Ratings and reviews

The app works well for the most part. There are 2 big issues though. First, it requires you take a picture of yourself, which I refuse to do. I instead used a picture of Barrack Obama. Second, it turns on Bluetooth automatically, which is very annoying if you don't want to use it. I had to strip the app of that ability which you can only do if you are rooted.

I have been trying to add a (very valid) visa credit card (I use it nearly every day) to my account for months, the app says invalid card. Update: I have finally heard back from eatable (after many attempts at contact) that CCs might not be allowed at our campus. This would be good to be notified of in the app! The 'got a question' tab is broken on the app as well.

Eatable is a good app that works well when you have a stable internet connection. It is flawed and has struggled with bugs, but often these failures have more to do with Commons staff than the app. 4/5: Does what it says on the box, most of the time
