There’s so many fees and everything literally everything costs on campus. It would be nice if some of the buses would run later. As a commuter you’re not able to enjoy campus as much because the last bus leaves at 5:45. And the CAB events are not always great they run out of materials while you’re standing in line and there’s always little gifts or giveaways across campus that aren’t quite what us students want or need. Sometimes it seems like the campus has a heard time understanding what us students need or enjoy. The Cougar cupboard gives out expired groceries and that’s not okay. We students are in need yes but we’re not trying to get sick off of old food. ### 4/5 — Deez nuts *2022-11-15, version 2022.10.3100* Pretty good ### 4/5 — It’s good *2022-08-22, version 2022.08.0800* Can’t see my courses ### 4/5 — The only problem *2022-05-30, version 2022.05.3000* Literally the only issue I’ve had with the app is a few accessibility issues, but that could very well be my phone as much as it could the app. ### 5/5 — Great Place *2021-08-27, version 2021.05.1700* Great Place ### 4/5 — It’s okay *2021-08-23, version 2021.05.1700* Only helpful thing is the calendar and for that I’ll rate 4 stars. Everything else kinda ugly and annoying ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2021-08-23, version 2021.05.1700* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Very useful *2021-08-11, version 2021.04.1310* The app includes so many aspects that I may need to help keep me updated with everything one might encompass on campus. Amazing! ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-08-03, version 2021.04.1310* Great app, especially with keeping track of tuition and scheduled classes. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2021-07-28, version 2021.04.1310* The app is easy to navigate and I can find all my courses and activities quickly. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-07-23, version 2021.04.1310* Does what it’s intended to do ### 5/5 — SIUE App (iOS/iPhone) *2021-06-27, version 2021.04.1310* Really appreciate how easy the app is to navigate, especially as an iPhone user. Each new update has added functionality and enhanced user-friendliness. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-11-20, version 2020.10.0510* Love it! Quick and easy to manage everything relate to school! ### 5/5 — Great School, Great App *2020-09-04, version 2020.06.1500* Great School, Great App ### 5/5 — it’s ight *2020-08-28, version 2020.06.1500* it’s cool or whatever but more food would be bussn ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-08-28, version 2020.06.1500* Pretty epic ### 5/5 — Solid school app *2020-08-22, version 2020.06.1500* Incoming freshman, and the app has been really intuitive and helpful in obtaining information and reaching resources. ### 5/5 — Neat *2020-08-20, version 2020.06.1500* College is cool ### 5/5 — Best *2020-08-19, version 2020.06.1500* Best service and school ### 5/5 — Lisa Marie D *2020-08-14, version 2020.06.1500* Love app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2019-06-30, version 4.3.45* No longer updates. I tried deleting and readding to see if that would help but now won't let me even log in. I LOVED the part that lets you see who is in your class though! Especially helped with online classes when I didn't know who else would be in the class and who to ask for help if I had to miss the first day! ### 1/5 — Would be good *2019-01-31, version 4.3.35* This app would be decent if it didn't crash all the time. Lag. General glitchyness all the time. Email doesn't always load. The idea of it sounds good but it's always a pain to use ### 1/5 — Removed Course Search??? *2015-06-08, version 2.5.95* The only reason I used the SIUE app was for quick access to the catalog of courses. This helped me plan my semesters in advance without having to log into the school site on my phone, which can take ages it seems. This app is basically useless to me now. It also seems like a lot of the features could be condensed down or even removed entirely. A shortcut to the Blackboard app? Not necessary. The "Important #s" feature could be integrated into the "Directory". There are separate spaces for "News", "Athletics", "Events", and "Social at SIUE"; couldn't some of these similar categories be combined? This app has 14 "features" to explore, but some are very limited and could either be expanded or else combined with others. I'd still like to see integration with Cougarnet to give students access to their accounts through the app, that would really make this app more useful. ### 1/5 — Class schedules *2015-06-07, version 2.5.95* Why did you remove class schedule? What I am going to use this app for? ### 1/5 — WTH?! *2012-08-03, version 1.0* Seriously?! Take that crap down! On what planet is this okay?! If my house gets broken into because someone found out four months of my schedule or my identity is stolen, I know EXACTLY whose fault it is!! Take this crap down before you screw all your students over!! ### 1/5 — Addresses/ phone numbers *2012-04-02, version 1.0* DO NOT like how the directory shows everyones addresses and personal phone numbers!! FIX IT ### 1/5 — Invasion of privacy !!!!!!! *2012-03-30, version 1.0* The fact that ANYBODY on the planet can download this app and get your private phone number and address makes this app a stalkers delight. Is it even legal ??? ### 2/5 — Class schedule won’t sync *2019-04-14, version 4.3.45* I got the app, it’s pretty solid. One thing that is very discouraging is that every time I try to add my class schedule to my calendar, an error occurs and no classes are added. That would have been a great feature to utilize. ### 2/5 — Was super useful now it’s a huge pain *2019-03-07, version 4.3.45* This app is super useful, when it works. I mainly just use it to open up my email but ever since they updated the UI it’s udder crap. The email screen just glitches out and keeps saying that it’s loading and i can’t open any emails please fix this because it’s bugging the crap out of me. ### 2/5 — Not reliable *2018-10-24, version 4.2.49* The app only works half the time, never when I genuinely need it to. My courses never load. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Siue *2024-06-26, version 2024.04.0200* This app is coo it helps me understand were my classes are and it helps me find the events that goes on in the campus area ### 5/5 — Great *2024-01-22, version 2024.01.0800* Love the app ### 5/5 — Peace.Love.Happiness *2024-01-11, version 2024.01.0800* I am honored to be accepted into the SIU Ewardsville University family. I will mark it my mission to add value to the campuses and I will study hard as well. I am over-the-moon excited to begin my next chapter of life earning a MBA. Thanks and God Bless SIUE Jeffrey Lombardi ### 5/5 — About atmosphere *2023-09-15, version 2023.08.2800* Good atmosphere, ### 5/5 — W *2023-07-24, version 2023.06.0500* W app ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-01-09, version 2022.12.1200* Keeps me on task and everything I need. ### 5/5 — It’s fun *2022-08-22, version 2022.08.0800* Like I said it’s fun ### 5/5 — SIUE *2022-07-05, version 2022.05.3000* Very easy to use and helps me get the detect information I need :) ### 5/5 — SIUEJazz *2022-05-09, version 2022.04.1801* Great experience. ### 5/5 — Best university ever *2022-02-18, version 2022.01.2400* Best staff, environment and resources compared to anyother --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
