### 3/5 — Favorite feature buggy

*2025-02-18*

I added items to my favorites to simplify the process of checking what was good at the moment but it bugged after a certain amount and when I try to add or remove favorites I no longer can.

### 2/5 — Works as Expected

*2020-02-11*

Functions like most other services on campus, gets the job done and but is mediocre at best and makes you wonder why you’re paying so much for a meal plan. Tells you the menus but is consistently wrong for one or two items each meal. If you temper your expectations it isn’t too frustrating, nice to know what you’re getting yourself into at a court which is already more than you can say about freshman advising

### 2/5 — Something is wrong

*2020-01-15*

After the update, the app doesn’t show the work times of the Campus Dinning restaurants.

### 2/5 — New Update Causes it to not work

*2019-02-11*

I enjoyed the app but with the new update they released nothing works now. I can’t see anything other than a blank white screen and if I try and sign in it won’t keep me signed in.

### 2/5 — Barely Usable

*2018-09-07, version 2.6.0*

As nice as the concept for this app is, this app has a tendency to freeze and crash quite a lot.

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2018-08-29*

The first time I installed this app, it worked fine. I had to temporarily delete it and upon reinstalling this app, nothing works. None of the menus appear nor the dining hall/restaurant options. In addition, my location is constantly placed in some Chinese location in the middle of the ocean. I want to use this app, but I can’t due to these problems. I already did a systems reset which didn’t help.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2018-08-23, version 2.6.0*

Constantly freezes, rendering it useless.

### 3/5 — Updated aesthetic is nice, but menu is wrong

*2018-01-09*

I like the new logos, but the menu for Windsor is constantly wrong. If you go back a couple days on the menu and then forward to present day, the menu changes and is a correct. However, you can’t click on any food items without the app shutting down. This only seems to be a problem for the Windsor tab though. Not sure about all of the other ones, but Hillenbrand is correct.

### 1/5 — Get with the times, Purdue

*2014-04-12, version 1.0*

It works, but needs to be updated for iOS 7 and the larger iPhone 5 screen already.

### 3/5 — Decent

*2012-03-03, version 1.0*

It looks very nice. All it needs to be perfect is a way to favorite individual food.

### 3/5 — Good start

*2011-08-28, version 1.0*

For a first try it's a good start. Not much different then the Purdue app, but does look much better. 

Ideas for the next version:
- being able to favorite a food and being alerted by push notification when it's available
- being able to see calorie and nutrition content
-being able to see capacity of the dining court and how full it is

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Boring

*2025-11-07*

Sucked all of the life out of the app by removing all the logos and just putting in basic fonts. Boring and bland just like everything else. Minimalism is not an art.

### 1/5 — this book just wasn’t a good read…

*2025-11-07*

the plot started strong, but quickly fell through when they introduced Bryan. Characters sucked and were really irrational….

poor book. Don’t get.

### 1/5 — Gets hours and PHYSICAL LOCATIONS wrong

*2022-08-22*

Title

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-01-21*

It crashes every time I try to open it. It’s been like this since August, no matter how many reinstallations and updates

### 1/5 — Fails to remember sign-in

*2021-01-15*

The app fails to remember that I’ve signed in, and further it has a habit of crashing at random.

### 1/5 — App crashes when i start it

*2020-01-13*

The app crashes within seconds of starting it. I literally just press the icon, and then it crashes. It’s insane

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing — completely unusable

*2019-11-16*

Whenever I try to open the app, it crashes within two seconds. I tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app, but nothing seemed to work. I’m on an iPhone SE with iOS 13.1.3.

### 1/5 — BoilerKey

*2018-11-07*

I can’t log in through boilerkey and none of the menus are popping up. I’ve tried re-downloading.

### 1/5 — App Freezes

*2018-09-05, version 2.6.0*

The app just constantly freezes or gets stuck at the loading screen about 70% of the time.

### 1/5 — It was better before.

*2018-04-05, version 2.5.1*

The new update to the app makes it almost unusable. It freezes at random times and takes forever to load. While it does look nicer then it did before, it still needs to work.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Extremely useful for allergens

*2023-08-17*

I use it to find out what has or doesn’t have peanuts at Purdue, and it’s amazing.

### 5/5 — Everything You Need

*2022-08-16*

Shows you menus for dining courts, how far they are, and even shows what restaurants are nearby. Only takes a minute to fully set up.

### 5/5 — I’m John

*2020-08-16, version 2.7.0*

### 5/5 — Convenient, Fast, and Easy

*2015-09-22, version 2.2*

This app makes it really easy to choose which dining court to eat at every day. 
No unecessary extra clicks to view a menu unlike other purdue apps.

I would suggest that they put a star next to the dining courts that are serving one of your favorite foods. This would make it even faster to choose where to eat that day.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-04-25, version 2.1*

Thanks a lot for the developers who made this perfect app to check the menus everyday! It's so much better and smarter than the menu in the Purdue app.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2011-08-20*

Very well designed and intuitive. Perhaps add a way to track the length of the lines at each of the dining courts. Or business/fullness based on the card swipe system. Fyi, This app is more useful than the entire "makers all" campaign

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2011-08-17*

Very informative with an intuitive interface. Needs to be more clear about vegetarian options.

### 4/5 — Crashes when signing in

*2018-11-02*

Crashes when signing in to view favorites, due to new duo-mobile two-factor identification. Would love a fix soon!

EDIT: Fixed in a timely manner.

**Developer response:** An update has been submitted to fix this. We are awaiting the Apple review process.

### 4/5 — Bring the Vegetarian Icon Back

*2016-08-11*

The new design is much cleaner and easy to use in a rush but it could be better if the leaf icon that would appear next to vegetarian icons was brought back. Now it only appears after you click on the food item.

### 4/5 — Feedback

*2014-09-26, version 2.0*

I LOVE that you can read Chauncey menus now. This makes weekends so much easier to plan. Awesomeness!
