Ratings and reviews

Really concerning that it won't let me upload a photo but instead I have to take one. I find that worrisome and it's a major security risk. Especially for any secure facilities, you have no idea what information might be in that photo or who has access to it on y'all's side. And the fact it's tying function to you TAKING a picture is odd. Without it clearly stating the reason and way it uses that information I will not be uploading anything more than a black screen.

The purpose of this app is to make swiping into your dining hall easier. Unfortunately, it makes things even less convenient. My issues: 1) Often does not load my QR code fast enough, so I had to resort to using a screenshot. 2) It doesn't make sense that you can't use your ID card to swipe in anymore. They both work. Although, that may be specific to my location. 3) It is supposed to tell me how many swipes I have left but the number is always incorrect. 4) The menu never loads.

The app is so buggy I can't even get into it. I must've gone through the sign in/up process eight times by now, once you hit "next" after putting in campus info it crashes. I've uninstalled,, restarted my phone, there's no data or cache to clear because it doesn't stay open long enough. Edit: no permissions are denied, signal is fine, and apparently this has been a pretty consistent issue (among others) since 2020? Come on, yall 😮‍💨
