It's ok... Mainly just an app to launch other apps or go to websites.

Does not let me download/view attachments such as the syllabus for class! It tells me: "Please insert or unmount storage media to download and view attachments" it is definitely not my phone bc my tablet does it too and neither has additional storage media.

Good UI refresh but I feel that it's mainly cosmetic (and could look even better). I think the UI set up could be arranged a little more ergonomically as well. The app works quickly but I think in a future update someone should work on UI and service/functionality efficiency. I hope to see these changes in the future! :D

Needs a major update that uses Google's material design. It's 2016 and its time to take advantage of the useful features of Lollipop and Marshmallow?

I noticed to 1L bus now uses the new road on lucinda near Stevenson but the route does not display this. Also, the Barsema express should be tracked so students in residence halls may take full advantage of this bus.

I want an icon that let's you access the school calendar!! That too that opens in-line rather than launching a web browser. That would be a great big help!...... THUMBS UP THIS REVIEW IF YOU AGREE WITH CALENDAR FEATURE!

I wish I could uninstall the update. The new map is crazy confusing to use and now I have to download another app to use the blackboard tab instead of just having the one app how it use to be.

Why is NIU football in a separate app that costs money? Like basketball it should be free. This app is good but football app is unfortunate. Even pro NFL teams have free apps.
