Ratings and reviews

it simply uses browsers to operate. I can do nothing else with my phone when listening to the lectures on this app. YouTube for example let you pause, or keep playing while you do other things. this 'app', forces you to restart the lecture if you have to use your phone for another reason. You can't print documents that are posted here. You cant save your spot in a lecture, or fast forward! This app is basic, and needs major upgrades to bring it to match the simplest features available.

Pulse is a very useful app for students. It helps organize classes week-by-week, making it easy to track what’s coming next. I really like the reminder feature—it notifies me about upcoming deadlines, so I never miss assignments. The interface is simple and easy to use, which makes managing coursework stress-free. Overall, a great tool for staying organized and on top of studies!

Horrible app to be honest. Has lots of glitches and issues, such as not being able to view content half of the time, and you always have to download files to view them (compared to the browser where you don't). It's also easier to view grades on the browser as well, it's almost like they want you to use the browser. Only thing it's good for is notifications (which you could set up through emails anyways). So to save yourself the trouble, make an app shortcut for the browser, don't install this
