BYU Hack 14.5.15 + Redeem Codes

Junior in college here. I work at an on campus job and I LOVE this app. I use it to clock in/out for work, I can easily add money to my cougar cash (which is slightly cheaper than purchasing food at the cougar eat regularly bc through cougar cash it is tax free), and it’s the superior way to search for classes each semester because you can refine your searches to credit hours and times (unlike the web version of MyMap). These are just a tiny selection of the super helpful widgets that this app has. Super happy that the app developers really seem to have students’ priorities in mind, and kudos to everyone who helped design the app. <3

Also PS, your student ID in this app often qualifies as an official ID for a lot of BYU-related things, and I’ve used it in a pinch when I don’t have my physical ID on hand.

The BYU app is a must for any student or visitor to BYU. It maps your classes for you, which can help any new students feel less overwhelmed. The Y-Time feature allows me to clock in and out of campus jobs, and the Learning Suite feature allows me to check on the details and grades for an assignment quickly. When I forget my ID card, it pulls up a picture of it, valid for any instance in which you need to verify my identity (e.g. intramural sports check-ins). I also appreciate the Vending feature, which shows me where the nearest machines are as well as what items they’re stocked with currently. This app is a must-have!

Having used other university apps before and finding them useless, BYUs is great. You can clock in and out on it if you work on campus. You can use it to find microwaves on campus. You can check learning suite. There’s a digital ID card option if you don’t have your actual card. You can see all the printers on campus too and if they are black and white or have color. There’s a LOT you can use it for!

I love this app! I also have an idea for an improvement that I think a lot of students would value. By creating a “healthy together” type function native to the app it would eliminate the need for the separate “healthy together” app. I would really value this as I wouldn’t have to have a separate app just to get into the library or any other building on campus. When I think of anything BYU my mind goes to the Y app, not the healthy together app.

I definitely wish I could do more with it, but the app is constantly being improved and it works well. I love the ability to add all my classes and assignments in my calendar/reminders. That was really nice to just do it instantly at the beginning of the semester. It would be nice if I could customize that a bit, but overall it’s a fantastic feature. Keep up the good work!

Every function I’ve ever had the necessity of using has been good. The app itself is pretty intuitive to use in general. I only wish the Learning Suite function was more useful. Currently I can only use to to view things; I can’t take quizzes or submit assignments. Could be because my phone is old and the OS can’t do that. However, with how capable smartphones are nowadays I feel like it isn’t too far fetched to implement this sort of thing. What do I know though?

This app has been a game changer throughout my entire byu experience. However, the icon was just changed and there is a white bar down the left side that is driving me nuts. I tried to find somewhere else to report it, but hopefully people read this.

This app puts a lot of the features on BYU’s website in one easy-to-find place. It gets the job done, and the app continues to improve. It has definitely gotten a lot better during the 4 years I’ve been a student 👍🏼

The app is pretty great and has lots of helpful widgets to choose between. The main problem I have with it is it crashes every time I open it (it loads the second time) which gets pretty annoying. But I think they updated the learning suite preview to make it much more helpful, which is great.

um…
Why can’t I use my cougar cash/dining plan/dining dollars at the cougar eat when I try to mobile order? All year I’ve been able to until I tried today. The only option is paying with a card. Not looking forward to waiting in line to order at the kiosk. I work for dining services so I get dining dollars but the main thing I use them for is now gone so what’s the point 💀
