Connecting with other students is a great support and can be informative and comforting. I just wish it was able to be used on the computer and sync with the iOS and Android apps. ### 5/5 — Downloaded this app bc they made me *2022-06-24* Nice app with all essential features, student feed is basically Twitter 2.0 Everyone is very nice and helpful! I just wish there was a block/mute function to put on people because sometimes there’s people on the app who have views that I don’t agree with ### 5/5 — Convenient and easy to use *2022-06-20* This app is very convenient. I’m transfer student and this app helps me a lot with connecting and learning more about the campus. ### 5/5 — Proud to be a Spartan *2022-01-20* This app is really helpful to a new transfer like me. It has friendly and easy layout. I highly recommend it to anyone who is at SJSU. ### 5/5 — Spartan supports spartan *2022-01-14, version 2021.11.2300* 5* ### 5/5 — User interface is great! *2022-01-11, version 2021.11.2300* Like it! ### 5/5 — Really great app *2021-11-16, version 2021.04.1310* As a new Spartan I really find this app helpful locating classes and communicating with me fellow Spartan’s. ### 5/5 — Sammy is so cool *2021-10-17, version 2021.04.1310* Love this app!❤️ ### 5/5 — top tier *2021-10-17, version 2021.04.1310* only suggestion is that there should be a nightmode setting bc my eyes fr be hurting 😭 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I can’t delete my comment *2026-04-24, version 2026.3.900* I can’t delete my comment on the Sammy App. Like, if I try to press it. There is no option to delete. ### 1/5 — lame update *2025-11-25* It used to be a great app for students to connect with SJSU community to look for roommates, resources, buy/sell & connect with people. Now we can’t even post in our feed anymore and the previous posts and communities have been deleted without any notice. ### 1/5 — Very unusable *2025-11-17, version 2025.8.2700* This is app is unusable after the update. I can’t make any posts on it. ### 1/5 — Horrible Update *2025-11-17, version 2025.8.2700* The update, app makes no sense now ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-06-11, version 2024.01.0800* Better off bringing my own food, had one piece of ham inside . ### 1/5 — Needs update. *2023-01-25, version 2022.03.0700* Needs to be updated so I actually have access to important information ### 1/5 — Partially broken *2023-01-17, version 2022.03.0700* The latest update completely broke part of the app so you can't view your schedule anymore ### 1/5 — My app does not want to work with duo *2022-01-19, version 2021.11.2300* This app would be nicer if it actually let duo log me in ### 1/5 — Good Idea, Poorly Executed *2018-10-07, version 2018.2.050* EDIT: It would appear that the devs have made some improvements however the search system is still broken, posts do not show the year the post was made (which is confusing with the broken search system. Sure this might have been posted in September but it turns out it was posted a year ago in September!!!), and on top of that you cannot even send feedback on the app. When you tap on "Help & Feedback" a pop-up shows up and says "E-mail Can't Be Sent" okay....? And thanks for removing the feature to edit names on the app, sure helps all the trans people who are trying to hide their dead names... Absolutely useless. When you try to edit your name now it prompts you to log into your mySJSU to make any changes. That would be all and well if that actually did anything like it does on Canvas (if you add a name and list it as "preferred" on mySJSU then Canvas will change it accordingly) but surprise, it does nothing at all. At least provide a drop-down list or something from the names we have listed on mySJSU, or to make things easier just let us edit names again. I understand the attempt to prevent people from putting nonsense names but really this change is more detrimental than anything. Surprised to see how many good reviews there are for this app when it is one of the most clunky apps I've ever used. From my understanding, the Android version is a step up from the iPhone version, which burdens a good amount of users (wouldn't you say that around half of the people who would want to use this app would be Apple users?). Only one photo per post. Character limit on comments with no character count when typing the comment. Can't see who likes comments. Search function is useless—when you search ANYTHING, it claims to show the latest posts but shows nothing but weeks to months old posts. Can't turn on notifications for posts you make/posts you commented on/likes/etc. Did I mention that when you go on someone's profile, there are two "add friends" buttons? What's the point? Shame that an app that helps connect other students to each other is rather poorly written. ### 2/5 — Keep update all time *2026-04-23* The app is good overall; however, it requires mandatory updates every 2-3 months to continue using it, which can be frustrating ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — La caractéristique d’acheter et vendre a disparu ! *2024-11-22, version 2024.08.0500* Bonjour, Je voulais me demander qu’est-ce qui se passe avec la caractéristique d’acheter et vendre dans l’application de Sammy. Était là un erreur dans le système ? Ou la caractéristique a été éliminé du système ? Je serais ravi d’entendre votre réponse. Merci Le chat noir ### 5/5 — Easy to Navigate *2024-10-24* For us older students, I wish there was a way to break the ice and make friends. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-09-19, version 2024.08.0500* Fun ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-09-02, version 2024.08.0500* I love this sjsu app ### 5/5 — Great!!!! *2024-04-17, version 2024.01.0800* LOVE IT!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2024-03-29, version 2024.01.0800* Great ### 5/5 — Easy to Navigate *2023-08-09* For us older students, I wish there was a way to break the ice and make friends. ### 5/5 — GO SPARTANS *2023-03-09, version 2022.03.0700* This app can be wilding with what ppl say but Spartan pride you know ### 5/5 — Sammy app review *2022-10-14, version 2022.03.0700* I got a free shirt ### 5/5 — So helpful for the incoming freshmen’a *2022-07-24* I found this app to be very useful especially for finding my way around school campus.
