Staff in the office are very kind and friendly ### 5/5 — Gwc student *2021-08-18* As a student I’ve struggled since I’ve never knew I had a voice or my education mattered. I’ve gotten the help I needed through the support of the school . It’s not easy going to school but it’s not impossible either. My two little girls keep me from giving my educational path up. I will always strive for the top grades, for extra credit; that way when I am ready to transfer to a 4 year college I will be more prepared. It’s not easy bugging faculty to the point I feel I’m inconveniencing their schedule. Also, Covid hasn’t made my life easier, but this struggle this challenge has helped me mentally and physically to become a better student ,and a better mom. I have to do good, keep going because one day I won’t have a community college , one day I won’t have the help that I have and that day whenever that time comes I hope I can be the best in order to pursue my two majors. One day I will look back at this pandemic what it has caused me, I’ve had Covid twice. I’ve had to worry about my daughters well being and by putting them first by doing my best that’s the only thing that saved me From myself. Thanks Gwc, you’re still here just waiting for my grades and my mind to be better. ### 5/5 — A Community Building App *2021-06-10* This great app has allow students and faculty to stay connected during the pandemic.I would even argue that this app has made Golden West College a stronger and brought the community closer together! ### 5/5 — Vital to student connections especially during the pandemic *2021-01-12* I loved the GWC had an app! Before the pandemic it was a way fo enhance promotion for student clubs and orgs! During the pandemic it has become a great way to stay connected with fellow students and faculty, staff and administrators. During these current times connection is vital. It gave me the opportunity to continue to be there for students as a student leader and a mental health and social justice activist. I am able to let students know they are not alone. Other students and student leaders are able to share their virtual events and bring some much needed interaction with students. It has definitely been a learning curve for the gwc family. But, having an app to stay connected is so important, and has helped many students! -Annastacia ### 5/5 — Did you see it on the app? *2020-04-25* It doesn’t matter whether you’re a GWC student, staff or faculty member, you should be using this app! Especially now that we’re all practicing “safer at home” work and learning, this app is a primary connection to the GWC community. ### 5/5 — Great apps *2020-04-03* Many helpful shares from school staffs and students ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2017-09-07, version 7.76* Perfect for students that have no access to computers all day long ### 4/5 — So it's a Great app but it's first app *2017-08-28, version 7.76* There are a lot of bugs (messaging show notification but doesn't refresh when inside the messaging feed) no live feed updates. I am a programmer but one was if a photo is not uploaded to profile, it doesn't let you go on. Which makes no sense if you have internet. Second the clubs and organizations are not updated with current info (but that goes for the website as well). Third great app for a school that has been behind on the technology curve. I have gone to this school already 2 years now this is my third and hopefully last time and then degree. Awesome you guys are updating the campus. I have family and they want to go here. I am proud to be a rustler. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-08-25, version 7.76* So glad to see that GWC has a new working app. And it looks great. Let's get connected. ### 5/5 — This app is a MUST HAVE for GWC students and staff! *2017-08-11, version 7.76* I was thrilled to hear that an app was in the works for Golden West College, and this app fulfills every feature students would want to see. No more trying to find a class from a tiny PDF on your phone! The interactive map gives you directions to any place on campus. I love adding my classes and upcoming events to my calendar and getting notified when an event is added. I've always felt like I missed out on events because I'd see a flyer and then forget about it. This will help me to attend more events. I also love the features for finding clubs and I am so glad there's an easy way to find contact info for everything from advisors to student leaders. This app is also sooo helpful for finding hours of operation and phone numbers for the different offices (Financial Aid, Transfer Center, Counseling, etc.). Thanks GWC for this perfect resource for busy students!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2026-06-01* 😔 ### 1/5 — UPDATE RUINED IT *2026-01-30* Tried to log in with my student school account. No matter which kind of email I use, it keeps showing me the “Please enter a valid email” DONT UPDATE IT, NOW IM PERMANENTLY LOCKED OUT OF THE APP ### 1/5 — Garbage. Avoid like the plague. *2025-12-28* Save yourself. Run away. ### 1/5 — I can't log in *2017-08-29, version 7.76* It keeps telling me that my log in isn't right but it works on the website. ### 1/5 — Cannot log in *2017-08-29, version 7.76* I can log in the GWC account any where excepting this app. :(( ### 1/5 — Linking to your Student account *2017-08-26, version 7.76* I don't know about anyone else but I am a new student starting this fall and I can't even log in. I have been trying to log in and it is telling me that my password is wrong. However, when I try to log in with the exact same username and password on the website it works just fine. I have yet to experience the full extent of the app due to this glitch. ### 3/5 — Evolution of New Technology *2024-08-30* At first I was annoyed at the app and the systems that are associated with it, until I realized that technology can only be fundamentally with the help of humans. The lovely human beings that are at the resource center were very patient with me as they too are learning this new software/program as I was told. Has a new student I will continue to report any glitches so that it can be updated ACCORDINGLY so that all of campus can navigate and obtain the information needed for success. LOVE § LIGHT ### 4/5 — A great place the learn and grow *2023-12-09* I love going to this school ### 4/5 — 4>>4.5 star review *2023-08-30* Website could be tweaked a little, but it’s fine for what I use it for I think. The campus makes up for it in full I think. I have yet to know much about the teachers, but they seem very open. ### 4/5 — 4out5 *2017-09-10, version 7.76* It is pretty great but I would like more options to edit and add but great at what it does. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good App *2025-09-13* The app keeps students up to date.
