Please sponcer me ### 4/5 — Lifesaver but small update would be great! *2026-07-17* This app has been an absolute lifesaver and has stopped me from getting lost so many times! I honestly don't know what I'd do without it. I do have one suggestion for improvement. Since the University of Adelaide and UniSA have now merged into a single university (Adelaide University), it would be great if the app could be updated to reflect this. For example I have to switch between the University of Adelaide – North Terrace Campus and UniSA – City East Campus, even though they are now both part of the Adelaide University – City East Campus. The app still works, but constantly switching between the two makes it more difficult to find buildings and navigate around campus. Overall still an amazing app!! **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback. Looks we have been a little behind in merging those universities and campuses. We've made some tweaks on our end and they should be sorted now and all the places under City East. I hope this makes it a lot easier to navigate now! ### 5/5 — issues *2026-06-29* great app however there’s a glitch issue. i put the wrong email address and it won’t let me change it when i press ‘wrong email address’ and put the new one it says this email has already been taken. and it won’t let me go back to the start to login. i’ve tried deleting and re-downloading but nothing changes. please fix it! **Developer response:** Hi mayinclouds, sorry to hear this but thank you for letting us know. That's a really annoying bug. We have pushed an update today that will let you log out from the "update email" page and you can start from the beginning. Hope this helps! ### 3/5 — So many lags and freezes *2026-04-16* Otherwise has good details of campus **Developer response:** Hi LittleStarCecily, sorry to hear this. We've been working to improve the performance and have hopefully resolved any of the little lags in the coming release. ### 3/5 — Good app, very convenient, but also very glitchy *2026-03-14* Good app, very convenient, but also very glitchy **Developer response:** Hi aligOooooo, sorry to hear you've run into some glitches. If you could share more information with us at hello@studentvip.com.au we'd love to resolve these. ### 5/5 — What happened? *2026-03-13* It use to be good now I just get a blank screen when I drop a pin. Doesn’t work anymore. **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry to hear this. I'm not sure what you mean by "drop a pin" as that's not a feature of Lost on Campus. If you could share more information about your issue with us at hello@studentvip.com.au we'd love to look into this further. ### 1/5 — doesn’t offer my uni campus (acu strathfield) *2026-02-23* i heard a lot of good things about this app all over social media, but unfortunately when i put in my uni campus, i couldn’t figure out why it was not working and then i realised that this app doesn’t actually have my campus. this is really disappointing as im going into my first year of uni and was really depending on this app to help me figure out where all my lectures and tutorials would be but unfortunately they do not offer acu strathfield so if you go/are going to acu strathfield campus, don’t bother with this app. i’m hoping with this review, they will add my uni as an option because i was really excited to use this app. :( **Developer response:** Hi guesswho 2124, there's no immediate plans for that campus but I've shared your feedback with our mapping team. Hope we can earn a higher rating next time! ### 4/5 — Uhh *2026-02-10* It’d be perfect if you could star certain spots so access is easier, pretty good though **Developer response:** Hi Starbirdanalysis - great idea! We have put together a "favourites" feature and it is rolling out as an update now, so you should have it shortly. ### 3/5 — Love the idea *2026-01-25* Love the idea but wanted to know if or when your adding the new Newcastle uni campus in Gosford **Developer response:** Hi gypsy, there's no immediate plans for that campus but I've shared your feedback with our mapping team. Hope we can earn a higher rating next time! ### 2/5 — Not enough campuses *2026-01-09* I love this app but I think it definitely has room for improvement- like they could definitely include more campuses as they don’t cover most unis!! **Developer response:** Hi Nick - we do cover most of the bigger unis but are always looking to add more. I've shared your feedback with our mapping team. Hope we can add your campus soon! ## Frequently asked questions about Lost on Campus by StudentVIP ### What does Lost on Campus do?
