User reviews

Functional but still a lot of issues

Decent functionality for the most part but a shuttle color key should be added. Also the mobile email option (that's not minimal) you can't see the entire email sometimes. This needs to be fixed. Good start to an app but could be improved visually and functionally to improve its user interface.

App needs to be updated severely

If was built too long ago. Needs to be updated for iOS 7 let alone iOS 8. Very old

Useless map, useless app

The map shows the GPS locations of the buses but not the stops/routes. It also doesn’t show any buildings (or any features at all, really) on campus. That’s… um… special.

The app lacks any campus police information (unless it’s hidden somewhere, which defeats the purpose), which seems like a pretty big oversight.

And the calendar feature doesn’t let you add events to your… you know… calendar.

Not to mention that the app hasn’t been updated for iOS 7 or even the Retina display.

Okay

Many sections of this app have not been updated in a while. It would be nice if it could be updated regularly to reflect the current school year. Also, consider adding Owl-Space functionality; that would be very useful.

Agree - this app is useless

Articles and news more than 2 years old? Also class description with room numbers would be a great help - and useful.
