Abuzz passes with flying colors.

Overall for my first year in higher education, I loved having an app I could go to view daily activities, group chats, and having it all there at your fingertips and not on seperate apps is great.

PROS

The features about abuzz that I appreciate most is the apps ability to connect a campus full of students who are on many different wavelengths and combines it all seamlessly into an app.

CONS

Some of the notifications for large groupchats are off from the time of the message to the notifications. I missed quite q lot.

I had. aplenty neutral experience with Abuzz overall. I used it much more at the beggining of the academic year and my use has slowly dwindled.

PROS

Abuzz: It could use some work

PROS

I liked how Abuzz allowed me to connect with my campus community quickly

CONS

The UI is horrendous. The chats are within so many sub menus that they are difficult to access. Abuzz needs better notification management, like if I prefer to be notified in my groups but not for campus-wide announcements. Group creation, moderation, and management should make sense. Announcements and posts made by the Abuzz admins should be stored somewhere so if I close the banner they're not gone forever. A proper event calendar should be accessible to all users, even if admins have to approve events added to it.

Abuzz is a great app for college students

PROS

The best thing about Abuzz is the deals section. It gives you information about different deals on campus or in the area and it allows you to save money as a broke college student.

CONS

The only thing about Abuzz that I’m not a fan of at all is how much the campus representatives post. Sometimes getting 100 notifications from the same person is annoying and it only drains my battery instead of serving any benefit to me

It’s great! Keeps me connected to my college friends

My overall experience would be a 8/10 because overall abuzz has done more good for me than bad.

PROS

I love that I knew what events were happening around campus that my friends and I could attend.

I think just the user friendly aspect. I don’t find it easy to navigate
