Absolut Unnötig

Es gibt schon zahlreiche Apps für diese Uni und diese ist nun wirklich komplett unnötig. Es nervt einfach nur ständig Apps herunterladen zu müssen um vollkommen normale Services der Uni benutzen zu können.

So semi schlecht gedacht

Während ich es wirklich praktisch finde, dass sich das Biblothekskonto über die App einsehen lässt und man die Ausleihen verlängern kann, hat die App für wenige Funktionen erstaunlich viele Schwachstellen. Man muss sich leider immer erneut einloggen, der Barcode wird jedes Mal erneuert und kam nicht gespeichert werden und falls man doch mal zahlen muss, weil man die Abgabe vergessen hat, passt der Barcode nicht unter den Scanner des Zahlungsgerätes in der UB und kann nicht ausgelesen werden….Alles irgendwie doch ein bisschen zu unpraktisch, als dass man die Notwenigkeit der App wirklich versteht.

Grundloser App-Zwang

Wieso brauche ich eine App, um mir einen Barcode anzeigen zu lassen? Was spricht gegen einen beständigen Barcode, den man sich dauerhaft in seiner digitalen Wallet App speichern kann. So war es doch kurzzeitig mal. Wieso kann die Funktion der App nicht zumindest auch über die Website bereitgestellt werden? Jetzt habe ich eine weitere App, die mir den Homescreen vollmüllt.
