Ratings and reviews

The app is slow and laggy. It has this weird bug where you click on a course and then it goes white for a bit then refreshes to the main page. the second time you click on the course it works fine. Also, it crashed on me twice when taking a quiz. Luckily the quiz progress was automatically saved but it was still stressful. Uploading certain file types is unintuitive and large files take forever to upload even with fast WiFi speeds. Also some embedded links don't work.

terrible, glitches out all the time, im constantly having to cancel out of the app and go back in to upload any of my work, the redirecting to the home page every time you click a course is also very annoying, and this app has kicked me out 5 times during an exam which luckily did not submit my work after it kicked me out, overall just annoying and frustrating to use especially when you have a lot to do.

Canvas is a much better app to use than this blackboard app. It's very slow and doesn't have everything that is needed in order to successfully achieve the most basic action for your educational purposes. On canvas, you automatically stay logged in, it's faster and convenient to use for each course. You don't have to use the actual website on your computer because the canvas app let's you do everything while on the go. You can complete assignments, exams, attend actual online video lectures, etc
