### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-01-14, version 3.3.101*

I can’t even open it to access my timetable the app won’t load it just keeps saying downloading new package and won’t go any further than that

### 1/5 — Kind of rubbish

*2024-09-24, version 3.3.101*

I have to admit it is a rubbish

### 2/5 — Not great.

*2024-01-05, version 3.1.59*

Have to log in every time I close the app, multiple times a day. 
Even though I have it downloaded, Panopto stops me from accessing my other coursework tiles as it’s constantly alerting me to enable pop up which I have done already. Even then, no tiles ever load which stops me from accessing and doing my assignment work. I’ve tried contacting IT but still no response. This app is not user friendly at all - 
Please listen to us students and fix this app!!

### 1/5 — MyARA - Course Sync TimeTable to Google Calendar

*2023-02-15, version 3.1.59*

There is lack of full potential, I can’t sync my study timetable to my work schedule, kids schedule that was everything would be in one place instead I have to open 2-3 apps just to find my day schedule. Can’t export either - Course TimeTable with date and time. Please add a sync to third party apps like google and outlook calendar. That as would be all in one place just open the calendar and see tasks for the day.

### 1/5 — Shocking to start

*2022-03-16, version 3.1.21*

Every single time I open the app, it won’t load. Sometimes a message pops up saying the app needs to be restarted, other times it’s just a blank white screen. Restarting the app will allow it to work, but then it takes a long time to load. This has been happening for the past 2, possibly 3 years, and I can’t believe it hasn’t been fixed yet. 

I’s usually okay once it’s running, but it’s still slow to function

### 1/5 — Login

*2022-02-02, version 3.1.21*

It would be log me out every week and so hard to login back

### 1/5 — No longer works.

*2021-06-21, version 3.1.21*

App used to work fine, now all the tiles just say unable to load. Can’t see the calendar or what class I’m supposed to be in.

### 1/5 — Something always wrong

*2020-10-14, version 3.1.21*

It’s hardly ever working properly. My timetable hasn’t been correct all semester the times I can see it and I can’t load my courses on the app

### 2/5 — sick of not being able to see my time table

*2020-09-03, version 3.1.21*

timetable and attendance never shows

### 5/5 — Well done chaps

*2019-01-30, version 1.3.0*

Fantastic app. You get to watch colored circles indefinitely race around a stylish M that someone definitely earned their Wheaties designing. Top notch work.
