Ratings and reviews

Many features don't work at all depending on the institution using the platform (push notifications especially), and many features are badly implemented like daily/weekly summary via email, which will just dump all the text posts in a given specified timeframe into your inbox. Customization leaves a lot to be desired (just like the desktop) as simple things like notifications management is a multi step task.

Pretty decent mobile port, as long as you're an expert with the website, but I've gotta give one suggestion to the app that I wish so badly was a think. Of all of the push notifications you can turn on, there isn't one option that reminds you about an assignment when it's close to the set deadline. Why? They need to make this a thing... please.

It's a great app. There are annoying bugs though. Thousands of the same notifications are sent blowing my phone (and sometimes, these notifications are inaccurate). Moverover, there seems to be a problem sometimes on how the home pages of courses are displayed. Is there even someone fixing these? It's been there for a while now... Additionally, they could have added great features like notifying/warning me of an approaching unsubmitted assignment that I may have forgot. None of that in this app
