### 5/5 — Beautifully done!

*2010-02-22, version 0*

Excited to see this app continue to develop :)

### 5/5 — College in your pocket.

*2010-02-22, version 0*

What a great university wide app for both new and existing students. It really does a great job of giving you mobile access to ALL Rice related info you'd ever need -- on OR off campus -- Nice job Rice U!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App needs to be updated severely

*2014-11-25, version 1.5*

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

### 1/5 — Useless map, useless app

*2014-06-15, version 1.5*

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.

### 1/5 — Agree - this app is useless

*2012-11-01, version 1.4.3*

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

### 1/5 — Useless

*2012-04-07, version 1.4.3*

This application is useless for anything other than the bus system. Why have a major part of your app be a directory that has no searchability, no visible entries, and no ability to select something after the first 10 departments listed. This application was designed without any testing and no intended updates or fixes. A student could do a better job for free.

### 1/5 — Useless to undergrads

*2011-12-07, version 1.4.3*

In my opinion the app was not designed for undergrads. There are no servery hours or schedules under campus dining and also the thresher articles are from last year!! (2010) I would only ever use it for the bus tracker.
Please fix this stuff. I know it is possible. I know a student who has built a beautiful app for servery schedules.

### 3/5 — Functional but still a lot of issues

*2015-10-08, version 2.0*

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.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2013-08-11, version 1.5*

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.

### 5/5 — Rice University iPhone app
