I wanted it to be a challenge and that’s what I got. I am enjoying the experience of online learning. ### 5/5 — Eamccullough *2021-01-14, version 2020.10.0530* Great ### 5/5 — Great use *2020-09-21, version 2020.06.1500* Easy to use and convienent! ### 4/5 — For what it is, it’s handy. *2020-08-25, version 2020.06.1500* Its been helpful a lot I feel the UI could be more handy and there feels like there’s more content on there than I will ever need but it gets me to my classes and shows me my assignments so that’s pretty groovy. ### 5/5 — App *2020-08-24, version 2020.06.1500* Great app helps you find the information you need. Tells you your exact schedule. ### 5/5 — So far *2020-08-17, version 2020.06.1500* it’s been pretty good to me, no problems ### 5/5 — Organized! *2020-08-17, version 2020.06.1500* The app keeps up to date, minimalistic. Great for contactless events, just scan and go! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-07-27, version 2020.06.0110* Although I just got the app so it’s a little hard to find everything it’s a great app. It’s perfect for my CCP classes! ### 5/5 — :) *2020-05-15, version 2020.04.0600* :) ### 5/5 — great app *2020-01-31, version 2019.12.0400* great way to have access to all things through the ysu app ### 5/5 — 5 star *2020-01-27, version 2019.11.1100* Great place ### 5/5 — It’s a solid app *2020-01-24, version 2019.11.1100* this is pretty smooth and accessible. Maybe a few minor glitches hear and there. overall it’s great and convenient for me. ### 5/5 — Beth c *2020-01-21, version 2019.11.1100* Wonderful school , with just enough challenge that I enjoy it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dumb update *2026-05-26, version 2026.3.900* After the update to the app I’ve lost everything that was on it before, messages and all and can no longer get those conversations back. I feel there should’ve been a warning email sent saying that this would happen to ensure students were able to save their conversations and other information they had on their accounts. Overall an unneeded update to the app, can’t even find 1/2 the stuff that was easily accessible on the original version. ### 1/5 — Slow. *2017-11-15, version 7.998* The app is slow and very buggy. Needs a real update. Not reliable. ### 1/5 — Needs admin *2016-02-29, version 6.90* People are able to troll with no consequences. Until this is fixed, don't bother downloading. ### 2/5 — Tech support and detail needed *2020-11-03, version 2020.10.0500* very poor tech support if me or my friends have issues understanding how to find or do something on an app we shouldn’t have to call the PSC for an app details of campus events,rules,updates need improvement and it says there’s a campus map but it’s impossible to find on the app plenty of room for improvement ### 3/5 — Navigating the app as a College Student *2025-10-20, version 2024.01.0800* It’s a bit of a hard app to navigate, but also pretty helpful. ### 3/5 — Ysu *2024-09-06, version 2024.01.0800* Average uni not any after party and enjoyment. Just the standard celebration and all. The people are very friendly ### 3/5 — It’s cool *2023-12-20, version 2023.11.0600* I like that we can connect as students and stay up-to-date with things going on at YSU . It’s pretty refreshing. Although I don’t particularly like the direction why is she was going in at this current time. ### 3/5 — Still needs some work *2019-12-02, version 2019.2.1400* Over all the app is pretty decent. There’s just a couple of items I think should be addressed (today is December 2 2019) Firstly, When writing a comment, it’s one big continuous line. Unlike Facebook or twitter where you get about 6 lines of text you’re writing and it’s easy to go over what you wrote. Secondly, when someone else comments on a post you commented on, it’ll only send you a notification with a preview of the post that was commented on. I wish it would just take you to the post instead. ### 4/5 — Nervous but Fun *2025-01-15, version 2024.01.0800* I’m currently a new student, but so far it’s been fun. I’ve made friends my first week and so far I’m doing well. Hope for more fun. ### 4/5 — Such a good app *2022-09-03, version 2022.08.0800* It has a lot of features that I’ve never seen in a college app. I went to Penn State and this puts the Penn State Go app to shame. It has a social media app built into it and gives you useful information on events. I think the interface has room for improvement, but the app and its features are very nice. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy Enrollee *2026-01-10, version 2024.01.0800* I have received quick help and accurate information in my applying to the doctoral program at YSU.
