Recent updates are great

The recent updates have improved the user experience of the app. I hear new AI features will be available soon.

One feature is all I asked for

How does a university that calls itself one of the best cs universities in the universe, have one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. All I want is to see my id and I can’t do that. Every time I open the app my faith in the education system, the American dream and humanity extinguishes. Please just remove the app from the App Store, for the good of the world.

Insanely bad app for a school that boasts about computer science

I can’t believe how bad this app is. None of the features work well

Unintuitive UI and cards don’t stay on consistently

The UI of scrolling through these list of cards can be better.
