Ratings and reviews

So... This worked great. Solid, good UI, totally a 5-star app. Then I had the audacity to need it for courses at two schools at once. Instead of, say, keeping me logged in to both and letting me switch with a simple drop-down (like email apps and websites have for over 25 years) it instead logs me out of both after short periods of inactivity--say, the time it takes to read a section and take a short quiz on a publisher's app. 1-star for failing at basic credential management.

Edit: this is still going on for me. I am forever locked out of this app I guess. This problem has been going on since 2020 based on the instructor help page. You change your password the app logs you out and will NOT recognize the new password you changed on a laptop. If you click forgot password it takes you to a page where you do that "I'm not a robot" test and then.... freezes. A problem that's been had for 4 years that hasn't been fixed? Ridiculous.

The new, ugly To Do widget doesn't show MY current To Do list. It shows everything, not only what you have left to do. Edit: Even worse!! It clears anything from previous days even if you still need to do them!!!!!!! Also, the new bigger grades widget has a ridiculous size for someone with two courses. It used to be appropriately sized or you could expand. Now it goes too low for no reason leaving empty space.
