Ratings and reviews

UW gets ridiculed for stuff that's completely in their control and this app is just another example. First came dysfunction from what was a near perfectly functional app when it first released in 2016 to what it has now become, a literal waste of storage space. I stopped using the app for all but one widget after a few months because of the bugs introduced with every new update, but now even that feature AND EVERY OTHER FEATURE which made this app worth downloading and using is completely gone.

My go-to app for campus life and the amazing events going on out there. Some features that have been of tremendous help to me are: A) It lists out all the upcoming registered events so I don't have to go the portal website and/or merge my Google Calendar there. B) It provides links and descriptions of all the researches and publishings led by UWaterloo students or professors. That serves as a moment of pride and drives me to work more. C) Analysis of weekly weather reports helps a lot. Cheers!

It's a fine app. Issues with loading sometimes. I like the calendar/schedule and the fact that it can be exported. I wish we could manage event registrations from our phones; it's a hassle to need a computer on you to cancel or register for an event.
