### 4/5 — Very Convenient

*2020-02-04, version 2.7*

Could the developers add the feature to see BRBs again? It would be super helpful!!! I wonder why they removed this feature?

### 4/5 — Sauces

*2019-03-26, version 2.4.7*

Great app overall, wish they would put the pasta sauces at RPCC and maybe desserts

### 2/5 — Not working

*2018-07-04, version 2.4.0*

The app won’t let me log into my NetID. It says “password incorrect,” even though it’s the exact same password I use to log in on my computer and everywhere else... :(

### 2/5 — Bug in App

*2017-02-26, version 2.0.1*

App is amazing! However, the app does not work with IOS 10.3 I'm have the beta version of iOS and the app keeps crashing about 45 seconds after it opens.

### 5/5 — Eating made easy

*2016-12-02, version 1.0.3*

Eatery does an excellent job at providing users with all the info they need to find the best spot for on campus dining. It's a very clean app and definitely serves its purpose.

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2016-10-30, version 1.0.3*

Eatery helps Cornell students quickly find out where to eat. It even tells you the type of currency accepted. I really like this app!

### 5/5 — Great guy

*2016-10-26, version 1.0.3*

Walker white is a fantastic individual good on him to make an app

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2016-04-11, version 1.0.1*

I use it all the time--very helpful

### 5/5 — Jealous of Current Freshmen

*2016-03-15, version 1.0*

I would've loved to have this app as a freshman at Cornell. The beautiful and minimalist design allows me to quickly compare menus, check if my favorite dining halls are open, or even plan my meals for tomorrow. Can't wait to see the next iteration!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2016-03-14, version 1.0*

Cool app.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-09-06, version 3.2.1*

It doesn’t work half the time

### 1/5 — Slow

*2025-09-06, version 3.2.1*

Im starving. Its not loading.

### 1/5 — App Doesn't Work

*2025-08-27, version 3.2.1*

Me and my friends are trying to use this app and it just will not load on android or IPhone

### 1/5 — Update Ruined the App

*2023-12-08, version 3.0.2*

This app used to work really well, but now it often won’t load and I can’t see anything. It seems like we traded a slightly better UI for an app without actual functionality.

### 1/5 — Incomplete update

*2023-11-16, version 3.0.2*

This app has always been amazingly convenient but after the most recent update, barely works. The most recent update brought unnecessary UI updates, but worst of all, frequently fails to load menus at all or, loads and displays no menus. The app previously worked great and no update was needed, but now an extremely convenient app has broken.

### 1/5 — Worst update

*2023-10-18, version 3.0.0*

Accidentally updated the app since I downloaded a few years ago, and everything got worse. Menus take forever to appear and load, and now you have to click thru a few buttons to see each one individually. Pretty bad interface and the long loading times makes it even worse

### 1/5 — Horrible Update!

*2023-10-14, version 3.0.0*

This new update wasn’t ready at all to be published. Dining Halls and never load on the second tab, and menus never load when you click the different options (breakfast, lunch, etc.). Also Eateries like Mac’s or Terrace are shown to be never open with no menus. 

Please fix soon!!!!

### 1/5 — Not working with netid

*2018-02-02, version 2.3.0*

I was not abke to login with my netid.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2017-09-15, version 2.1.1*

Version 2.1.1 continues to crash on iPhone 6

### 2/5 — Why?

*2019-03-05, version 2.4.7*

I don't know why they got rid of the space that tells u how many meal swipes you have left. Edit: They brought it back!

It doesn't tell you how much you spent when you make a transaction though :/

### 5/5 — Jesse, we have to cook

*2021-07-12, version 2.10*

Jesse, the dining hall opens up at 6, so we need to get these orders for french toast done asap.

### 5/5 — Nice update

*2019-04-22, version 2.5*

The Collegetown eateries are a nice addition. 
A minor issue is that it’s a bit difficult to tell how expensive a place is using the dollar signs.

### 5/5 — Good app, one request

*2019-03-14, version 2.4.7*

Show the hours of each eatery for the whole week. Otherwise, works very well.

### 5/5 — Thomas J. Ali

*2018-09-13, version 2.4.1*

This app is tremendous!! We know our son is eating well by viewing this informational app!! Go Big Red

### 5/5 — A Must-Have Cornell App!

*2018-03-06, version 2.4.0*

I really wish I had this app when I was a freshman but I still occasionally use it to check hours of dining places. Super user-friendly and love the animations! The search feature for eateries and food is amazing, and I like how you can see menus up to a week in advance

### 5/5 — Still crashes when trying to log into brb account

*2017-12-10, version 2.2.0*

Need to be fixed

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-09-03, version 2.1.1*

Must have app for Cornell dining

### 5/5 — Love the update

*2017-01-28, version 2.0.1*

New meal plan feature is lit

### 5/5 — Eatery = 👍🏽👍🏽

*2017-01-27, version 2.0.1*

Eatery is a super incredible app that solves the problem that all Cornell students have on campus. Where to eat, when to eat, how to eat and how to get there. Best way to view BRBs on the go by far. This app shows menus for 7 days, allows easy sharing of the menus, let's you find them on the map and many more. Keep up the great work CUAppDev.

The only thing more satisfying than eatery is the food. Latest update makes this app even better!

### 5/5 — BRB feature is too good

*2017-01-27, version 2.0.0*

This update is so great! It works flawlessly and they added a new brb feature. Easy to check how much brbs I used and where!
