### 1/5 — Buggy & Useless

*2023-08-15*

Not worth the storage space.

### 1/5 — New update crashes app every time it opens

*2019-11-11*

The most recent update is causing the app to crash. Can’t even get it open.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2019-11-05*

With the new update (3.0), the app simply crashes a second or so after I open it.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-04-04*

Worked great until the last update. Now it crashes anytime I try and bring up the West Campus Shuttle tracker. It’s the only feature I use on this app so this is massively inconvenient.

### 1/5 — webstac

*2018-08-30*

I would like to be able to sign into webstac and not be logged out every time I exit the app

### 4/5 — A little clunky, but useful

*2018-03-26*

This is a pretty helpful app, if not a little bit clunky in places. It's pretty helpful when it comes to getting around on campus, but the integration with other WUSTL services leaves a bit to be desired.

### 1/5 — Course listings are a mess

*2017-11-13*

The course listings section shows courses that are not taught in the semester shown. The whole section is a mess. Also, the courses are sorted by title rather than number, making courses hard to find. The course section on the app is pretty much useless. Very disappointing, there is no reason it has to be this way, it is just a poor design.

### 3/5 — Notification

*2017-09-19*

Not working for iPhone iOS 10.3.3 user. Settings...Notifications... -- can't see your app.

### 3/5 — Food Options are broken

*2017-08-29*

While the circ tracker was broken before, now it's the menu choices that are broken. As someone who is both dieting and has an allergy, being able to check the ingredients and nutritional content of my food options on the fly is key. Currently, many places are simply showing up as "Closed for the summer" or blank, despite the fact that classes have already begun and all locations on campus are serving food. Please fix this and I will update my review!

### 1/5 — Bad, bad, bad

*2017-05-05, version 2.0.1*

The maps function in now totally messed up. Please change it back.
