### 2/5 — Inaccessible and has serious usability flaws

*2024-07-31*

After I enter my first name and last name in the profile screen, the keyboard hides the text box for my email address—the trickiest info to enter since it must be exactly correct. On my phone, entering my email address as part of my contact info means not being able to see what I type.

I typed my email address, clicked Done, spotted a typo in my email address, tapped the email address text box again, had the keyboard pop up and block my view of the text box, after which I  backspaced and typed in the correction. I managed on the second try.

Although it’s understandable that there is a requirement for a selfie photo, this feature strikes me as inaccessible to blind and visually impaired users. Even as a sighted person used to take selfie photos, I was surprised that the final picture wasn’t aligned as expected.

Although I *think* I’ve completed the process—hence two stars instead of one star—the hiccoughs make me wonder if there’s some (hidden) step I may have missed.

Please refactor the design, test on more phones of all sizes, and rerelease.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-05-29*

Downloaded app, tried to login as instructed on MIT website, just dumps me into a screen about a “stale request”. First app I’ve ever downloaded that just completely does not work, and it’s from MIT?!? Are you kidding? Is this a hack by someone at Harvard? How humiliating for the Tute.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2023-02-25*

I am so annoyed at this nonsense. All I need is a quick code that I can use in a web browser. But they decided to force me to get an app, sign up for AppleWallet- do you want my SSN now? Knock it off, MIT!

### 1/5 — Tim Ticket L

*2023-01-22*

This is the most overcomplicated, yet oh so unnecessary app I’ve ever seen. Greycen was incredible tho

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2023-01-13*

Simply doesn’t work. Just spins and spins.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-01-13*

Selected visitor. Put in my mobile phone number.  Pasted pin.  Wheel forever spins…

### 1/5 — Don’t install until you have to

*2023-01-13, version 1.7.6*

If you install this app, you will be unable to register, create a profile, and get tim tickets, because it will redirect you to this app, which will hang forever if you haven’t already done all those things.

MIT should be ashamed.

### 1/5 — Login broken

*2023-01-12*

Endlessly spins loading spinner when opening app

### 1/5 — Non-functional

*2023-01-10*

Have watched the login circle spin for 20 minutes. Have removed and reinstalled the app multiple times. Have tried on wifi and on wireless. App can’t log in and is useless. A good way to keep visitors off campus!

### 5/5 — Better than ever—now supports MIT IDs for alums

*2022-10-26*

The TIM ticket app has always been a useful way to attend MIT events, but now it’s even better, supporting proximity-enabled MIT IDs so alums can access the campus. It works with iPhone and Apple Watch and can use express mode so no tapping or button presses are required. Just use your Infinite Connection credentials to set it up.
