Minor bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

cannot use

this app is not usable, when trying to log in with gmail i get this error: You can’t sign in from this screen because this app doesn’t comply with Google’s secure browsers policy

Can’t login

This app is useless. I can never login. I’ve tried reinstalling it a couple of times. It just doesn’t want me to login.

Just use the website.

The app is just the website but worse. It's buggy, you can't access email OR blackboard through it, and it crashes half of the time. It would be really useful if I could easily check basic things like my campus card or profile information, some aspects of myumbc definitely doesn't translate well to mobile, but it's better to have good but limited functionality than a buggy mess that has no reason existing. Just use the website.

Just a website in a mobile wrapper

UMBC ‘23 freshman here. I had high hopes for this app. I’ve seen many great university apps, as well as many awful ones. Unfortunately, this is not one of the good ones.

This app serves no function that the myUMBC website can’t do by itself. The navigation is less intuitive, and the pages often load slower than they do in Safari. I’d really love to see a legitimate mobile app, and I think it could have a lot of potential. It needs a full redesign and rebuild from the ground up using a native app platform, rather than a website in a mobile wrapper. Two stars because it “works” (even though it’s useless).

I have UI/UX design experience and I would love to help out! Feel free to contact me!
