### 1/5 — Take a Screenshot of It

*2020-09-24, version 1.1*

Put the screenshot in full screen.

### 1/5 — lol

*2020-09-02, version 1.1*

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

### 1/5 — Can’t even login

*2020-08-25, version 1.1*

Great idea but the app is not working

### 1/5 — can’t sign in

*2020-08-24, version 1.1*

:/

### 1/5 — Doesn’t make sense

*2020-08-18, version 1.1*

As a student who studied in a Chinese university before, this app reminds me of the old time. Bureaucratic and useless waste of time and public money.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2020-08-08, version 1.0*

This app does nothing, it’s just a dumb app so Columbia can pretend they care. All you have to do is check a box once a day

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2020-08-04, version 1.0*

First, it’s a stupid idea to require everyone to attest they are symptom free. Have you heard of lying? Second, if you’re going to spend my tuition dollars making an app, make sure I can sign in!!! Right now, the app doesn’t let me sign in. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen

*2020-07-27, version 1.0*

In my 27 years' life, I've never seen anything dumber than this app. It is not even available in China's app store. Moreover, it only asks you one question without any offline tests to grant you green pass. Please CU save your money for other places, maybe refund some tuition.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-07-13, version 1.0*

App does not work reliably, some days it is active, some days it’s “dead”, can’t log in, have to waste time in front of building signing in manually - so much for social distancing, Columbia!

### 1/5 — Issues with login

*2020-06-22, version 1.0*

After inputting UNÍ and password (confirmed correct), the app won’t let me press the blue login button. Only the clear button works.

### 1/5 — App fail

*2022-02-02, version 1.7*

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

### 1/5 — One of the worst apps out there

*2021-12-01, version 1.5*

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.

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever used

*2021-09-13, version 1.5*

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.

### 1/5 — An app for the uni to cover their butts

*2021-09-03, version 1.5*

Pretty much existed to rid university of liabilities lol

### 1/5 — ZERO creditability app

*2021-08-29, version 1.5*

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

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2021-08-13, version 1.5*

Please refund our tuition fee

### 1/5 — Poorly designed app

*2021-07-26, version 1.5*

Poor app design.

### 1/5 — Can this even be called an App?

*2021-06-26, version 1.5*

Any three-year old child can write a better program than this

### 1/5 — ReopenCU

*2021-06-04, version 1.4*

This is terrible. The clown who did it should be fired.

### 1/5 — Error

*2020-12-11, version 1.1*

Does not let me sign anything!

### 5/5 — Everyone at CU needs this

*2020-07-05, version 1.0*

Please fix login, but otherwise app is a great idea!

### 4/5 — Issues

*2020-10-08, version 1.1*

To login try trying out the information instead of auto filling. Took me forEVER to figure out but finally logged in.....

### 2/5 — Huh?

*2020-07-11, version 1.0*

The questions asked are not mutually exclusive. Why is it set up this way?
