### 2/5 — New Update Lost Many Features

*2026-08-26*

The earlier version had any useful features which is missing in this new version. You could easily access my platforms without opening essentially just mobile versions of the website in new windows.
For instance the ‘Housing’ group where people could post is missing. ‘Messaging’ is also missing.
Developers should please restore some of the old features

### 2/5 — Can’t connect to chat!

*2020-01-11*

Can you fix this bug?

### 3/5 — No interior maps?

*2018-10-26*

I’m not gonna lie, the interior maps was the only reason I used this app. Now they updated it and I can’t seem to find them. The app still has plenty of good features like eClass and OneCard accessibility.

### 3/5 — Needs email & beartracks

*2018-02-11*

Love the look of the app but of the three things I most often use, two are missing. I use email (missing), Beartracks (missing), & e-class (got it!). Would also like to see feature to remember me on sign in to e-class.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2015-04-30, version 3.0.1*

The app keeps crashing, I can't even open it. It's useless.

### 1/5 — Nothing useful

*2015-04-30, version 3.0.1*

This app has everything! Everything but what students actually need. I want my time table, my classes, my eclass available in an app. This is just a waste of money

### 1/5 — R

*2015-01-06, version 3.0.1*

Piece of shake

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2014-12-17, version 3.0.1*

This app is so bad I wish I could give it 0 stars. The only thing that really mattered for this app was seeing my schedule and sharing it with friends and they took that away. It's also really hard to look up classes. The only 'good' thing is eclass but you're better off using safari anyway.

### 1/5 — Can't even launch app

*2014-10-28, version 3.0.1*

Ever since updating to iOS 8 the app does not even launch properly and keeps crashing, and that's when I was just trying to view emergency notifications please fix!

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2014-08-22, version 3.0.1*

Remake this app and fire whoever made it and approved it. This is the most useless app ever and it makes our awesome institution look terrible. We need an app that is useful, not this crap.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-05-21, version 3.0.1*

You used to be able to check your class schedule and that was the ONE thing it was useful for. Now they've removed that feature :(

### 1/5 — Add Schedules

*2014-05-05, version 3.0.1*

I can't believe they removed the student schedules functionality. 
This app is totally useless to me now.

### 1/5 — Horrific

*2014-03-25, version 3.0.1*

I want to restore my previous version. Time table is terrible.

### 1/5 — Just terrible.

*2014-02-12, version 3.0.1*

They really screwed up big time with this update. Not user friendly what so ever. Took away all the useful features and just simply made it worst. Not worth downloading for anything.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2023-08-21*

Installed won’t open says try back later. Next day deleted and reinstalled. Same error message

### 1/5 — Needs ability to customize layout

*2021-11-09*

Crazy to have my screen filled with irrelevant icons to press; spend each time scrolling down to find the only one I use. Can’t even rearrange them to prevent the need to scroll

### 1/5 — Privacy breaches guaranteed

*2021-10-02*

App is so poorly built you can pretty much be sure anything uploaded on here will be public. Don’t need a comp sci degree to crack this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support ID card in Apple wallet

*2020-09-01*

Would like to have support for digital ID card in Apple wallet. I know Apple supports this since iOS 12 and American universities support this feature so why can’t U of A. Hate having to download some sketchy 3rd party app to get access to my ID card.

### 1/5 — It’s point less

*2019-01-09*

It is basically a small browser that open allow you to get on UAlberta stuff, you can do everything this app can do and better with safari.

### 1/5 — Finding Faculties and departments

*2018-12-06*

The search function only allows one to find people. Why is it so restricted? Very frustrating trying to find a particular department or Faculty!

### 1/5 — Transit times?

*2016-05-12, version 4.0.0*

I am disappointed that you removed the transit feature. This was also the only useful feature on your app and the only way I found bus times around the city.

### 1/5 — Connection failure after the update

*2016-05-03*

this is a new update in years and it does not work!

### 1/5 — Could be improved

*2016-04-07, version 3.0.1*

The app isn't really that great coming from a university like U of A.

The app gives you the option to check your class schedule, but you can't since you can't select the given options (so it's pretty useless). 

eClass sometimes works. There were times when I could view PDFs and PowerPoint slides, and there were times when I could not.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2016-02-28, version 3.0.1*

I'm ashamed that I go to a school with such an app

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-07-31*

Especially during online classes it really does help me keep my tabs organized and to a minimum.

### 5/5 — Thanks for allowing it to run on older operating systems.

*2020-07-26*

Please keep it this way. App also runs very quickly 👍

### 5/5 — Great App (for Augustana Students)

*2019-12-17*

I am unsure of the main campus’s app and how much it is used, but I find that it is useful for Augustana students as we have a smaller campus. It is a great way for selling and buying stuff and finding events on campus.

### 5/5 — Wow!!

*2019-12-16*

Complete rehaul since the reviews I read on here! It’s now a great way to communicate with other people on campus, learn about all the resources available, find club events, discover more about your campus, and figure out general university life all in one app! Also, finally a place to sell textbooks that isn’t an invite only group on facebook. This app really filled in the gap left behind when Chitter/Chillabit got shut down, and in a mature and well-moderated way. Now it’s just rebuilding the community which is all on the users, not on the university. Very grateful for the re-vamp.

### 5/5 — Good

*2014-03-19*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — Very useful application.

*2012-12-30, version 2.1.1*

Very useful application.

### 4/5 — Courses

*2013-11-15, version 3.0*

I love this app and use it regularly, but ever since the new update I can't find the courses section. Is there no way to do that anymore? If so that will need to be changed

### 4/5 — Good with small issues

*2010-09-08*

Great idea for the app.

I have a suggestion and noticed a bug:

-the Maps feature would be even better with the Compass feature to make campus "orienteering" easier

-the Timetable feature blocks together a few of my classes for some reason

Keep up the good work and add more features!

### 4/5 — Great start!

*2010-08-09, version 0*

Overall, this app is great. It has a clean, polished interface and is easy to use. Having easy access to all of the student services available on campus is very useful as is the calendar of events. I would like to see the events calendar include the workshops provided by the various help centers such as the Academic Support Centre. One little glitch I've noticed - when there are many events on a particular day, the scroll feature in the events calendar doesn't seem to be working. 
The list of courses is great to have but would be more useful if secured access to Beartracks was also available in this app. The map feature is a fantastic addition and, by itself, makes this app worth the download bandwidth. Great start - keep it coming!

### 3/5 — Like website

*2020-06-10*

I wish it didnt log me out everytime! Very annoying always having to type in my password.
