I like the app; it’s reasonably functional and serves a purpose. For one, the map is probably the MVP for the app. It’s a helpful resource for finding location sites on the campus, it will usually give a brief description/history of the specific location, and the address instantly launches google maps. The below tabs are also additional recourse to further connect to One Portal and other campus services.
I feel like the app overall works and serves part of its primary purpose, to keep all information that we students use frequently in one place (canvas, email, campus map, etc...) but I also believe that it could do a better job of making the information easier to access. For instance, I’m having to log into my email 3 times a day because it keeps logging me out. That’s super annoying and even though I clicked “keep me logged in” it still signs me out every time I leave the app. It makes the app a struggle to use by making me sign completely back in before I have access to anything. I also feel that the app layout is nice and I can see everything in front of me when I open it but it could have a more modern feel to it. It seems to need an overall update; it feels old when I’m using it, lagging and just the way everything looks. It’s like using an iPhone 3g when the iPhone X is out. Other than that, it works well and provides all my information to me in one place.
This app is a must have for all OU students! Don’t hesitate to download it, it will keep you up to date with every exciting event on campus! This app includes academic and financial resources as well as additional support for students! Downloading this app cuts out the hassle of having multiple tabs open to pay your bursar, check grades, schedule, etc. Everything you will need is in this single app! I had to take away 2 stars because the app definitely needs fine tuning! Perhaps a way to clear notifications without having to click every individual alert? Boomer!
Tried to get to Nielsen Hall through google maps, short story was I couldn’t find the place, took every winding turn and went around every single building, ended up at Kauffman. Entered Nielsen in the app and took me exactly to the place I wanted! Now if only it could find me locations like Burr park or the southern sand volleyball courts… oh well future updates maybe?
Like the app, and certainly like the premise for the app where you have all your info you need consolidated into one app but it is buggy and the UI needs a lot of work. Not to mention, the Canvas page of the app, which would potentially be my favorite part of the app doesn’t work for any apparent reason. So there’s that.
I have truly enjoyed this semester at OU. My professors have been outstanding, and they created an optimal learning experience for myself and my colleagues. It has been an honor and privilege having this unique and wonderful opportunity to further my education at OU.
I love this app! The moment my colleague told me about it, I knew it was going to be life-changing. I open it every morning for my reminders. So far I do not have any complaints.
Good app. I wished you could delete notifications all at once, but other than that, I love it. It's fast, doesn't glitch and runs very smooth on both LTE and wifi.
I do wish this app was as traversable as the browser version of Canvas. Also, it seems to notify me of messages from Canvas a couple of days after they were sent. I once drove all the way to Norman for a class that had been cancelled, due to this app’s late notification.
I think OU is on to something great with this app, keeping us updated @ all times will be the way of the future. I am happy I am one of the first crowds to give this app a try
Great tool that provides easy access to student resources and information for on time analysis of their classes and any other facets of their Sooner experience. We’ll done.
Having some issues getting read items to disappear from my notifications. Wish I could mark as read more than ten items at a time. Overall it’s a good app but minor improvements could definitely be made.
Oh I absolutely love my time so far at OU.... I truly love being a student here on campus at norman.... the best!! As a student from Nigeria ... I am absolutely in love with the school and my experience has been nothing short of amazing!! .... boomer!!
I enjoy the app as it is very user friendly. I’m a returning student after a 16yr hiatus…. It’s never too late. “The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste”.
Parking is a nightmare. Especially for new students like myself who did not anticipate how bad it would be. Other than that I love the school and the vibes are great.
I’m an OU freshmen and this app makes it really easy to find my courses and my class and due dates really took out some stress from starting my first year!
Very useful for new students or even returning students! Helpful when navigating around campus, figuring out his schedules, and even finding free food! Boomer sooner!
This app literally stopped updating last summer. So it doesn’t show the classes I’m signed up for this spring semester, and it doesn’t show the class I signed up for this past fall after dropping one class (which it still shows that I’m enrolled in).
The app is well-structured, but I wish it didn’t log me out and make me put in my 4x4 every time I use it. That kind of negates the convenience of the app.
