CampusGroups 4+

This app does work for what it is used for. I find it to be really slow and glitchy. I get the same notification for events for days after it has occurred. It can also just send me 5 notifications in a second. Had to turn off notifications even though I need them.

This app is terrible. I appreciate its concept but it’s execution is horrible. I wish I could give more specifics but I’m exhausted and my longer review glitched out and got deleted.

It’s horribly unintuitive, bizarrely structured, and wildly overcomplicated. The functionality is not nearly deep enough to warrant such a convoluted structure. Loading different “apps” within it is way too confusing. There are way too many different pages that seemingly serve the same purpose while all being incredibly confusing.

It’s load times are astoundingly awful and make it a chore to even navigate. They don’t speed up on faster internet or on simpler pages. Fifteen seconds to load your own profile, containing your name, profile picture, and email, and that’s it. A quarter of a minute. It makes the app feel more like a task than a tool.

Also when loading your profile it just shows “()()” and an option to post a comment. Then, when it loads, it doesn’t have that option at all, and obviously the debug text is taking away. Like, come on, programmers. This is insane.

There’s so much more, too. So much more.

Hire a user experience manager. Come on.

As a university student whose campus requires the use of CampusGroups, I wanted to like this application. I like the functionality of being able to plan out my schedule in advance and see all upcoming events happening on my campus. However, both the mobile and web versions of this application have a convoluted, confusing and overly difficult UI (both for users and administrative functions), not to mention constant bugs and lagginess. If this app were made simpler, cleaner, and smoother, it would feel much more like a useful tool and less like a hassle.
