/5 — Doesn't even work *2025-05-02, version 1.9.14* Might be the worst app ever made, not even functional. ### 1/5 — Absolute nonsense *2025-04-30, version 1.9.14* If UVA wants to climb up that engineering program ranking maybe find someone to fix this stupid thing. ### 1/5 — 1 star is way too high *2025-04-10, version 1.9.14* Genuinely the worst app ever made ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-03-24, version 1.9.14* I’ve tried this app for 4 years now when I forget my Id.

Was met with a seemingly endless loading screen once I got a phone call to log in. Waited some 10 minutes and gave up, deleted the app, and wrote this review. If you forgot ur id and are trying to use this app instead? Don’t waste your time and energy on this stupid app. Thank me later. ### 1/5 — sometimes works, usually doesn't *2025-02-10, version 1.9.14* it doesn't work most of the time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2026-08-22, version 1.9.14* I can’t even select the school and if it does select the school the app crashes immediately.
