Truly the gold standard of dining apps! ### 5/5 — Convenient and lightweight *2021-04-01, version 3.0.2* Yale Menus is my absolute go to for figuring out what the dining hall is serving. The dining hall doesn’t always land with its meals, so this app helps me decide where I’m eating today. Wonderful app, very fast and easy to use! Developer is responsive to feedback, so I trust the app will remain in tip-top shape. ### 5/5 — Neat. *2021-04-01, version 3.0.2* Dare I say that this is one of the best student-made apps out there? Every design feature of this app, from the landing page to the nutrition menus is aesthetically pleasing. Makes navigating the complex dining system at Yale seem like a breeze with its intuitive layout (and provides a much needed respite from the standard menu app that doesn’t work half the time). As someone who’s big on fitness, the nutrition chart makes it very easy to calculate my calorie intake everyday. Overall, a highly impressive job 👍 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-04-01, version 3.0.2* This is a fantastic app and it is a much better alternative to the previous Yale dining apps. Tells you all the information you need to know about the dining halls and what they’re serving in a much cleaner and easy to use UI. ### 5/5 — USEFUL *2021-02-05, version 3.0.2* Most useful place to figure out what's on the menu at Yale. Use it before every meal. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-10-02, version 2.2* Great app thank you ### 5/5 — :) *2018-10-02, version 2.2* amazing ### 5/5 — Super nicely done and well thought out! *2018-10-02, version 2.2* I really love how helpful the allergies feature on this app is. Overall, very well done and super helpful! ### 5/5 — best app on my phone! *2018-10-02, version 2.2* this is app is so useful I use it almost everyday. especially when I’m running late and need a quick meal or when I’m grinding on homework and need a bite to eat. ### 5/5 — How did I miss this?! *2018-10-02, version 2.2* I don’t know how I never saw this before. Someone just showed me and I LOVE IT!! It is way prettier and cleaner than the old app. 👌 ### 5/5 — I am a fan *2017-10-01, version 2.0.1* Mazel tov! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Activates microphone for no reason *2024-02-06, version 4.0.3* Title ### 1/5 — New user interface is awful *2023-11-13, version 4.0.2* It is so much harder with the new interface to switch to different days, different meals, and most importantly to see what is on offer. It keeps pushing mezze and smart meals to the top when entrees, the only thing at yale that actually changes, is hovering near the middle or bottom when it should be the FIRST thing you see. Roll back this update, it has made the app far worse. ### 1/5 — Incorrect Times *2021-11-08, version 3.3.0* The dinner menu says 5-7:30pm for Sunday (for example at Franklin) but it closes at 7pm. Sadly had missed dinner because of this :( ### 1/5 — Crashes always *2021-09-20, version 3.1.0* Keeps crashing please fix ### 1/5 — App crashes every time I open it *2021-09-15, version 3.1.0* I can’t see any menus because the app crashes ### 1/5 — App closes before I can view menus *2021-09-06, version 3.1.0* Upon clicking on any college’s menu, the app abruptly closes and sends me to my homescreen… ### 1/5 — app does not work *2019-01-19, version 2.2* the app does not work. it closes constantly. ### 3/5 — Helpful! Found a bug tho *2023-11-25, version 4.0.3* I love the idea and execution, but when I play music (on iphone) and open the app, my music bugs out and gets really low quality, similar to that when I’m listening to music and get on call with someone. ### 3/5 — Similar to official app, but less info *2017-08-30, version 1.2.1* While there appears to be more effort placed into design, little was gained. The margins between items are larger, requiring more scrolling to view the same number of items. This serves only to frustrate. This app provides less information than the official Yale Dining app. This app does not contain ingredients or nutrition facts. Nor does it contain a map. ### 5/5 — What an excellent app *2023-08-03, version 3.7.0* Rarely have I encountered an app that has satisfied my needs in the way that Yale Menus has. I was down in the dumps. Feeling disillusioned with technology. On the brink of throwing away my phone and giving up on the modern world all together…that is until Yale Menus came along. This app changed the way I interact with food and dining for the rest of my life. I am forever grateful. Everyone needs this app. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Morgan *2023-08-03, version 3.7.0* I love the app. It’s come is so clutch to have the menu at my fingertips, especially when I'm debating weather or not to go to the dining hall. I completely recommend downloading! ### 5/5 — best menu app around! *2023-08-03* well designed, genuinely helpful, and easy to use! scrolling through comments makes me laugh, which adds to the ~dining experience~ ### 5/5 — Good app *2023-08-03, version 3.7.0* I never write reviews but here we are! Has made figuring out what to eat much easier, love the in-app reviews for different foods. Highly recommend people use this app as it is better than the default ### 5/5 — An incredible app *2023-08-03, version 3.7.0* So useful and every yale student should download it before they get to campus ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-08-03, version 3.7.0* Five stars ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-08-02, version 3.7.0* I learn about my dining options in two clicks or less ### 5/5 — Surprising gem *2023-08-02, version 3.7.0* I rarely review apps, but I feel like I have to give a shout-out to this student-made app. It completely blows Yales official app out of the water. I probably use Yale Menus more than any other app during the school year. Thank you for making our yale experience better in this small way. ### 5/5 — An App Every Student Needs *2023-08-02, version 3.7.0* This app makes me feel like I am taking care of myself. UI is so sleek. And the comment section is a comedic gold mine. ### 5/5 — my most used app *2023-07-26, version 3.7.0* I use this app every day and it is the best app I use at school. Well designed and clear. Thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
