Description

Bison Safe is the official safety app of Howard University. It is the only app that integrates with Howard University's safety and security systems. The Howard University Department of Public Safety has worked to develop a unique app that provides students, faculty and staff with added safety on the Howard University campus. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources.
Bison Safe features include:

- Emergency Contacts: Contact the correct services for the Howard University area in case of an emergency or a non-emergency concern
- Mobile Bluelight: Send your location to Howard University security in real-time in case of a crisis

- Friend Walk: Send your location to a friend through email or SMS on your device. Once the friend accepts the Friend Walk request, the user picks their destination and their friend tracks their location in real time; they can keep an eye on them to make sure they make it safely to their destination.

- Tip Reporting: Multiple ways to report a safety/security concern directly to Howard University security.

- Campus Maps
- Campus Map: Navigate around the Howard University area.

No way to book an appointment

For 2 months they’ve been trying to make you book an appointment through the app and I’ve only been able to do that ONCE before the option to book stopped showing up on my app. The nurses and others working at the testing sites have tried figuring out the issue but they couldn’t. I get tested every week, but now that we are facing disciplinary action if we don’t book and get tested every week through the APP, it makes it complicated as I don’t even have the option to do so. Fix the app. I’m not about to get suspended over the app not working when I’ve been doing everything I’m supposed to do. Like who can I talk to at this point??

app interface is broken

whoever designed the app interface clearly doesn’t really know what they’re doing. the buttons don’t respond when you click them. it will actually highlight the words on the button to copy rather than actually click the button itself.

howard requires the symptom check self-assessment but it takes at least 10 minutes to get past the “get started” portal to actually then “login,” “select person,” “create pass” and then complete your self-assessment. the app wasn’t perfect prior to our return to campus for spring semester but it was definitely better than this.

please fix this because it is making our spring semester increasingly difficult. especially with staff members that are dismissive and not very understanding that the app is not working.

This App Does Not Work

I can not login to update weekly symptoms nor can I schedule an appointment for COVID testing. I deleted and redownload this app a few times. However, it still does not work and it’s required for my program. I’ve emailed multiple people multiple times, to try to fix this issue and never got a response. Please fix this app. Also who can I contact to fix this issue that will respond to me?
