### 3/5 — New student 2016

*2017-02-20, version 4.7*

It's pretty good and useful, but it really needs to be updated. Some of the buildings don't come up at all when you search for them, it makes it very hard to navigate.

Wow you guys are doing so great with this app! I had this early 2012 when it was still in the building and now look how far u have come. I'm studying Bach engineering computer systems but I would love to get on board with this project. 

Keep it up!

### 5/5 — A great help

This app makes finding your way around uni so easy. 

I have an exam in a building I didn't know, and this app helped me find it with ease. 

Any app that gives you one less thing to stress over is an app worth downloading.

I am often asked by students to direct them to a particular building or area and with JVU NAV on my iPad this is easier than ever. Highly recommend to everyone at JCU.
