Really useful for PSU students

I’ve been using Penn State Go for a while now and it’s been super handy. All the stuff I actually need day to day (Canvas, email, LionPATH, Starfish, dining menus, shuttle info, mobile ordering, etc.) is in one place so I’m not constantly digging around different sites or apps. It makes checking to-do’s and class announcements way easier.Honestly, it’s just nice having everything Penn State related in one app. Definitely makes life as a student here simpler.

PennState Go keeps me going at Penn State

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 fine

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
