What are users saying about Wisconsin

The app is useful as it has a lot of features that are helpful while being in this university, such as bus routes, MyUW, and more, but the UI feels outdated and not very user-friendly.

X70%
by X####:

Many features do not work on offcampus tablet

S70%
by S####:

The app works sometimes and can be useful but often I have to open the app several times before it works. I dislike the new layout of the app especially the new menu. Having to wait for the menu options to finish scrolling down before I can select them is just annoying. The few positives of this app is accurate bus times, and detailed route maps. I just wish it wasn't so buggy and or resistant to work. I always laugh when the app stops working because it literally says Wisconsin has stopped working.

Its had its issues with starting and stopping. Kinda a pain when you want to go back to the previous page and it just goes back to the menu. Had some trouble opening a couple pdfs. But it is really nice to have an app for school. I hope they fix it up.

A70%
by A####:

Crashes, logs you out, doesn't open PDFs or word docs or ppts, total junk. Almost useless

S70%
by S####:

I did like this app for bus tracking, but the current version does not allow me to add "favorite" stops. So now I have to manually search by stop number each time. This is really inconvenient if I am trying to plan when to get to the bus stop and I don't know it's number off the top of my head. Needs to be fixed! Also hate the bouncing screen when the main page opens.

S70%
by S####:

Please pay attention to Android too. The bus tracker never loads any more.

S70%
by S####:

The majority of this app is broken and not optimized well for android, constant crashing and poor accessibility will keep this app from being "essential" or "useful"

S70%
by S####:

Can we really do something about the interface please? I'm pretty sure the CS guys would be excited if you give them a chance to re design it!

S70%
by S####:

Crashes a lot and is very touchy to the back button

B70%
by B####:

It used to show where the buses on their route map were, but it doesn't show anymore, please fix this.

O70%

Closes unexpectedly when you open the app ! Needs to be fix!

S70%

Crashes always. Unusable.

W70%
by W####:

I primarily use this app for the bus times, and while it's nice to have live times for each bus, it's not helpful if they never load.

C70%
by C####:

I really like the new UI, but I think the background photos need to be chosen carefully as sometimes the text on top of the images becomes hard to read.

M70%
by M####:

I wish the menu would not bounce when the app starts, I always click the wrong thing.

M70%
by M####:

Functional, yet horribly broken. Every time I open it, it crashes and I have to open it again. Then it works. Useful only for the bus tracker.

T70%
by T####:

The bus app is very useful. The other stuff I find hard to use.

M70%
by M####:

Please fix it. It's quite frustrating to be stranded...especially with winter on its way!!!! And when we aren't in Kansas any more...

M70%
by M####:

Never works when you need it to. Every new update is worse than the last. The app worked the best my freshman year; I'm a senior now and it still hasn't been fixed!

M70%
by M####:

I think for the most part, the app is okay. Bus times are not as accurate and can definitely be improved. I tend to get a lot of "error" when using the bus app saying something went wrong or it has a hard time finding my location which is weird because I have my wifi on all the time and mobile data.

G70%
by G####:

The bus arrival time could be more accurate, and shouldn't be that hard to show me the bus route

M70%
by M####:

The bus app is nice but it only works half the time

M70%
by M####:

It crashes all the time. It's great when it works but rarely does it ever.

M70%
by M####:

Always with me

M70%
by M####:

Frequently crashes, bus stops only load about half the time.

M70%
by M####:

Helps me know if I missed a bus or if it's just running late.

M70%
by M####:

Gone back to access with a regular browser.

M70%
by M####:

It keeps crashing. I mainly use it for the Bus times. Would be really nice if when I click on the bus number it shows only that specific bus route, that bus time and the stops close to where I am.

T70%
by T####:

Using learn@uw and email can be a real pain due to the app constantly logging you out. Not worth the headache.

M70%
by M####:

The bus app is beyond broken

M70%
by M####:

needs better navigation and more intuitive menus/submenus.

J70%
by J####:

Too many bugs

N70%
by N####:

Good

E70%
by E####:

Every time u try and open the app says there is an unfortunate error.

M70%
by M####:

Slow and crashes constantly

U70%
by U####:

The Real Time bus info fails to load with an unknown error 9 times out of 10. It also randomly stops working and crashes. Lastly, the menu items bouncing around on the home screen, which maybe looks neat, makes it impossible to make a selection until it settles down.

U70%
by U####:

I still like the old bus app better. However, the update is a little better than previous one. It says error a lot. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I like the original bus app.

J70%
by J####:

I primarily use this app for the bus times, and while it's nice to have live times for each bus, it's not helpful if they never load.
