ETH & UZH mensa Zürich2.2.3

ETH & UZH mensa Zürich lets users view menus from mensas connected with ETH and UZH in Zürich. It presents these locations as a personalisable list, helping diners organise the places they may want to check before choosing where to eat. The app is aimed at ETH and UZH students, staff, and other visitors looking up dining options around the two institutions.

Users can reorder the mensas by sorting the list according to their preferences. They can mark selected entries as favourites for quicker recognition, or hide locations they do not want displayed. Sorting, favourites, and hiding work together so the visible list reflects each user’s habits and preferred locations.

The app runs on Android and is distributed as open-source software. Version 2.2.3 supports Android 8.0 or newer and provides builds for arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, and x86 devices. In the current patch, menu parsing for ETH mensas has been corrected; the preceding minor update also brought additional features and bug fixes.

After a menu request takes more than five seconds, a banner warns about a slow internet connection and lets the user cancel or continue waiting. A separate loading problem that could make the app stop while retrieving data has also been fixed. Because of API and architecture restrictions, the F-Droid edition currently cannot load menus from UZH mensas, so users need the GitHub version for those menus.
