Ratings and reviews

Works better on the computer. Sometimes with the app, the calendar won't load at all, it's just a blank page. I'll close and restart and it continues. I checked for updates, there aren't any. Honestly, too, I think developing a notification system would be a good idea, notifying students when assignments are added or due. EDIT: This review is over a year old and the calendar issue is still a regular thing.

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.

The app is good. I have a suggestion for a huge improvement. I want to be able to set the time zone in app rather than it automatically update. Reason: I go to online school in a different zone. My assignments look like they have a due date of calendar date "X" and since I'm 2 hours ahead, it's really calendar date "x-1" and if I don't catch it I only have a couple hours to do any work.
