Dose not rotate

The app is not full featured, but is good for quick information without going to full website. The biggest complaint I have with the app is it does not auto orientate. I have to turn my ipad sideways to get the full screen. This is annoying because I use my ipad with a keyboard that has the physical orientation of the ipad horizontal, so I either have to remove my ipad from my keyboard case or turn my keyboard sideways.

I thought to myself as I downloaded this, “Now I will be able to access my uk email and find class times from an app, instead of opening up my email. How convenient!” Now I realize you can do neither of those things on myUK mobile. As it turns out, myUK mobile is like myUk but with(considerably) less. Might as well search myUk on safari. To be honest, I do not know why anyone recommended this. To promote UK events and give students the chance to participate, or to maintain the guise of UKs focus toward student convenience? In its essence, myUk mobile is a manifestation of UKs lack of concern for making student life easier. It almost seems as though university faculty will assume that students always prefer “digital” and “mobile” things. When it comes to homework, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Students are crying out against Zoom lectures and online homework vocally. In all actuality, these systems are implemented for the convenience of professors, not students. Cheaper it becomes for universities to provide an education, and more expensive yet that education becomes for students. Virtually any competitive industry could procure something more useful than this.

Bug - Graduating Students

As a graduating student, the Plan & Register for Courses option does not work due to me not accepting a statement of obligation for the next semester... Would be nice to be able to use the app to at least view my schedule for the current semester.

You can do almost nothing with this app. It includes a campus map and a directory of students, faculty, and staff. What about meal plans, course catalog, all the day-to-day things a UK affiliate needs to manage? They do push this app hard and I can’t see why. I downloaded it after it was recommended at new employee orientation and removed it after I quickly realized it was worthless. I have downloaded it again to check out the new employee functionality but I don’t believe it will last long...You could do SO MUCH with this, what a shame.
