Ratings and reviews

worst app ever. literally doesn't do the job it's supposed to do. constantly disconnects me and won't let me rejoin the network. i feel like im spending my life uninstalling and reinstalling this app as that's the only way to reset it all. ive wasted so much of my mobile data trying to get it to work. this review won't even post the service is so slow here and I dont have the eduroam WiFi to make it quicker. has this been their plan all along?

The number of chicken-n-egg scenarios that are built into this whole eduroam way of doing things is mind boggling. You need an internet connection to download an app, for the app to load institutions, to connect to your university help page if things don't work, and so on. All this for a supposed convenience. At the end it still doesnt work on Android 11. Android goes between "connecting" and "saved", without bothering to say what exactly went wrong).

The app simply does not work! First, it should not be needed. There should be a manual way to configure eduroam; moreover, this app requires an internet connection, which leads to chicken-and-egg situation really soon. Second, it does *not* have an option display your password. For someone using a strong password, this is a major PITA. Moreover, the connection just always fails. The application has no checks whatsoever, so there's no way to know why it fails. USELESS, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

What’s new

This version adds a profile/status display after configuring the network, so you can review the expiration time and easier renew ahead of time.
