Terrible app; if I could rate negative, I would. Not only does the android version log you out of the app every time you open it. It doesn't even have a "keep me logged in option." Moreover, it lacks the simple features present on the ios version. For example, a campus map with all the current buildings and their names listed on it, a way to look at something more than just my total Wat card balance, and an overall poor user interface. If you dont need to, don't use the app. Use the website.

Portal keeps signing me out, I am really irritated by this feature, signing me out after 5 mins. Make the two factor longer or something.

Honestly fairly usefully app if you only are using it to look at your class schedule recently though has forced me to login everyday which is very annoying.
