I am
Happy to be going to Uwg.  I’m thankfully for the opportunity.  My daughter graduated from the biology program summer 2020.   And I was very happy she her class was able to have a graduation walk.  They earned it.  Covid-19 can’t stop UWG!!

### 5/5 — amazing

*2020-09-03*

extremely helpful app. has a map of campus and will even show you directions on how to get to certain buildings. the app has several super useful features and i highly recommended it to any first years. you’ll definitely need it :)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-26, version 2024.04.0200*

In general, this app is a good idea. But completely useless because it’s do not update any information. You can’t see your grades or anything else.

### 1/5 — BUGS IN NAVIGATION

*2019-02-26, version 6.3.09*

The app freezes when trying to locate a specific busses location. Please fix ASAP!!

### 1/5 — Can't use on iOS 11

*2017-09-26, version 3*

Needs to be updated won't work on iOS 11.

### 1/5 — Just use your internet app

*2017-06-13*

Some of the possible features and functions of the app would be pretty cool. But they never load, and it's easier and faster to go through safari to get what I need (like a campus map, or classes, or courseden). Plus some other possible features are kind of useless even if they would work correctly.

### 1/5 — Could be great, but...

*2016-08-08*

This app is has been stagnant for a while, and has always been clunky. I downloaded it in hope that it would later become useful through further development, but that's just not been the case.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-11-15, version 2.3*

The only good part of this app is you have a map of the campus.. Everything else is useless & needs to be updated!

### 1/5 — Nice try

*2012-12-03, version 2.1*

The intentions with this app are golden. The execution is atrocious. Lacks any useful functionality (ie student e-mail client, ban web, course den, etc...), and what there is simply doesn't work. This app crashes frequently and reliably; just try and search the library catalog. Perhaps the work here should have gone into a mobile-friendly version of the main web site.

### 1/5 — Finally!

*2012-05-03, version 1.0*

Been waiting for UWG to release an app. This is gonna help a lot of students as well as organizations.

**Updated - Randomly stops listing any course.  Minus 4 stars.

### 2/5 — What it Needs

*2012-09-27, version 2.1*

The "Where's the Bus?" part just seems to be a map and there are already maps of the campus on the app, pretty much useless. Don't say you have a new feature in the update that doesn't even do anything. 
Should have links to CourseDen and the myUWG portal since it's used on the campus and for everything student related. 
The good thing is that it has a cute layout. 
If you fix these couple of problems, rating would be better.

### 2/5 — Needs Improvement

*2012-04-03, version 1.0*

Many events aren't listed in the Events section. The app is very slow. Streaming would be a nice feature.

*2024-12-06*

I love this app! As a freshman student it is perfect. Everything is here and you don’t have to search multiple apps or websites to access school stuff

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-08-09, version 2024.04.0200*

Very convenient!

### 5/5 — Go west

I highly recommend. Easy access to all your course

### 5/5 — UWG

*2024-06-06, version 2024.04.0200*

It’s been amazing so far!

### 5/5 — Go west go wolves

*2024-04-20, version 2024.04.0200*

Love the app is a one stop shop for all things UWG related

### 5/5 — GO WEST GO WOLVES

*2023-08-17, version 2023.07.1700*

best app created for us students

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-08-11*

The only thing i would love to have added is the option to have a navigated map. Although i am completely familiar with the locations now, i think it would help newer students a lot more. Other than that, it is a great app.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2022-08-11*

This app is really helpful instead of logging in to your one login it’s all on the app!
