AND MORE
Browse the available student work positions, explore the current academic course catalog, and hit that More button for the near-exhaustive A-Z list of everything at St. Olaf.
Not a fan of this most recent update. I want to be able to see the lunch and dinner options at all times of the day. Everything else is really good but the Stav Hall menu (what I use this for the most) is a big step down. Please consider changing it back.EDIT: They changed it back! Thank you so much.
Developer Response
We just added the option to let you switch between meal options at all times of the day. We hope this addresses your concern! Thanks for the feedback.
Great app, but…

On my iPhone 12 mini the buttons at the bottom of the menu screen are squished into the corners and the settings and edit buttons are hard to press as they are underneath the time and WiFi/battery icons at the top of the screen.
Hooray for Campus Information

This is my go-to spot to find out what the Cage is serving, how many flex dollars I have left, and when the Cage closes on Friday night.
SIS & Transportation Issues
Aluminum Coffee
SIS is not working, and the transportation information is just wrong in general. I still had to go to the St. Olaf website to get the correct information I needed. Needs improvements and updates, but I still have hope that the app will be the best thing ever.
Developer Response
We're sorry to hear you're having issues with SIS & Transportation. We're wrapping up our latest changes and you should see an update within the next two weeks. SIS will be down in the app until we can verify that it is returning the correct information. Thank you for your feedback!
We're back! Just in time (a little late) for the 11 year 11 month anniversary of All About Olaf 1.0, we've got new features, bug fixes, and some cairn piles for a few now-departed features as well.
If you like this update, shoot us an email! If you don't like the update, please also shoot us an email! Ideas? Requests? Tips? Email us! (There's a Contact section in the app now.)
New:
- Dark mode! And alternate app icons!
- Every screen has been adjusted for iOS 27's design foibles
- A brand-new **The Olaf Messenger** experience, providing entire issues as they're published on the website!
- A bright and shiny **Map** screen, with buildings, inside spaces, and even a bunch of Natural Lands trails to explore!
- **Student Work** exploration, including "new since I last looked" for catching the freshest job opportunities.
- A refreshed **Calendar**, now showing both St. Olaf and Student Orgs (Presence) events! Use the Filter widget in the bottom-right to focus your events.
- **Building Hours** now take break schedules into account!
Fixed:
- Buildings that close at 2am no longer show as being open at inappropriate hours!
Unknown:
- stoPrint. Does it work? Does it not? Let us know!
Removed:
- OleCard Balances: as we're unofficial, we can't access individual SIS accounts, so we had to demote this to only a bookmark that opens SIS. (This feature hasn't worked since 2020 or so.)
- TES: as part of simplifying the SIS tab, we removed the Time Entry System bookmark. Let us know if you miss it!
- Similarly, we dropped the Moodle bookmark. If you miss it, shoot us an email!
- PoliticOle and Oleville have been removed
