    The app has a lot of functions for me to quickly access systems needed for academic life at Penn State. Being able to reach Canvas quick in class is really nice, as well as the Covid symptom checker. I’ve used the link out to the symptom checked everyday during the semester since Covid started to get advice when I don’t feel well. I definitely like having the everything app.

    When first opening the app, you are greeted with a page full of options that you may need. Many very helpful in your day to day life. But as soon as you click one, the problems start to arise. To start, the messages feature rarely works as it should. The app also has you log in often, but won’t let you auto fill and will sometimes just not log in. The biggest pet peeve is how none of the icons lead you to that section like you would expect. Most of them open a page of safari in the app. The app renders itself pointless due to how you can do everything faster by a google search. The app needs an extreme amount of bug fixes before it is usable.

    It’s alright. Really useful in certain aspects, really annoying in other. Sometimes I rather just open the Penn State websites on chrome or safari instead of on the app, and the notifications keep saying that they’re unread even though I press “mark all as read” every time they show up. Sometimes it feels like the app is just using the website and didn’t change the function for the phone experience (example: the maps). Has a lot of potential and some of it is good but a fair bit wasted

    While I am glad this app finally exists, and appreciate all the functionality it contains, it could use some design tweaks. From the main screen you get a 4x5 grid of icons. While I would have done it differently, there’s nothing wrong with that. However, the quick access menu at the bottom is grossly underutilized. It contains the least important items, when it should contain the most frequently used items. Moving into the LionPATH navigator, the first issue I see is that all the categories are expanded by default. There should be an expandable option for each item (I.e. My Schedules, My Finances, etc..) rather than showing it all to the user immediately. Continuing, when a user makes any selection, the page goes white with “updating” at the bottom for a few seconds. The main concern here is the blank screen which refreshes once updated. It is fine, but the user experience would be more fluid if the “updating” was an overlaying text box on the previous scene rather than dedica...

    What better way a school to spend your tuition than to develop an app that uses a laggy and outdated embedded browser that literally just takes you to a mobile webpage. Oh you want Canvas. It just opens the Canvas app. If you want to see your email? Well it doesn’t use The Outlook app they pushed on students. It uses that crappy outdated browser again. What if I log in? Will it work then? Of course not. If you log in, the only thing it does is continue to ask you to log in when you touch anything. Do you know why we actually need? A new LionPATH app. Not this monstrosity.
