But I can’t use it anymore:( *2025-10-16* I really love this app at UCLA because the UCLA dining website is terrible and this is so much easier. Unfortunately, as of yesterday it stopped working for me:( I’ve downloaded and redownloaded, but each time I try to open the app it just opens to the logo and then a white screen and stops there. Maybe it is because I am on ios16, but sadly, that is the highest my phone can go:( ### 2/5 — uci not working *2025-10-02* app was good but now it always says uci dining halls are closed and wont show anything for it ### 1/5 — hate almost as much as my ex *2025-04-05* for the past month this app hasn’t worked which is so sad because it used to be perfect but it’s insufferable now **Developer response:** Sorry about that – it's fixed! ### 1/5 — FIX IT PLEASE *2025-02-11* HASN’T WORKED SINCE FALK QUARTER MY BIG BACK IS DYING **Developer response:** Sorry! We're back up :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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* app was great, but it hasn’t worked for uci for a very long time now ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-10-27* App was so good but only seems to work on new phones. I have a 13 which I still think is not that old and it stopped working. Please bring it back **Developer response:** We're sorry about this, it's fixed now! ### 1/5 — Please fix it *2025-10-23* It is just black screen for days **Developer response:** Sorry we fixed it now! :) ### 1/5 — stopped working *2025-10-23* i love the app but now all i get is a blank screen! is the app down? ### 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 :) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-17* I used to use the app to check my dining hall menus but every time I open it now, the screen is black. I tried reinstalling, clearing app cache, and restarting my phone but nothing works. Also app support isn’t working either. ### 1/5 — good in 2024, useless now *2025-10-16* It worked normally and completely fine, but I guess they started using AI or smth to vibe code bc it’s entirely nonfunctional, riddled with bugs that prevent opening the app, inaccurate nutrition, wrong menus, completely wrong timing. hopefully someone will make a new app like this, but ucla dining website is fine until then. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NOM IS BACK!! *2025-11-10* 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 :) ### 5/5 — 1 must have for new uci students *2025-08-24* Don’t know how I’d live without it lol 😙 carried me through summer sesh **Developer response:** Thanks 🙏 ### 5/5 — love this app *2025-05-30* this app is LIFE CHANGING ! **Developer response:** Thank you 🙏 ### 5/5 — Winter Update *2025-01-20* Love the new winter update! Easy to track everything. Can’t wait to see it added to all the dining halls! **Developer response:** Thank you 🙌 ### 5/5 — Genuinely very useful & easy to use! *2024-11-14* Easier to use than the UCLA website! This gets me through all meals. **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — nom nom nom *2024-04-29* app is perfect for big backs like me who like to know exactly what to expect in terms of food 😛🙈 #1 DINING!! (and it shows) **Developer response:** Happy to hear that 🫶 ### 4/5 — Fire *2026-06-11* Four stars because features randomly disappear but other than that great. **Developer response:** Thanks! Sorry for the unpredictability - we try our best to keep all the best features, while making room for new ones. Let us know if you think we've removed something we shouldn't have! ### 4/5 — miss old design *2025-01-18* i loved this app but the new interface for winter 2025 is not good please just bring back the old one it worked perfectly 🙏🙏 ### 2/5 — Stopped Working *2025-10-22* Nom is so so helpful but after a month the app goes completely black. At UCLA, it’s down. Please fix it!! We love NOM! ### 2/5 — App just stopped working *2025-10-17* The app was genuinely pretty good for the first two months I used it. However it just completely stopped working one day. The widgets still show me updates, but whenever I open the app it’s just a blank screen. I used it to see how full the gym was and what the menus looked like but it’s so disappointing that it just doesn’t work now. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I restarted my phone. It just stopped working. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
