Good on EWU for getting an app out. - The Good - For the most part, it looks nice. The interface on the main menu is clean and responsive. The app has /some/ useful points of information. - The Bad - Half of the menu options just take you to the website in your browser. The Canvas menu option should just open the app instead of just opening a link in your browser. I'm not sure what "Inbox" (or most of the other options, for that matter) is supposed to do inside of EagleSync. It doesn't pull from my eagles email. If it's supposed to be yet another message service, I'll stay far away from it. We already have our student emails, several other ways to communicate from EWU, let's not reinvent the wheel again. - The Ugly - If I could describe EagleSync in one word, it would be sketchy. It looks like it uses some old jQuery UI. Not to mention the utter lack of useful functionality. The sign in page isn't even styled. I hope it's at least secure, though I wouldn't be surprised from EWU's history if credentials were sent in plain text. - TLDR: Wait until the app is actually ready to be used. It feels like it's is half baked.

Thanks for your feedback. However, please don't base your review of this app on your dislike of EagleSync. That is a completely different system that we do not have any control over. We will, however, deliver your feedback to the EagleSync admins. The goal of this app is to connect you with the systems and info you need to be a success at EWU. :)
