Functional but still a lot of issues

Decent functionality for the most part but a shuttle color key should be added. Also the mobile email option (that's not minimal) you can't see the entire email sometimes. This needs to be fixed. Good start to an app but could be improved visually and functionally to improve its user interface.

App needs to be updated severely

If was built too long ago. Needs to be updated for iOS 7 let alone iOS 8. Very old

Useless map, useless app

The map shows the GPS locations of the buses but not the stops/routes. It also doesn’t show any buildings (or any features at all, really) on campus. That’s… um… special. The app lacks any campus police information (unless it’s hidden somewhere, which defeats the purpose), which seems like a pretty big oversight. And the calendar feature doesn’t let you add events to your… you know… calendar. Not to mention that the app hasn’t been updated for iOS 7 or even the Retina display.

Okay

Many sections of this app have not been updated in a while. It would be nice if it could be updated regularly to reflect the current school year. Also, consider adding Owl-Space functionality; that would be very useful.

Agree - this app is useless

Articles and news more than 2 years old? Also class description with room numbers would be a great help - and useful.

Useless

This application is useless for anything other than the bus system. Why have a major part of your app be a directory that has no searchability, no visible entries, and no ability to select something after the first 10 departments listed. This application was designed without any testing and no intended updates or fixes. A student could do a better job for free.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
