App fail

Unable to use the app. It won’t even login.

One of the worst apps out there

Absolutely an ineptly coded app. Frequently crashes or locks users out of the portal. After reinstalling it now won’t accept login and passwords. The idea of the app to keep people safe is an admirable one, but my god the execution of this is awful.

Worst app I’ve ever used

The app would freeze or refresh to the same page repeatedly and never let me open a link. Also, I’d go from a Green Pass one week to a Red Pass the next week then back to a Green Pass. No explanation. None. This is the second year I’ve seemingly been shunned from campus despite paying full price. This is beyond safety protocols. There is no common sense logic to 90% of this. I feel as though I’m doing more for Columbia during this pandemic than they’re doing for me.

An app for the uni to cover their butts

Pretty much existed to rid university of liabilities lol

ZERO creditability app

It’s a quite useless app in the way that it requires only your conscience to verify whether you are sick or not. It’s like a joke
