Feedback

Dave Guttridge, The Photographic Unit

Feedback

Feedback from Students:

• “I wanted first to congratulate you on the idea for the IC app!

One suggestion: one very useful feature (from my point of view)

would be to be able to check one's timetable directly there.”

Philip Fol (Undergraduate – Natural Sciences)

App store / Market place customer reviews:

• Fantastic

by Ali HB Like it :-)

• Good stuff!

by Very useful app that gives you useful infos when you have no access to

your computer but only an iPhone in your hand!

• Smooth running, location tool is brilliant, saves me having to carry a map

with me wherever I go in order to get used to the campus.
