Wisconsin App (Android) - Overview of the Wisconsin Application

The Wisconsin App for Android is currently unavailable on the Google Play Store. We are working through some issues with Google on the Android version of the app. There are no security or privacy concerns with the app. We do not know how soon we will be able to resolve the issue.

Existing users with the Wisconsin App installed on their Android device can continue using the app on their device. However, if you uninstall the app, you will not be able to reinstall it. Also, new users will not be able to install the app. The Apple iOS version of the Wisconsin App is not affected.

In the meantime, Android users who do not already have the Wisconsin App installed on their device may visit https://mobile.wisc.edu/links/ for mobile-friendly links to all of the various services in the Wisconsin App. Some popular requests:

• Campus Map — https://map.wisc.edu
• Bus Schedules — https://map.wisc.edu and click Menu then Bus tab
• Email — https://email.wisc.edu or use Outlook on your device
• MyUW — https://my.wisc.edu

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The Wisconsin App can be downloaded via the Android Play Store—just search for Wisconsin App under Apps.
