Ratings and reviews

How this app has 4.6 stars is beyond me. To-do list is messed up. Sometimes the syllabus button links to the syllabus, sometimes it links to modules. A lot of this can be chalked up to professor issues though. I didn't have an issue last semester. What I can't get past though? REMOVING THE OPTION TO SCAN. Now I have to use another app to make a pdf and upload it manually.

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.

I'm having a new issue after the update. when I tried to play a video that has an external link it says error has occurred. So instead I try turning my phone so I can see the video on the whole screen but it keeps going to video three of one. even though I'm playing 1. so I hear video one still playing while my view is a play option of the last lesson. it's all of my classes.
