Looks like only the school of business is affiliated with the app so far. It seems like it is still early for this app but I expect many updates. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2010-10-24, version 0* The only complaint I have is that this app didn't come out sooner. I'm going to be using this to register for classes, read the hatchet, and just make my time here simpler. Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2010-10-22, version 0* great app for the entire GW community! VERY neat and easy to use! hatchet news, university alerts, courses, campus map, library ..it's just wonderful!! Thank you GW!! ### 5/5 — Handy *2010-10-08, version 0* I'm glad that GW is taking a lead in making it's services available on mobile devices for it's students, faculty, and staff. ### 5/5 — Excellent timing! *2010-10-07, version 0* Makes students' lives easier! ### 5/5 — Review *2010-10-07, version 0* Great app! Very helpful! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Really bad *2021-12-03, version 2.8* It works about 50% of the time. I constantly have to delete and re-download. I am constantly surprised at how bad this app is. ### 1/5 — Not functioning *2014-05-09, version 2.0.2* Was a decent app until the latest update (May 7). All functionality one. Freezes in app on initial load. ### 1/5 — Crashes on launch *2014-05-01, version 2.0.1* After the update the app just crashed on launch ### 1/5 — Not working *2013-11-25, version 1.5.0* The app instantly shuts down when I open it on my iPhone 5S ### 1/5 — New logo is hideous, please change it back! *2012-12-04, version 1.1.1* The old one was way more classic and refined. This one looks too cartoon-like, just like the new visual image of the university. Why do people keep having this urge to class down something that's better?! ### 2/5 — Buggy as all get out *2021-11-27, version 2.8* When the app works it works well. The problem comes when it requires the user to login after 14 days. It would be great if IT fixed the problems so the user doesn’t have to delete the app, and then download it again, just to get access to their email. ### 2/5 — App got slower *2013-12-23, version 2.0.0* The recent update if this app has made loading much slower and time consuming. Also there is a bug in the course searches that does not display the sections of classes. A suggestion for a change is to add a way to log in to student accounts permanently until log out without having to log in every time I use the app. ### 2/5 — Below Expectations *2010-10-17, version 0* Yeah, just an interactive campus directory. I want to be able to fully access blackboard and course documents. Right now I just get shortcuts, a directory, and a decent map system. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2016-09-16, version 2.2* For the past several days it won't even open. Just keeps crashing. ### 3/5 — Could use some work *2011-01-19, version 1.0.3* While it's great that this application exists, right now it feels kinda cobbled together. Some of the sections (not seen in the pictures) are obviously just copied webpages and don't look iOS native at all. The content is mostly useful, it's just mostly the interface that needs work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It Could Be Better *2015-04-23, version 2.0.2* This app is terribly slow and is not optimized for the newest versions of iOS or the newer iPhones. I think it needs a lot of work at this point. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2015-01-14, version 2.0.2* This is useful app for gw students, I like to work with this app, access to anything you need ### 5/5 — Excellent Application *2014-08-26, version 2.0.2* The detail put into this app is amazing. I am a prospective student. This helped a lot. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2013-07-20, version 1.5.0* Such an improvement! Really, it's awesome. I sort of wish the saved courses area did more (ie, updated us when something changed?), but it's all I need. Really great. ### 5/5 — GWU FAN *2012-04-22, version 1.0.9* I love the shuttle service app! It is very helpful when trying to move from campus to campus. ### 5/5 — GW *2011-09-06, version 1.0.8* Very useful, iPad version would be nice. ### 5/5 — Gets better and better! *2011-07-02, version 1.0.7* They respond to suggestions, fill gaps, and add features. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2011-02-16, version 1.0.3* I am very impressed by the features of this application. I'm sure it must have taken a lot of time and talent to create. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2011-01-26, version 1.0.3* Great information, presented well ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2011-01-04, version 1.0.2* Very useful. It would be great to view courses by campus. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
