### 1/5 — Apprentice card

*2019-05-26, version 2.1.1*

Paid for but can’t sign in to Totum can’t get half the discounts. Waste of money 👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — How tacky!

*2019-05-15, version 2.1.1*

Very static to use. Would have been appropriate in 2014; needs a major update!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2019-04-09, version 2.1.1*

App doesn’t work when trying to set up account just log into uni portal about 5 times over and it doesn’t want to work.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2019-03-26, version 2.1.1*

While it seems like a really good app, the links to offer sites don’t work.

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2019-03-07, version 2.1.1*

If I had known that you get everything with UNiDAYS that you get with this clunky app that is paid for defacto by the mid extra card I wouldn’t have bothered!

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2019-02-24, version 2.1.1*

Trying to click on a link to go to a deal and it doesn’t do anything, this app just takes up space on your phone, yeah it can tell you your card number and what not but it’s not accepted as a digital ID like the UNiDAYS one

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-02-18, version 2.1.1*

All it shows is what discounts there is. The code given at the bottom doesn’t work. Weird and blurry look to it. Doesn’t seem to be optimised for certain phones. Pointless even using it. Or the even the card to be honest you can redeem discounts easier through other platforms other than NUS.

### 1/5 — Completely rubbish

*2019-02-16, version 2.1.1*

Didn’t work at all, complete waste of time. Don’t bother!

### 1/5 — I paid for card, but I have not received it, I cannot open my account, for me is this a con!!!

*2019-02-08, version 2.1.1*

Very bad

### 1/5 — Stupid app won’t let me log in with new account details

*2019-01-19, version 2.1.1*

As above

### 1/5 — Unable to log in

*2018-12-03, version 2.1.1*

Every time I try to log in I get the message. Unable to contact the server, please try later. Have tried uninstalling & reinstalling. Still will not connect. Has been going on for months.

### 1/5 — Set up system is poor

*2018-11-15, version 2.1.1*

Tried many times to set up my account, still struggling.

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2018-10-09, version 2.1.1*

Links do not work and cannot access discounts

### 1/5 — Issue with online discounts code

*2018-09-29, version 2.1.1*

I’ve noticed with quite a few online retailers the discount code doesn’t work which is rather annoying

### 3/5 — Okay

*2018-09-28, version 2.1.1*

The app itself is good and works well but needs a UI overhaul to being it in-line with newer modern apps.

### 1/5 — Round in circles

*2018-09-22, version 2.1.1*

Keeps telling me my card has expired - but when I log in through the uni portal it just says please close this window, then I’m back where I started. Tried loads of times. I already have my physical card - just can’t get the app to recognise it.

### 1/5 — Disordered

*2021-10-07, version 2.1.3*

Wont even let me sign in. Keeps saying error and offers me a link to Totum to buy a card (I already have one I just bought).

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless!

*2020-04-30, version 2.1.3*

I will not be renewing my NUS card purely because of the app! A lot of the discounts are online only and the discount code doesn’t show, you must click ‘copy code’ however this doesn’t generate a code. So if you want a code to use online then forget it! Ridiculous for a card that you have to pay for

### 1/5 — NUS card

*2020-04-18, version 2.1.3*

This app is shocking doesn’t have half the shops that accept it I work in a shop that take this student discount card and it’s not even on the app so just ask in the shops if you can use it.

### 1/5 — Could be brilliant

*2019-10-25, version 2.1.1*

The app simply is broken I try to tap the codes and nothing happens same with the website links

### 1/5 — Totum card

*2019-09-24, version 2.1.1*

I pay and I applied for the ID card Totum, but the app didn’t allowed me to download that attachment and just wasting my money in a card I didn’t order ....Also I went to UNIdays site and I discovered that is free what bad business wasting money...I’am thinking to ask refund because of the card they plan to send instead the one I order...I don’t think the developer knows what he does...

### 1/5 — Difficult to use

*2019-09-18, version 2.1.1*

Completely unable to upload any kind of picture id on app. Extremely frustrating

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2019-09-13, version 2.1.1*

I try to get the deals but it won’t give it to me ?

### 1/5 — Too many faults

*2019-08-20, version 2.1.1*

The links do not work nor do they load. The app does not work either. When you reset password it does not accept your password. The app glitches and is very slow. Nothing loads.

### 1/5 — Never used it, UNiDAYS is free and better

*2019-07-20, version 2.1.1*

The app never works and the offers are crap, not sure what the point to having the card really as most transport operators won’t accept it and most shops and cafes are happy with my University student card. Equally, their support is crap, you can’t call them and the email process took almost 3 months and now I still can’t get the app to link to my card.

### 1/5 — Out dated app

*2019-06-03, version 2.1.1*

Out dated app, crashes on iPhone 8.

### 5/5 — App

*2019-10-20, version 2.1.1*

Great app.

### 5/5 — Goher

*2019-03-27, version 2.1.1*

Very good app and helpful

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2018-12-11, version 2.1.1*

Lovely app, has saved me lots

### 5/5 — Not the easiest app around

*2018-09-26, version 2.1.1*

Maybe I’m being a bit dim but it is difficult to filter locations/ offers

### 5/5 — Fantastic discounts-money back within one transaction

*2018-06-13, version 2.1.1*

I love NUS discount and app. Easy to use and plentiful discounts especially on eating out.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2018-05-16*

I get discounts on food from the Co op which is the best thing and little treats from time to time from pizza express.. all students should get this

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2018-04-24*

As a ‘mature student’ 61 years, I was apprehensive about using anything ‘computerish’ or online. Not what I’m used to. No problems and not feeling like an ‘ IT Dinosaurs’ now.

### 5/5 — iPhone?

*2018-02-01*

Is there any plans for this app to be updated to the iPhone display. I will be getting a NUS after so long away from them

### 5/5 — Categories don’t work

*2017-10-19*

When you click on the categories nothing loads and what is shown on the location map doesn’t match reality!
You have to constantly search for the deal you want or ask the shop/restaurant if they offer the discount. 
Pretty useless app if you can’t find the deals.

### 5/5 — So far I am happy with it

*2017-07-30*

Whenever I want to check if I can use my discount I hit the search button and it does the job... happy with it so far
