I thought to myself as I downloaded this, “Now I will be able to access my uk email and find class times from an app, instead of opening up my email. How convenient!” Now I realize you can do neither of those things on myUK mobile. As it turns out, myUK mobile is like myUk but with(considerably) less. Might as well search myUk on safari. To be honest, I do not know why anyone recommended this. To promote UK events and give students the chance to participate, or to maintain the guise of UKs focus toward student convenience? In its essence, myUk mobile is a manifestation of UKs lack of concern for making student life easier. It almost seems as though university faculty will assume that students always prefer “digital” and “mobile” things. When it comes to homework, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Students are crying out against Zoom lectures and online homework vocally. In all actuality, these systems are implemented for the convenience of professors, not students. Cheaper it becomes for universities to provide an education, and more expensive yet that education becomes for students. Virtually any competitive industry could procure something more useful than this.
The app is not full featured, but is good for quick information without going to full website. The biggest complaint I have with the app is it does not auto orientate. I have to turn my ipad sideways to get the full screen. This is annoying because I use my ipad with a keyboard that has the physical orientation of the ipad horizontal, so I either have to remove my ipad from my keyboard case or turn my keyboard sideways.
You can do almost nothing with this app. It includes a campus map and a directory of students, faculty, and staff. What about meal plans, course catalog, all the day-to-day things a UK affiliate needs to manage? They do push this app hard and I can’t see why. I downloaded it after it was recommended at new employee orientation and removed it after I quickly realized it was worthless. I have downloaded it again to check out the new employee functionality but I don’t believe it will last long... You could do SO MUCH with this, what a shame.
I'm a new UK student and they really push you to use this app, but it doesn't work! Sometimes I can login and it works fine, but most of the time it just gives me a blank screen where there should be a menu. The app hasn't been updated in THREE YEARS! If they want you to use their app so bad, maybe they should make it compatible with the current ios! I have an iPhone 5c which will only update to iOS 10.3.3 but this app doesn't even work on my admittedly outdated phone!
When I first got the app i tried logging in but it kept saying my password was incorrect. I went to change my password and the app tells me the same thing, my password is incorrect. I’ve changed my password about 3 times and nothing has worked. I haven’t even gotten to use the app yet! Really frustrating.
As a graduating student, the Plan & Register for Courses option does not work due to me not accepting a statement of obligation for the next semester... Would be nice to be able to use the app to at least view my schedule for the current semester.
The app acts like it needs to open a browser window to complete payment, but it cannot actually open the window. Instead, a box with the web address pops up over and over. I've deleted and readded this app so many times, but it remains useless for almost everything.
There’s no way to access messages from your doctors from a mobile phone. This must be addressed because if there’s a very important message and I don’t have my laptop, I can’t check it
I downloaded this to keep an eye on my final grades as they’re posted. It’s the end of Fall 2020 but the K-feed is stuck on Spring 2020 and there’s no way to change it.
This app does not work with an iPhone 5S running 8.1.3. Attempts to download then when launched immediately crashes. Uninstalling and reboots do not help. Needs to be updated to be relevant with recent Apple software.
App used to be pretty good, very functional if aesthetically unappealing. Now, though, it doesn't work on iOS 9. Would be super handy if it did again, because it WAS a decently convenient app to have.
