I have been unable to install this version on my 64 GB iPhone 6 (with 23 GB free)--I persistently get an "unknown error." Have tried installing from iTunes and downloading directly from the App Store without success. "App support" and "Report a Problem" go to an information page that does not accept reports or even mention this app. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2013-09-22, version 5.0.1* Good app but very glitchy. Sometimes crashes or freezes up. ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2013-04-06, version 5.0.1* Some good additions but unlike iPrinceton the new version is so slow to load and sometimes doesn't at all. Also, please add hours for campus facilities like the gym, libraries, etc. ### 2/5 — This update is crap. *2013-04-06, version 5.0.1* The map is worse. The lack of Blackboard is heinous. Bah humbug! ### 2/5 — Map VERY slow *2013-04-05, version 5.0.1* I see the potential for this app over blackboard, but you'll have to make the map feature load in less than a minute before I give it above 2 stars. The screen is white for the longest time- not something useful if you want to use it while walking because you'll be lost for another minute before it kicks in. ### 3/5 — Ok update *2013-03-26, version 5.0* A couple things I miss about the old version: 1. Blackboard!!!! This was so useful! Maybe even also add a link to Score? 2. The visual display of the apps, with square boxes and images instead of a list. 3. Is it possible to incorporate tiger apps? ### 2/5 — what about alumni? *2012-01-08, version 4.1.3* We have the strongest alumni network in the world...yet "iPrinceton" has next to nothing for us. Great start, but would love to see more features for alums. ### 4/5 — good *2012-01-08* 赞母校，不过这app还有可提升空间 ### 4/5 — Good, could be better *2010-09-06, version 0* Not bad. I'd like better course integration. Also, shuttle and dinky timings? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GPS location does not work! *2018-08-02, version 6.7* GPS location does not work! Please fix. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2018-05-27, version 6.7* The app won’t even open on iPad Pro. ??? It is 2018, right? Please update the app. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2018-01-06, version 6.7* Awful. Does not open on my iPad ### 1/5 — Too big -- over 500 Mb *2017-01-14, version 6.4.0* Why? ### 1/5 — Not worthy *2013-05-16, version 5.0.1* The previous App was much faster. If you searched the Map for a Building it worked great. This is a disgrace. Which O would have saved the older App. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2013-05-01, version 5.0.1* The map functionality is greatly reduced and everything you do is laggy. Some web apps are ok but this one is really lacking compared to the old app that was designed for iOS. I wouldn't suggest it unless your desperate. ### 1/5 — new update is horrible, please revert to older version *2013-04-12, version 5.0.1* I downloaded the update, I really regret it. It is so slow even with Wifi that the app is pretty much unusable. I surprised that other people have found the update better. Sure has more features, but the older version was simple and fast. bummer ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-03-27, version 5.0.1* iPhone 5. Can't access anything or pull up the map most days. Older app much more reliable. ### 1/5 — Worse than Useless *2010-11-12, version 0* On the day I downloaded this app I checked the schedule. Immediately I noticed that two major talks were not listed: a talk by a Nobel laureate in the University Lecture Series, and a talk in a popular departmental series that I had planned to attend. Both the talks have been long scheduled, and both were listed in the University online events calendar. An app that purports to list 'all' talks and does not is much worse than no app at all - this should earn negative stars. Dependence on this could be damaging to a student, annoying to the greater community, and infuriating to the alumni that would like to keep up. ### 1/5 — Lazy, buggy and haphazard *2010-09-29, version 0* Lazy and haphazard User Interface implementation. For example, event titles often get truncated and frequently people search results return nothing. The images module is a waste and should be made more interactive. Search in the directory and courses is very buggy and inaccurate. Search for "Eco 100", for example, returns no results! Similar with many professor names search. Hence, unfortunately one cannot rely on this app in a "real" situation. I cannot believe Princeton hired Blackboard to implement its first mobile app. I wish they polled the students to realize how blackboard's solutions are not popular among the student body at all. This app only reaffirms the careless implementation of an important application. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Studensts *2025-03-17, version 7.1* I was a studnete at princtone and I love the ap! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2013-04-28, version 5.0.1* Map works great now!
