### 5/5 — ACCP

*2026-05-04, version 8.0.8*

Great University good selection of classes

### 5/5 — Illinois App review

*2025-11-05*

The best app of all time!! So helpful and convenient as a student here!! INI

### 5/5 — This App is very Efficient

*2025-11-05*

I really enjoy using this app, it is very efficient!! ILL

### 1/5 — App is permanently crashed

*2025-08-23*

Constantly gets authentication token errors every time I open it.

### 1/5 — Incredibly mediocre!

*2025-08-23*

When it works, it does what it’s supposed to. That’s only when it works though, because half the time it’ll just be stuck loading for seemingly no reason. The UI is also pretty bad.

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2024-10-04*

Like some of the reviews going back 2 years, this fundamental issue is still not resolved. I answered couple of privacy questions based on my preference and now I’m told I cannot login. There is no place in My Profile to go back and make changes to the privacy questions either. This is really frustrating.

**Developer response:** Hi xstarwinkle,
Thanks for the feedback.  I'm sorry you're having trouble logging in.  Please open a support ticket with us and we can assist you.  
To open a ticket, browse to https://go.illinois.edu/appfeedback and let us know what's going on.

thank you,

### 2/5 — Lost Meal and Dining Dollar History

*2024-09-22*

I’ve noticed that as of the last several weeks I am no longer able to see my meal swipe or dining dollar history (usage), even if I change the date range. What happened?

**Developer response:** Hi Namremag,
Thank you for letting us know!  Can you submit a help ticket with us about that at https://go.illinois.edu/appfeedback

We had some issues with meal plan reporting recently but progress has been made.  I believe it has been resolved but we can work with you to make sure.

thanks!

Tom

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2024-08-28*

The only way to sign into the NetID is by selecting “returning user” after freshly downloading the app. 

The sign in button is missing from the dropdown in the profile page otherwise…

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.  If you would like assistance in troubleshooting this issue, please contact us at https://help.uillinois.edu/

thank you!

### 1/5 — App keeps loading

*2024-08-28*

Once in a while, I’m just stuck on the app loading screen and I can’t get into the app. I can reinstall and the same thing happens.

**Developer response:** Thanks for trying the Illinois app!   If you are still having issues logging in, reach out at https://help.uillinois.edu/. 

We will do our best to help you.  

thank you!

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2024-08-22*

I can’t even log in my netID, and the maps are horrible. You can’t even swipe to move around the map.

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving your feedback about the map.  The latest update which came out over the Labor Day weekend, should fix this issue.  If you are still having issues, reach out at https://help.uillinois.edu/.

thank you!
