### 4/5 — Fire

*2026-06-11*

Four stars because features  randomly disappear but other than that great.

### 5/5 — NOM IS BACK!!

Nom is the most reliable way to be able to check food menu for dining halls and school restaurants. Lately it was broken and it really put into perspective how helpful it is to use!

**Developer response:** That means a lot - thanks :)

### 1/5 — App still broken

*2025-11-04*

Idk what happened but the place where the menu would be is still blank..

**Developer response:** Sorry about that :( We have resolved the issue now, thanks for being patient with us!

### 1/5 — broken for uci

*2025-10-28*

**Developer response:** We're sorry about this, it's fixed now!

### 1/5 — Please fix it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2025-10-22*

UCLA needs you nom 💔 No one I know can use it

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THE APP

*2025-10-22*

Hello Nom Team, please fix the app. Ever since the new UI update, no one I know has been able to open it. I feel so anxious not being able to know what to eat. And the UCLA dining website is total buns. Please fix it because so many hungry students like me depend on your awesome app. Thank you Nom Team. -Shannon (Hungry Hippo)

### 1/5 — Westwood, we have a problem

*2025-10-22*

It looks like your recent UI changes might have broken the app for all users not on iOS 26. I'm on iOS 18.5 (still pretty new) and the app is just opening to a blank screen.

**Developer response:** So sorry, we fixed it now :)
