Optimize your app. Courses used to be shown immediately after opening the app, but after the update it takes forever to load before I can even click on a course. When I need to check on an announcement quickly, something that would've taken seconds now takes a few minutes. This is on android. I hope this issue can be fixed.

Please fix the assignment portion in the app because when I enter an assignment or discussion, I usually get the answer "there was a problem loading this assignment. Please check your internet connection and try again.", even though I got stable connection. Some announcement also do not appear in the app. Everything works well with the one for the browser, but the app is has alot of errors.

The app is good, but I can't receive notifications about the recent assignments or activities posted by my teachers. I checked the settings and look for notifications, and there I saw the 'push notification'. When i tapped it, it load for awhile, but suddenly stopped saying 'notifications are not registered for this device.' I hope you can fix this. By the way, I am an android user. Thank you!
