Illinois 4+

I really like this app, but unfortunately, the default language on my phone is not English, and the app doesn't seem to have any language settings to switch it to English. The app's automatic translation feature is not very helpful, as it simply translates all the words without any revision or modification. As a result, it's difficult for me to understand the app, even though it's in my own language.

Hi Stanley - We have heard you and others on this point. Version 5.0 has added the ability to override your phone's system language and use English. Go to Settings > My Language.

the login is only available after you turn the privacy settings to one of the highest numbers/least private setting... except once you set your privacy it doesn’t tell you that. Just takes away the login. Or the buttons to log in are the same, but just don’t work. Incredibly frustrating when the main function of the app before the update was just using it for ID, then changing most of the privacy features to not even include that.
It seems that a ton of new features were added to try to get students to use this app more often, instead of trying to understand what students actually use this app for. It feels like it’s all about as many features as they could think of, and it comes off incredibly overwhelming. The categorization is messy. Some of the features are interesting but I’ll still never use them.

pineyblues – Thank you for reviewing the Illinois app. We are looking to clarify the requirements for signing in to the app with your NetID. Your response to this issue is really helpful to us. The purpose of the Illinois app is to feature resources for navigating the Illinois campus – such as a digital Illini ID, calendars, news feeds, and residential tools. We appreciate your feedback as it lets us know which features are most helpful, and how we can make the app do what you would like it to do. We hope that you'll continue to use the app and share your feedback with us.

The app has been rendered entirely unusable on my iphone 7 as it logged me out due to a recent update, and upon my logging back in presented me with a screen to either opt in or opt out of on campus research participance. Unfortunately, this screen is not properly formatted for the size of my screen, with both the opt-in and opt-out buttons sitting below the bottom of the screen, effectively bricking the app for me since there is no way for me to provide any sort of input that might get rid of that screen, including turning on and off the app since it doesnt let you continue until you opt in or opt out. This is a tremendous oversight from an app so instrumental in conveniently keeping track of meal plan among many other uses

Hello! Thank you so much for leaving us a detailed description of the issue you encountered. This issue has been diagnosed and fixed, and the update is forthcoming. It seems to originate in the system font size. As a temporary solution, you might try setting fonts to a smaller size on your device display settings. Start the app again, and the banner should no longer take up the entire screen. The next update should eliminate the need to adjust your settings. Let us know if this information helps you out!
