★★☆☆☆
What's wrong with this app: push notifications can't be customised, push notifications will tell you've checked-in and then remind you to check-in, check-in function itself constantly fails for no obvious reason, fingerprint recognition is bugged and sometimes you'll unlock it only to repeat the unlock process, menus appear blank from time to time and you'll have to reinstall the app, it is generally really slow, it crashes at least once a week. you must use this app as it is pushed by uni.
★★☆☆☆
Never able to just go on the app. You always have to reinstall it or log out and in again to do pretty much anything. From checking in, to looking at your timetable. Half the time it doesn't even load onto the app, instead you're faced with a blank screen.
★★☆☆☆
The worst app on the play store. All students have to use it for attendence monitoring, with sometimes heavy consequences if attendance isn't good. It needs reinstalling almost daily to work, and even then it often doesn't work. Failed check ins and blank timetables happen constantly
