great news source 10/10, able to understand the campus environment for my child
I love staying up to date with Columbia and NYC news through spec’s site and social media, but this app just made it so much easier to do so. It’s very clean and easy to navigate. I also love the multimedia articles, podcasts, and the crosswords!!! Super fun. Great job to the designers and developers!
Really excited to see an app for Spec. I will be using it to catch up on daily news from our university. Great work from the Spec Engineering and Product teams. Thank you!
