### 2/5 — Visibility  Poor

*2026-02-14*

I like the app as I can see what’s being offered at our child’s school. Yet, an online portal that has lettering as if it is saving on ink! I can barely read the words! Why use light gray lettering?? As if you don’t want us to see it. This has been ongoing and makes it a good resource with terrible presentation

### 2/5 — so many unnecessary updates

*2025-08-20, version 1.11.35*

STOP WITH THE UNNECESSARY UPDATES!!! i should not have to update the app every single time i try to open it.

### 2/5 — 👎

*2025-08-18*

The app could be buggy but was mostly fine for three years. This semester though none of the locations on campus appear on the app, even though when I check the website on my laptop everything shows up just fine.

### 3/5 — Lack of ingredients

*2025-07-16*

This app is great! Not only does it tell you when a store opens and how far it is, but it also tells you what’s in the food it serves there. The only problem is that the ingredients are not complete. When looking at what is in pancakes the ingredients are “pancakes” which although true isn’t very helpful. And the disclaimer that you should ask the people anyway makes what they are saying seem more like they are taking a guess and backing it up so that they can’t be blamed. I know it’s impossible to get every ingredient right, I would still love for there to be some confidence in the app. I hope that this can be sorted out as it is still an amazing app with this one thing holding it back.

### 2/5 — Where do you find your balance??

### 1/5 — Can’t open the app

*2024-09-19, version 1.11.27*

This new update must’ve messed with the app or something. I can’t even click on it without it immediately shutting down

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Meal periods not showing

*2026-02-16, version 1.11.38*

There’s soo many bugs on this app it does not show the meal periods for our dining hall, it just says “unable to for menu for ____”.

### 1/5 — Poorly run app

*2025-09-25, version 1.11.36*

I think this is a great concept and a useful app, however the app is hard to use, back buttons don’t work, and the app runs slow almost every time I open it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with VPN

*2025-08-26, version 1.11.36*

App doesn’t work with VPN. Instant 1 start review.  I can’t possibly imagine why an app that simply shows menus needs my ip. Bad bad bad.

### 1/5 — Last Update Completely Broke It

*2025-08-21, version 1.11.35*

This app was never all that good, slow, hard to use, just generally frustrating. Whenever there’s an update the app prompts you to update and there’s no way around it. The latest update as of August 20 2025 makes this app completely useless, it just gets stuck on the “loading locations” screen forever

### 1/5 — Bad account page

*2025-08-19*

I create an account and then can’t login because it says invalid. I can’t click forgot password to try and reset it even though I know it’s the same email and password I’m trying. The buttons don’t work the first time you click, and sometimes you don’t know if they work after that because it’s very slow. The “Eat” page is completely blank aside from showing the school name, but the other pages work.

### 1/5 — Buggy mess

*2024-09-25, version 1.11.29*

Half the time I have to force stop the app because no matter what it just freezes. Not to mention the menus are never accurate, though I don’t know if that’s the apps fault per se

### 1/5 — Won’t Stop Crashing

*2024-09-21, version 1.11.29*

I can’t even open the app without it immediately crashing

### 1/5 — was good until the update

*2024-09-20, version 1.11.28*

the update before the new one, i wasn’t able to even access the app without crashing, now i can access the app, but i can’t select my school without it crashing.

### 1/5 — It was good until the update (update)

*2024-09-20, version 1.11.28*

ALRIGHT A NEW UPDATE, LETS SEE. Now I actually CAN open the app but when I choose my university, the app crashes :/

### 1/5 — App no longer works on iOS 18

*2024-09-20, version 1.11.28*

As the title suggests the app no longer opens and it just crashes right when you open it if you have your phone updated to iOS 18

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — App permissions need an overhaul

*2026-06-11*

Of all the permissions this app lists as “necessity”, Health and fitness…There is no reason or applicable logic as to why this permission is necessary. Several others are in necessary, this is the worst offender.

### 5/5 — BUSSIN

*2025-08-17, version 1.11.34*

This is great app very cool yum food yay

### 5/5 — Great for commuters on the dining plan

*2024-10-24*

I live off campus but buy a package each term to help me grab meals on days when I have a long schedule and won’t have time to go home and cook. Being able to see the menus each day helps me decide if I want to go to the dining hall using a meal swipe on my card or instead go to one of the kiosks at the Student Union and use my flexible dining dollars there instead. Have been really happy with the food in both places and the healthy and tasty options. Big fan of the salad bar and all the meat and non meat options as well as gluten free and vegan and vegetarian plus the regular sandwiches, pizza, fried chicken tenders and burgers. Happy camper at Portland State University in Portland, OR

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-04-26, version 1.11.18*

Great app! The menus load quickly

### 5/5 — Use DOC all the time

*2022-04-25, version 1.11.18*

I use this app at my school and it works great!

### 5/5 — 👍

*2022-04-14*

Shows me everything I need to know about what’s to eat for the day.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the app. Please contact us at appsupport@roaringsky.com if you have suggestions for improvements or features, or if we can help in any way!

### 5/5 — Amazing Service

*2020-09-01*

I was having troubles setting up reservations because of a bug, so I decided to contact their app support. They were incredibly helpful, and worked days to fix a bug that was found in the system. They replied fast, and were able to find and fix the problem in a few days. Definitely super helpful!!!

**Developer response:** Hi again! Thanks for the great feedback and we're so happy we were able to find and fix the issue you experienced with the app :).

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2019-03-19, version 1.9.9*

It’s perfect for people who eat solely at campus restaurants and very user friendly

### 5/5 — Fixed

*2018-10-29*

Edited after the app started working again. It’s very useful.

Old review: Used to work. After the latest update, for Lamar University, the app freezes and hangs. When I press the home button twice, from that view it appears to load. When I go back to it after that, the app crashes.

**Developer response:** Hi Ethan - very sorry to hear about experience with the app but we're glad you let us know. We're actively working on an update we hope to release in the next couple days. If you'd like to send us any additional information please contact us any time at appsupport@roaringsky.com.

### 5/5 — Well Done..now to tell my diner

*2017-10-11*

I at first gave four stars bc it was missing just one thing. They actually fixed it quickly, so they get the fifth star back. Now if only I could get Dobie to provide you guys with the info for the oranges, toast and other daily items this would be app heaven.

**Developer response:** Hi! That's definitely an oversight on our part. Version 1.6.1 was just released today which has a few minor improvements, and properly adds calories to the Health (HealthKit) app! Thank you for letting us know and giving us the opportunity to earn that last star! :-)
