Every time I try and use it it claims that there is no net connection and yet other apps that use WiFi and data are working perfectly. Reinstalled it to make sure the app was given the proper permission. Still have the same problem

I am going to be using this app very often now. It has features that any UW student would grow to need. Needs to improve upon UI and fix bugs (nothing the devs wouldn't already know). Looking forward to further updates.

Useless to have weather data. Maybe if it is developed for some android devices students can use around campus where only this app is available. Earned the second star for omg UW posts, but even that is poorly executed. Looks like a weekend project (interface wise)

The application has a searchable campus map that supports directions (outdoor only for now), therefore it requires fine-grained location information. The app also provide information from the internet, and obviously needs Networking permissions. The app uses no extra permissions. When there is a research study that uses the application as a platform, the version running the study has to request the permissions that the study needs. However, the permissions are used by the study and not the rest of the app. Studies are opt-in based, and are always approved by the Office or Research Ethics in the University of Waterloo. Also, participants receive generous remuneration as a sign of gratitude. Full disclosure: In case you haven't noticed, I am part of the research team that developed the app and that uses it for running studies.
