### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2024-10-03*

This app is great and I use it everyday. Hope it stays live!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2024-09-23*

This app is so much better than the menus on Rutgers websites and now I can actually know what the dining halls are going to serve before I get there. Every RU student should get this app.

It’s a little light on feature but that’s to be expected of a brand new app, I’m excited to see how it evolves.
