Always requires logging in and the map is just extremely inconvenient to use

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Absolutely Awful!

*2021-12-08*

You have to enter your GUID and password EACH TIME you open the app and autofill is disabled! What a joke of an app!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-10-20*

Every time it asks you to log in, it’s also so slow!

### 1/5 — .

*2021-02-26*

Won’t login

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2020-11-02*

Downloaded this app to view the available spaces in the library. After I enter my details and click log in, my details flash up on the screen then it glitches and the login screen appears again. Totally impossible to log in. Tried redownloading it and restarting my phone but still getting the same issue. If this app is going to be so glitchy, the library space availability should be accessible on myGlasgow online. So annoying that I can’t access it at all at the moment because the app just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-09-27*

Doesn’t let me sign in, keeps flashing and glitching. This has happened with pretty much everyone I know, this should be fixed by now

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-09-20*

I have been trying for days to get me signed in but the app cannot decide if it’s going to log in, so it glitches again again between the log in page and the main page once you are signed in.

### 1/5 — Logging in issue

*2020-09-09*

Once I log in the page flashes between the log in screen and my timetable

**Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry to hear this. Please could you raise a self service call via the UofG Helpdesk and we can investigate this for you.

### 1/5 — Help!

*2020-09-06*

This app would be really useful but can’t get it to work. I sign in and then the screen glitches between the log in screen and my timetable after i have logged in. Please fix this soon

### 1/5 — Won’t let me go past life loading screen

### 1/5 — Not Functioning

*2020-09-01*

I can’t even sign in so it’s pointless

### 5/5 — Campus in my pocket!

*2023-08-25*

Full disclosure I am a member of staff but I can honestly say the app has really come on leaps and bounds, there is so much information and it’s a MUST have for all students new and returning but also staff too. You get to know your way round the campus which is like a rabbit warren, with the new buildings and loads of food outlets now open. Booking study spaces, accessing your library account and the near me map has everything you need! It’s an amazing little guide for your pocket.

### 5/5 — New update works!

*2021-04-01*

Thanks for fixing the problems

### 4/5 — Better than moodle.

*2020-10-24*

This app is pretty good, it allows you to easily see your timetable, book study rooms and check library capacity. However, the one problem is that the app constantly signs you out after you close it. It sort of defeats the purpose to have a quick look at the library or my timetable if I have to constantly type my GUID in.

### 4/5 — Surprisingly good

*2020-09-29*

A surprisingly decent app considering the utterly embarrassing website that Glasgow Uni students have to endure

### 2/5 — Good idea, flawed in practice

*2020-10-26*

This is just a container for the timetable website accessible from MyGlasgow. There’s no point installing it. In fact, it’s actually better to use the website, because you have to log in to the app every single time you open it.

The most useful function is the library capacity checker, but it’s poorly designed. You have to wait 20 seconds for the animation to finish before it tells you how much space there is. Please speed up the animation or, better yet, remove it altogether.

It’s a good idea to have an app like this, but the implementation is very poor. Hopefully it improves with time.
