Ratings and reviews

A good application with a basic at best UI, however. 1) The constant need to login in everyday is annoying, and I know the reasons behind that is due to opening an embedded browser, but still is limiting for what could be a great app for quick and easy access. This mainly has limited my usage of the app to find out what's for lunch. 2) I don't particularly care for the UI honestly, reminds me of something I threw together when I was playing around in Adobe XD for a few hours. - Geoffrey

Having to put in a two factor authentication every time I log into anything is tedious and negates the whole purpose of having an app that can access everything in one place. Logging in once on the app itself should then give a student access to everything without having to log into everything again every time. If I was actually on campus this might be more useful for events or meals, but as a World Campus student I'll likely only occasionally use this app, if at all.

I can't buy food everytime I try to order it tells me to sign in after signing in it erases my order and I have to choose again when I try to order it tells me to sign in again. It's the same whole process am tired, I haven't been able to order anything since morning.
