Annoying when kicked out

Couldn’t remember how I signed in and then proceeded to accidentally press a button so now when I try to log on it just sends me to the page trying to sign me in through the wrong portal. Super annoying and I can reset it to let me sign in another way

Something went wrong

Persistent “something went wrong” across webpage and app. Tried: different browsers, cleared cache, incognito, none worked.

Good idea failed execution

The app has lot of glitches,
Like logging out accounts every 2 days or app crashing.
Does need alot of refinement, ideology wise too good
Building a community

Useless App

Ambassadors don’t reply and there is no option to report them

Login Doesn’t Work

The app keeps logging me out. I tried logging in and it said wrong username or password. To which I restarted my password and changed it twice and tried logging in again. It simply wouldn’t work. The only way I can access the website now is through the university invitation email because somehow my account details stayed logged in. The app needs some adjustments as soon as possible. I cannot connect with ambassadors and students when I need to.

Can’t log in

The app suddenly turned blank with a lamp and saying that my device was offline. I deleted and reinstalled the app and found that I couldn’t login at all as the app has “encountered an issue with the social login” when pressing the sign in button. Underneath this pop up advises to try closing and reopening the app. Inputting login details doesn’t work either and pops up with “undefined” and resets the password box. I have repeatedly reinstalled the app, restarted my phone, checked my wifi, checked for updates (none at this point) and yet this problem still persists.

When searching for solutions online I found neither helpful nor useful advices from the official site, such as checking for updates or checking as to whether the correct email is being inputted.

Stuck at log in screen

Worked fine at first, went to log in as I get logged out after a while which is normally fine, after logging in with apple i’m stuck on the log in screen. Have repeated process and still get the same result.

Not responsive

Unable to login with google. Once i click on sign in with google , goes to my browser and then again it asks to continue from app. And nothing happens. Im on login page again

confusing

i can sit get this app to work, i love downloaded it and my home screen looks completely different and i cannot access group chats or anything! very annoying

Not useful!

You can’t search for people by name! And if you were invited from certain university you can’t leave the group… very strange app

Garbage

Just let me email students, I don’t need this app in the middle.

disappointment

You can never, ever get answers to the questions you ask. So what's the point of this app if we can't get answers?

Code Not Sending

I downloaded Unibuddy and added my email and password, I then waited to get sent a code for me to put in from my email but I never got sent it. And I’ve tried a dozen times.

And yes I’ve looked in my junk mail.

Easy to use, fun, valuable info

Super easy to use -- overall, a fun experience that made me even more excited about going to my top school in the Fall. I got way better info from the current students in two days than I had in two months of looking at their website.

Opening the App & Constant loading screen

At first when I downloaded the app, It was easy for me to log in & access my messages and all, without having any issues with the screen loading. But recently, whenever I want to go on the app to look at any messages I received, the screen just shows a lamp & I have to wait a really long time for the screen to load. This causes me to uninstall & reinstall this app. This is like the 5th time I had to uninstall & reinstall the app.. Can you try and look into this please because this is a major problem.

profile picture

I can't upload an image to set as my profile picture

Please fix the font colour in the updates channel in dark mode!

Fairly self explanatory but when the app is set to dark mode the font in the updates channel is very difficult to read. Please could this be fixed, thank you!

Major bugs

This is has major bugs like text messages not showing up, profile pictures not loading and even randomly locking you out of your account :/

Picture Pixelated, Lagging frequent

Please fix the quality of uploading the profile pictures as it ruins the experience of the app, and fix the lag of using the app as it prevents any texting.

needs pronouns

add pronouns its 2023 a social media app without pronouns is like an angle without wings
