Good app. I appreciate the UI. Though some flaws. Takes forever or never loads the comments on assignments through submission. And it's still not possible for me to view groups, then join nor leave them - I always had to log on through a browser to do so. Can it also be possible to see when assignments closes completely, and not only it's set due date?

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.

Please update and modify your notification system... First off it doesn't send notifications out on Android (both in app and device settings are turned on.... Still nothing) and you cannot modify what notifications send out when... This is a school app, I would love if I could have it send me a notification for example 3 days before an assignment is due or something like that.
