It has a lot of useful links, a lot of broken/outdated links, and a mix of intuitive and unintuitive organization. Some links are redundantly placed under multiple headings, and some ultra-prominent links are huge space wasters for how infrequently they are used. The app sorely needs an update. ### 2/5 — Map UI is broken. *2022-01-02, version 4.8* I used this app all of freshman year, mainly to help me navigate. the aggie map is great, except for one HUGE issue. there’s some kind of UI issue where you can’t scroll up on the map without it closing. i’m sure this is a relatively easy fix, PLEASE fix this. just try using the aggie map and zooming in at all and you’ll see what i mean. helpful, but very frustrating. ### 2/5 — . *2021-12-09, version 4.8* App is terrible! Seems like it hasn’t been updated since it launched. The bus times are just all over the place and when I click bus routes to try and see where my bus is located, it’s keep saying updating & nothing is showing. A&M has billions of dollars for other things, but definitely not for a decent spirit bus transportation app. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work consistently *2019-11-03, version 4.7* The directory search function no longer works after iOS 13. ### 4/5 — Great app, needs an update *2018-02-16, version 4.3.1* This app has everything a current Aggie would need, I have no complaints except that it NEEDS an iPhone X Update. That’s the only reason it’s four stars rather than five. ### 4/5 — Helpful! But needs to be updated *2017-11-15, version 4.3.1* The functionality of the app is very helpful with the bus routes and locations of the busses. It does need to be updated to fit the display of the iPhone X though. ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2017-09-06, version 4.3.1* Crashes too much ### 2/5 — Building hours *2016-09-27, version 4.2* There's no easy way to find the hours of the buildings on campus. Specifically the rec!!! Poor design. Building hours should be included in the info under the maps link. ### 4/5 — Great app BUT course listings are for Fall 2015 *2016-08-31, version 4.2* Will change to 5 stars if they post current info! ### 3/5 — New version is a step back *2016-08-29, version 4.2* The update made it much less convenient to access the bus routes. Maybe I'm in the minority here but that's the main use of this app to me, so it should really be at the front. Also have been having issues with routes not loading. ### 1/5 — Sad Aggie *2016-04-20, version 4.1* It needs a LOT of work ### 1/5 — Non-functional *2015-10-22, version 4.1* The most important function of this app, the bus schedule and map, fails to load. Also, the app interrupts service when running in the background. Don't bother downloading this app. ### 1/5 — Needs A LOT of work *2015-09-01, version 4.1* I like the idea, but this app isn't really that great. It's lacking a lot of important features that would be useful to students. It also logs you out of Howdy portal every time you close the app. I suggest the developers look to other college apps (especially UT's) as references, and make some major changes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-11-28, version 4.9* This app is worthless. This app no longer works on 17.1.1. Take this garbage out of the App Store. Texas A&M is low class. The recent updates are massive failure. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2023-09-14, version 4.9* This app is terrible. It kicks you out most of the time and is non functional when it doesn’t kick you out. It’s been “hard broke” since baseball season LAST YEAR and they still haven’t fixed it. Fix it or change who runs your app 12th Man Foundation. ### 1/5 — Where did the busses go? *2023-09-06, version 4.9* Almost all busses are gone from the route, it’s only 01-08 now, how am I supposed to get to and from campus ### 1/5 — Please update bus route button *2020-02-28, version 4.7* This app is not useful in the slightest. I have been using it for the single purpose of tracking bus stops, which no longer works as of last week. Every other feature is not helpful or simply links to a real website. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work! *2020-01-30, version 4.7* as soon as i opened the app, no matter what i clicked, it wouldn’t guide me to anything. please fix this bug! ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of development *2019-08-29, version 4.7* This app is only useful for bus routes and maybe help desk but it doesn’t list all the events for the student calendar and it doesn’t offer a way to communicate with other students for help. ### 1/5 — Just a webbrowser *2018-10-19, version 4.5* All every button does is redirect you to a website. Which is borderline useless. I mainly use this app to know where the busses are, and it's always unresponsive, slow, laggy and glitchy. It should not be a web browser. TAMU can do better than this ### 1/5 — Bus Routes Don't Load *2017-02-03, version 4.3* The bus routes don't load when you're trying to look up information. ### 1/5 — New Update Ruined the App *2016-06-20, version 4.2* The old app had a few bugs with the maps and other features but instead of fixing the few bugs they totally change the format of the app and take away from the easily accessible howdy webpage. This is a huge inconvenience for me as an active student; very displeased with the all new app. ### 1/5 — The new update is worthless *2016-04-27, version 4.2* Howdy and ecampus now go to safari, and power points don't open in safari. When ecampus was in app, I could study on my phone but now I'm going to fail because I can't study. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clean and streamlined *2024-01-22, version 5.0* The new version of the app looks clean and streamlined, it seems more intuitive too. It is nice to be able to toggle between looking at things from a student, employee, and visitor perspective. Definitely will be helpful for upcoming Aggieland Saturday. Glad it includes link to MaroonBase now, too. ### 5/5 — New look! Best update yet! *2024-01-11, version 5.0* The app has been refreshed and looks great now! It is easy to navigate and is perfect for all students, parents and visitors. There is a wide variety of information in the app and it always has what I am looking for. I really recommend using the app when on and off campus! ### 5/5 — Most reda$$ app in the AppStore *2018-04-13, version 4.4* I’m a former student, Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of ‘17, and I used this app all the time while I was a student. Well put together, and customizable to suit a variety of needs. Someone did their homework on this one. Must have been an Aggie! I will say that some of the releases over the past couple of years broke some extremely important features that I used daily, but overall, this app deserves the full five stars in my opinion. It functioned as advertised, and saved my bacon more than a few times. Also, I particularly enjoy the new parking garage space counter feature. Whoever designed the icon for that feature must be an Illustrator stud. ### 5/5 — Everything you need *2017-06-28, version 4.3.1* It has an incredible campus map, bus routes (on a less nice map), links to ecampus, howdy, and more. ### 5/5 — Great app for Aggies! *2016-06-23, version 4.2* Texas A&M did a really nice job of putting this app together ### 5/5 — Awesome Update! *2016-04-28, version 4.2* Love the new look and the new map is so helpful! Whoop! ### 5/5 — I love it! *2016-04-27, version 4.2* Better than previous. ### 5/5 — Not bad *2014-02-21, version 3.7.1* Not bad ### 5/5 — Great *2013-07-07, version 3.4* Great app ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-07-07, version 3.4* As an Aggie, I find it's very useful and easy to use.
