### 2/5 — Useful but has big problems

*2022-02-24*

1. It would be nice to be able to see the menu for the entire day instead of just what is currently being served.

2. The bigger problem is that because this is unofficial the zot pass isn’t accepted. Since this is a big feature of the app it should be taken out until it’s accepted or just remove it or people will think it works.

**Developer response:** I understand ur concern. Necessary changes will be carried out during spring break since I have a heavy course load and it’s near finals season. I am thinking about conducting a user feedback on reddit soon to gather more things to fix. Meanwhile, I want to thank you for using the app. - Shengyuan, ZotMeal iOS Dev

### 5/5 — One Suggestion

*2022-02-16*

Great app, but just one suggestion. Could you code it so that it shows the current/upcoming themed event(s) of the day?

### 5/5 — Good job 👏

*2022-02-06*

Really enjoying the app so far, helped me a lot

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2022-02-04*

Clean and efficient, you can find everything you need, from all the current menus, prices, and even closing times. The app also has a zotpass integrated into the app. Very fluid and so far I haven’t ran into any bugs!

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2022-01-08*

This app is designed and works better than any other app or service actually made by UCI
