Christopher L		 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.

Priyanshu Sarkar		 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.

Boulderfrog “Boulderfrog” Boulderfrog		 I downloaded this one because the old one doesn't seem to want to work, but for all I got out of it I might as well have not bothered. The UI is terrible and doesn't give near as much information as the old app

A Google user		 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.

A Google user		 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!

A Google user		 Uwaterloo portal is a very handy app created for uwaterloo students. I like the UI, the black and gold design. By using this app I can see today's agenda and the events for which I have registered for. Also I can check in academics what courses I enrolled for and can check learn announcements. One can check campus life events, various services offered by the University. Aslo it is amazing that I can check my WATCARD balance and meal plans. Overall it an app needed for a UW student.

A Google user		 It is a great app to keep up with what's happening on campus and your own classes. Also love the customized feature where everything is planned out on the calendar according to your own schedule.

A Google user		 I personally like as I am able to see clearly the deadline and book for ang upcoming event . What is more interesting is that it shows my watcard balance so i dont have to go to SLC and check my balance.
