Since the update the app rarely loads, just gets stuck on the 'please wait screen' so I can never use it. The previoue version was perfect as it worked quickly and was easy for me to check. Now I have to rely on friends or check the Newcastle uni website which defeests the point of the app.

Hi Claire, sorry you've been having trouble accessing the app. We've just released a fix for this bug (version 5.3.2) which is rolling out now. You should be prompted to update over the next few days but can get instant access by joining our beta program. Please email mobile@ncl.ac.uk if you have any trouble getting the update.

the newest update is terrible. Now the app won't work, it won't go past the loading screen. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it but that didn't work. I've tried opening it with both my Wi-Fi and mobile data but it won't open for either. This desperately needs to be fixed.

perfectly good app. looks like the icon is now adaptive. looks great in Nova launcher. Aside from aesthetics, other elements are great, such as the calendar and information on printing credit. I can certainly appreciate the time and effort that has gone into using Google maps too!
