FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING STOP SIGNING ME OUT

Read the title

App keeps signing me out
Nnotimetravel

Logs out repeatedly, meal plan and Flex dollars out of date

Have to log in every time I open the app, can’t believe this is used to page ppl for interviews given its unreliability. Also, meal plan and flex dollar amounts are months out of date.

Signing me out

Really annoying. everytime i close and reopen the app i have to go through the entire sign in process again. Also, the “this is my device, prompt 2FA less” button is the most useless option to ever exist. not bad aside from the glaring issue.

Problem with signing in

Everything is fine except for the app signing me out many times a day. I have to go through the sign in process just to be able to check my class schedule and it’s pretty annoying.
