FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING STOP SIGNING ME OUT

Read the title

App keeps signing me out

Logs out repeatedly, meal plan and Flex dollars out of date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 Also, meal plan and flex dollar amounts are months out of date.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.

Viewing my exam schedules

Worst app ever created on this planet.

It would be great…

Makes you login every time you open the app with a full password, two factor authentication and way too many clicks.

Takes a few minutes to login sometimes when I could just login to quest or whatever I actually need in less time.

It has everything I’d want, but I hate to use it because of the time wasted.

If I close and open the app right away, I have to login again.

WHY

STOP making me sign in and confirm my device its only been 35 since i had the app open

Login in to much

It makes me login in so much every time I close the app it resets but good overall

Bro why do I have to sign in for every app open

Bruh what

Why it keep logging me out

Swear I need to sign in every 30 mins

2FA every time

It would be a 4/5 but I have to sign in and use 2FA EVERY SINGLE TIME I launch the app, even though I press “remember this device”. I’m always better off using Quest in a web browser because atleast that remembers my session.

Keeps signing me out

I can only be on the app for less than 2 minutes before it signs me out. Please fix this

Terrible quality

App works maybe 20% of the time, and that’s if it lets you sign in. Calendar/Schedule barely works, and does not provide accurate information. Expected much better from Waterloo.

Update took away to point of the app

I used this app to see my schedule but the update took away the calendar so now I have no way to see my schedule. I don’t know why you would do this. I really need to see what classes I have and you took that away.

Wrong Account

I think there’s something wrong? I log in with my ID and password, and I verify with 2FA but it appears I’m in someone else’s account. The name, student ID and username is all someone else’s.

Can’t launch the app

You can’t even launch the app now where the software eng kids at?

Crashes a lot

Poorly organized and never works anymore

Getting Better

When I first downloaded the app in first year, there was nothing useful for me other than the map! Now, it seems that there’s Meal Plan/Flex Dollars balance, open classrooms, and more academics available to see in the app. Would definitely like to see more improvements.

Miss the old version

I remember downloading the app last year and thinking how great it was that UW had an app where I could have easy access to my classes and exam schedule. Now I sorely miss that! I think it would be a good option to add a reload WatCard function too.

Not the best

This app lost a lot of functionality in the most recent update.
