### 1/5 — Review

*2026-04-05, version 2026.3.27*

1. No self page with your info to identify yourself as an alumni.
2. No basic list of perks available to you as an alumni.
3. People search - searched myself - I apparently do not exist. 
4. Really, this is as good as OSU can do?

### 2/5 — for students only?

*2025-10-12, version 2025.9.23*

the app no longer shows time off balances or other employee things for which i used it. if this app is intended for just students, then i currently have no use for it. when i become a student again, i’ll pick it back up and review it again.

### 4/5 — Brawl > Ohio

### 3/5 — Final grades issue

*2024-12-18, version 2024.12.5*

### 1/5 — Buildings tab inaccurate

*2024-09-04, version 2024.8.26*

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2024-08-28*

As an OSU student I love this app. I feel extremely fortunate to go to a school that is able to give technology that actually helps and advances my attendance. The only thing I had trouble understanding was the bus, but after talking with some other students I was able to figure it out!

### 5/5 — A necessity.

*2024-08-20*

This app has been the singular best tool for my time at OSU. It does everything - class schedules, payment information, IT ticket updates, even a list of gender-neutral restrooms on campus. Fish, whoever you are, you need a pay raise.

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2023-12-25*

As an OSU student I love this app. I feel extremely fortunate to go to a school that is able to give technology that actually helps and advances my attendance. The only thing I had trouble understanding was the bus, but after talking with some other students I was able to figure it out (sorta).

### 1/5 — Buggy, lazy

*2023-09-11, version 2023.8.7*

Ironic that a state university couldn’t recuit a handful of devs to properly build a working phone app. App does not work
