The Student Room Customer Insights

1. The one good thing about the app is the notificationsAfter the new update,I have seen a lot of options in TSR to change ,such as now I can't change my account name ,my profile picture ,can not view images posted to forums properly.

2. This would allow students from a certain area form a community and have a safe place online to talk about issues and honest reviews of different schools.Nothing like the website.

3. One star dropped due to some lack of general functionality (eg view profiles or open links within the app), and another dropped for lack of latex support on the app- it's imperative for a forum involving mathematical discussion to have latex support.

4. Developers need to learn you can't just make an app ex nihilio.This app is okay but is in drastic need of an update where there is a better layout, a way to edit your profile and at least have some more settings on it like the google page.

5. The only thing that the app has is notification options.The app runs slowly and gets even slower as you browse more forums, which makes it a frustrating experience.

6. I suggest using the web and/or pc.This app is useless you'd be better off going on the website instead as the only thong you can do with the app is take part in the chat room.

7. Will stick to the mobile website until the app is much better optimised.Pretty decent, a lot better than the mobile experience of the website.

8. Also there should be server's for different parts of the worlds, what's the point of asking about a certain college if the only people that will see it are people across the world.

9. Add these and it'd be 5 starsThis app is so bad that it is actually worse than the website, which defeats the point of having an app.

10. First, the UI is horribly clunky and feels bloated - cut it down to what it is like on the website.

11. Plus, this app lacks half the features that the website does.
