Incredibly mediocre!

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.

Unable to login

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.

Lost Meal and Dining Dollar History

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?

Garbage App

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…

App keeps loading

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.

Nothing works

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

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!

Terrible app

The level of unimportant things on it is mind boggling. The Important stuff is hidden many screens below, and half of the important stuff doesn’t work (like MTD id)

no map search bar

Hi Karbilly - Exciting news! I wanted to let you know about the search feature that enables you to find specific buildings and locations. You can access this feature under Map > Campus Buildings. If you have any questions or feedback regarding it, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

It doesn't even work, AVOID

Can't even login with Net ID.

Language Option in the App missing or hard to find

I really like this app, but unfortunately, the default language on my phone is not English, and the app doesn't seem to have any language settings to switch it to English. The app's automatic translation feature is not very helpful, as it simply translates all the words without any revision or modification. As a result, it's difficult for me to understand the app, even though it's in my own language.

Hi Stanley - We have heard you and others on this point. Version 5.0 has added the ability to override your phone's system language and use English. Go to Settings > My Language. - Joe Grohens

Need better product and UI/UX principles!

Not user friendly and does not easily meets needs of users.. please think through how to optimize it

Literally unusable

The app has been rendered entirely unusable on my iphone 7 as it logged me out due to a recent update, and upon my logging back in presented me with a screen to either opt in or opt out of on campus research participance. Unfortunately, this screen is not properly formatted for the size of my screen, with both the opt-in and opt-out buttons sitting below the bottom of the screen, effectively bricking the app for me since there is no way for me to provide any sort of input that might get rid of that screen, including turning on and off the app since it doesnt let you continue until you opt in or opt out. This is a tremendous oversight from an app so instrumental in conveniently keeping track of meal plan among many other uses

Hello! Thank you so much for leaving us a detailed description of the issue you encountered. This issue has been diagnosed and fixed, and the update is forthcoming. It seems to originate in the system font size. As a temporary solution, you might try setting fonts to a smaller size on your device display settings. Start the app again, and the banner should no longer take up the entire screen. The next update should eliminate the need to adjust your settings. Let us know if this information helps you out!

Getting better!

So far it’s better than it has been over the summer. I like the new features and I can check what’s at Dining. So it’s not that bad, but it’s also been updated.

Chibu!
