Useless, poorly made.
Not sure who constructed this application at the Brandeis safety department, but the user experience is so poor it practically makes it unusable. Would have been great to have student and faculty feedback on a project like this before implementing it, but that’s just in Brandeis’ nature to not care. Many of the emergency procedures require you to call the police outside of the app (why even have the app?), and a warning pops up about not enabling notifications even when they are enabled. The campus is so small that most tools, like friend walk, blue light, and the map (which unbelievably stupidly goes to the Brandeis website) are not useful whatsoever for people who have been on the campus more than 2 days and know their way around. Total disappointment and a waste of an app.
