App dose app things but no games. 2/5

This is stupid.. VT can't even control the students. But they choose to make it had on the people that work there and those come in less contact with people than students do

The app is installed. But the comment is just to say thank you to VT for making sure students AND staff get free access to COVID-19 rapid testing!
