## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Embarrassment to the university

*2024-04-02*

Barely functional, pathetically maintained spaghetti code app. iPad version has been completely broken for months. Phone version still frequently gets stuck on “updating..” indefinitely upon login, making the app unusable for days at a time.

Please hire real software developers

### 2/5 — Annoying

*2016-08-30*

You should not have to log in to the app ever single time you access the app. This was a poor and annoying design. 4/10 I would not recommend this app.

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2018-11-08*

The only thing I ever used this app for was to check my schedule for the day, and they changed it so that the “course schedule” button is crowded and less useful. It was better when it showed you the time blocks for your classes for the day.

### 3/5 — Subpar

*2016-08-30*

This app is very useful but I wish there was a way that I wouldn't have to sign in every time I use the app. Other than that good, helpful.

### 3/5 — Out of date

*2013-03-05*

An update would be nice

### 3/5 — Good Start

*2010-07-09*

I think it's great VU has an app and I'm sure it will expand in the future. I would love to see a section on the facility hours (library, gym, printing, etc). Go Nova!

### 3/5 — Awesome college!

*2010-04-10*

'Nova is the greatest college! And they have the best IT department.  Just look at this app! And, the ACS seminar is the best course you'll ever take!

### 5/5 — Best College App  Ev-er

*2010-02-24*

PRO: This app looks great - it is very smooth and seems to find my GPS location very quickly. The beauty is in its usefulness i.e. there are not a whole host of random "cool" effects and uses but it is a central place for things that you would actually use and cannot easily find seperatly using a browser. 

CON: The only thing missing is a Scottie Reynolds count down to the all-time scoring mark - Go 'Nova.
