### 2/5 — Course resources

*2021-07-16*

Since the course resources update I can no longer log into it, get an error message. Not particularly helpful when I have work to be doing

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2020-09-16*

A not so good app that constantly fails to log you in with your finger print. Then has glitches and is in general rubbish

### 1/5 — Change it back

*2018-09-25*

New update is the worst thing to ever happen, ever. You can no longer view your timetable or emails; and course resources has just disappointed. Please change it back this was a really useful app which is now unusable and I don’t know when any of my lectures are

### 1/5 — Mail

*2018-06-13, version 8.0.7*

Unable to view or open emails on app

### 1/5 — Could not use

*2015-09-11, version 7.0.16*

Could not log in. Every time I tried the continue button just greyed out and did nothing even though it was the correct username and password. Shame as this app would have really come in useful.

### 1/5 — Not working since the update

*2025-01-22*

The most recent update has caused issues and now the app does not work? It didn’t work well previously but now doesn’t work at all!

### 1/5 — Slow, difficult, and super unfriendly to use

*2023-03-12*

Such a slow app. Have to log in every time, even with Face ID activated. If you have a weak data/wifi signal it just doesn’t work. Worst app I’ve ever needed to use. Much easier to log into the website version.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-01-19*

Have to sign in EVERY TIME to the app with full student no and strong password even with Touch ID on. Course resources inaccessible on there too which is the main reason why I use UDO. Pointless and effort heavy app.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2021-11-24*

Upon opening this app your are greeted by a black screen which never goes away, basically the app doesn’t work at all and has been that way for over a year!

### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked for over a year

*2021-09-20*

Black screen for over a year

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-08-22*

It’s needed for my study as a new student and it’s just saying error, then when l got in it won’t let you open photo upload that is needed for your id card. They have this authenticity app which is an actual nightmare because it’s so slow in verifying your id that it is asking you to do it again. It’s then signing me out..it’s driving me mad. Sort out please derby uni.

### 1/5 — Recent update

*2021-06-07*

Can’t open app. Blank black screen
Still can’t access app

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-05-11*

As others have said, the app does not work and only displays a blank screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-04-28*

App hasn’t worked since the last update, just displays a blank screen  (even after being redownloaded!)

### 1/5 — Update ruined it

*2021-03-23*

New update just stopped the app working completely. Every time I open it, it’s just a blank screen.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2018-03-04*

Really easy way to view your timetable for uni; includes lecturer, room and timings.

The app includes lots of other cool features such as what events and sports clubs are running.

New update makes the app run smoother and includes colour!

### 5/5 — App review

*2014-08-20*

Fantastic! Great to have it makes things so much easier and accessible! 👌👌

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-02-08*

One of the best app for students @ university of Derby!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2011-09-19, version 1.0*

Brilliant. Recommend this.

### 5/5 — Nice app!

*2011-09-17*

Easy to use, straight forward menu design. Just need to remember your password!

### 4/5 — works fine

*2023-07-01*

always worked fine for me, if you have low data/poor internet connection obviously an internet app won’t work well. improvements to their login system would be very appreciated though in term of logging in, as in not having to log in every time you want to use it basically. however i feel that may be something to do with microsoft’s system as i’ve always experienced that but still wouldn’t hurt.

also says goodnight to me and since there’s no one else who does that it’s always nice.

### 4/5 — I like it but...

*2013-11-05*

Really good, handy app to have but how come I can't renew my library books in the app?

### 4/5 — Good App Some Bugs

*2013-01-25*

Decent for checking rooms, finding library books etc but library account bits and course resources not working!

### 4/5 — Good App!

*2012-12-28*

Easy to use and let's you access UDO from iPhone. It could do with a back button as the home button logs you out of UDO.

### 3/5 — Help

*2012-09-03, version 2.0*

Iv just become a student and it asks for username and ID. Problem is I have neither... How do I go about registering as a student instead of a guest user?
