### 1/5 — Logs you out constantly

*2025-10-29*

The app logs you out of your account multiple times a day, so you have to login again every time you have to check in for class. Super annoying

### 2/5 — You haven’t check in!

*2025-08-20, version 16.0.23*

I attended class, but I did not sign in successfully. So ridiculous!!!
Also, I could not sign in on the online class that was changed from the offline one.
As a result, I attended  all the classes, but I was considered absent sometimes.

### 3/5 — Useful but bugged

*2025-06-06*

It’s good to have lots of useful tools like the map and bus times etc but my photo never shows up, even when I log in, which means I can’t use the student ID

### 5/5 — Best App Out there

*2024-08-08*

iLancaster has been absolutely indispensable in my daily life as a student. It provides seamless access to everything I need, making my academic experience incredibly smooth and efficient. This exceptional tool is a constant companion throughout my day, ensuring I have all the resources and information at my fingertips. The design is top-notch, boasting both elegance and user-friendliness, while the interactivity enhances my overall experience. iLancaster truly elevates the student experience, making university life more manageable and enjoyable. I can't imagine my student life without it!

### 2/5 — Keeps logging me out

*2024-03-07*

Logs me out about 3 times a day and makes logging back in slow and painful, I constantly waste the first 10 minutes of my lecture just to log into this useless app to check in. It also constantly lags and most features rarely ever work

### 1/5 — Not downloadable on MAC?

*2024-02-27*

Why can’t I download the app on my app. It says it’s compatible but it doesn’t work…

### 1/5 — Fix asap

*2024-01-15*

Always signing me out randomly
Randomly refreshes when using timetable 
Sign in sometimes doesn’t work

Keep the app simple. Stop creating new issues.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-10-03*

The app looks great and is super easy to use

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-10-03*

A really useful app for students with a lot of support and a committed development team that are dedicated to adding new innovations and improvements. Intuitive to use and a must-have for any Lancaster University student. Couldn’t recommend more! 🌹🐞

### 2/5 — Bad ux

*2023-03-10*

Bad UX, check in works, but forcing people to download the app is not cool
