### 1/5 — Fake app

*2022-09-30, version 10.0.0*

This app doesn’t work. You input your login info and it just takes you to a blank white screen. Also, the developer site is very suspicious as it is not the official UCL website. Be careful who you give your information to.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work at all

*2021-09-09, version 10.0.0*

I’ve log in once luckily and since then when I click on the app, all it show is a blank white screen and nothing else going on, totally rubbish

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2021-09-06, version 10.0.0*

Doesn’t let me log in

### 3/5 — Bug fixes

*2021-01-20, version 9.0.0*

It’s a really nice app but it keeps crashing. I have the most recent update...I’m still having this issue.

### 5/5 — Amazing but no live seating

*2020-01-15, version 6.0.0*

I love it but I need to know where the empty seats are in the student centre because annoying Neanderthals in this university leave their coats on chairs and walk off. If you leave your coat on a desk and leave, I’m going damage your property.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2019-10-25, version 5.0.0*

Great app to plan study time and location. But the live seating seems not working?

### 5/5 — Great for the timetable

*2019-09-29, version 4.2.0*

5 stars!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-09-23, version 4.1*

Best app ever
