### 2/5 — Shuttle Tracker Useless

*2022-12-12, version 7.23.0*

Bring back the previous shuttle tracker. This new one DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. REPEAT, NOT FUNCTIONAL. No bus information at all.

### 2/5 — Usually doesn’t work

*2022-10-19, version 7.22.0*

Usually I open the app to find loading errors and no useful data.

### 3/5 — Does the job sometimes, yet unreliably

*2022-10-11, version 7.21.0*

The only reason I'm keeping this app at this point is to scan my code for COVID tests, which might be obsolete at this point too since it isn't required by the school anymore from my knowledge.
Anyway, I'm annoyed that the app doesn't always save my personalized card selection. It tells me that I need a stable internet connection, sometimes multiple times back-to-back as notifications when I open up the "Cards" tab.
So if I forget where a class is, I can't open up this app to locate the "Classes" card (because it doesn't save my input) and I have to repersonalize my Cards selection, but sometimes I can't even do that when I'm on campus and the option to see classes doesn't show up. 
This made me late to a class I had back-to-back with another one. I don't want to have to do the 2-step login onto Webreg every time just to figure out where my class is. I guess I'm better off taking screenshots :/

### 3/5 — plz

*2021-04-08, version 7.6.0*

the restaurant/market hours are never accurate 😭😭

### 2/5 — Push notification?

*2020-06-02, version 7.2*

Is that possible to push notification when the class is started?

### 2/5 — Functions keep disappearing even after reinstalling

*2020-02-26, version 6.9.2*

The ID card function has disappeared one day and would not reappear after signing out and logging back in, nor after reinstalling the app

### 4/5 — Good but not great

*2019-07-16, version 6.7*

The ID card is a wonderful addition for various reasons such as complementing UPASS, but only worked once for me and for a few moments until I refreshed the screen. Now it simply shows the loading throbber and has yet to be successful with home, campus and cellular internet connection. Aside from that, the app is informative for course and DH hours, parking traffic, and weather.

### 3/5 — Suggestion

*2019-05-18, version 6.2*

Scrolling through a long list of alphabetized dining options is inefficient, especially when I want to check the same few dining halls near me. You should add an option to hide certain restaurants from view (or Favorite/Star certain restaurants that will always show first), or an option where restaurants are listed by closest to farthest in distance.

### 4/5 — Ok for a School App

*2019-01-06, version 6.1.2*

Listen there not a pro app making company or something, for a school app it’s pretty good. Obviously lots of bugs like not being formatted for any of the iPhone 10 sizes, etc. But some of the cards like the class schedule and the upcoming parking one are pretty nice.

### 3/5 — Overall Good App, Some Fixes

*2018-09-27, version 6.0*

Overall this is a good app with different improvements that need to be made like accuracy of Dining Hall operation hours. But for me, the thing I feel should first be updated is the Classes card. No matter what day of the week it is it shows Monday on the card. Please change so that the card can actually be useful and quick to use.

Thank you.

### 4/5 — P Good

*2017-03-10, version 4.1.3*

The app is pretty good, works pretty well for the shuttles. It'd be great if the interface didn't seem so obsolete but it works gr8.

### 1/5 — Needs serious updating

*2015-12-11, version 4.1.2*

This app is still designed for an iPhone 4 so it is in need of an update. The map is not helpful at all since it does not tell you where you are. Maybe using Google maps for directions and also having a pdf of a map will be better. I was happy to see an app for my school but I am disappointed to see how glitchy and outdated it is. Please update.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-10-11, version 4.1.2*

So many glitches

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2015-09-11, version 4.1.2*

It would be way better and helpful for students to find their way around campus if it actually showed where you are on campus and if it gave you walking directions to another place/building like google maps app on iPhone.

### 1/5 — This app is crap

*2015-07-09, version 4.1.2*

If I wanted a web app on my phone, I'd used the website. This is inexcusably slow. Used to be really good with native functionalities. Now, barely usable. Also, not optimized for iPhone 6/6 Plus

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — horrible to use

*2026-03-31, version 7.34.0*

every few weeks I need to delete this app and reinstall it in order to get it to work again.  everyday I have to open then close it just get the login to work, until it doesn’t then it is back to delete and reinstall. have no idea why it is this bad.

### 1/5 — One feature is all I asked for

*2025-04-24, version 7.30.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Insanely bad app for a school that boasts about computer science

*2025-04-11*

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

### 1/5 — Unintuitive UI and cards don’t stay on consistently

*2025-01-14, version 7.29.0*

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

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-07-15, version 7.26.0*

This app offers nothing but frustration. I am not sure why I still have it installed. The map is particularly dysfunctional. Searches of known buildings spelled correctly yields no or spurious results.

### 1/5 — Removed Gilman & Hopkins Parking Structures

*2024-03-18, version 7.25.0*

I’m a commuter student and I use the app solely for info on parking. They removed the Hopkins and Gilman parking structures for some reason. Please bring them back.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-04-01, version 6.9.2*

It’s actually pretty bad

### 1/5 — Impressively bad.

*2018-01-10, version 5.5*

Somehow in the update UCSD has created an even worse platform that is harder to use. This renders it almost entirely useless for the bus systems on campus and some other features. You’ve somehow managed to make it more cluttered and unprofessional which I’m sure was the opposite of what you were striving for.
I would class it as an excellent representation of my experience at UCSD at the moment.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even open

*2017-10-11, version 5.4*

The latest update broke the app.  App fails to open at all (iphone 7 OS 11.0.2)

### 1/5 — If I could, I would have given this app 0 stars

*2016-01-06, version 4.1.2*

I never wanted to download this app since I knew it sucked from what people told me. I had to download this app for the shuttle times. Will delete this app as soon as I don't need to take the shuttle anymore.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Recent updates are great

*2025-10-21, version 7.32.0*

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

### 5/5 — :)

*2021-08-15, version 7.11.0*

I like it

### 5/5 — Recent update breaks cards

*2020-05-12, version 7.0*

No other cards than the covid-19 QR scanner and health cards defeats the purpose of having this app , bring back class/bus schedule cards etc... that are actually relevant to learning.

### 5/5 — Bus tracking

*2017-07-29, version 5.2.4*

The bus tracking is very useful.

### 5/5 — 🌲

*2016-07-16, version 4.1.3*

*2014-04-11, version 4.1.1*

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2011-07-09, version 3.1*

This is simply the best. It keeps me connected to UCSD. I Love It!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-04-28, version 3.0*

### 5/5 — UCSD Prideeeeee

*2010-11-12, version 0*

### 5/5 — Awesome moving shuttle map.

*2010-06-16, version 0*

Whenever I'm at a shuttle stop this is super helpful. I know exactly where the shuttle is so I can plan accordingly
