Ratings and reviews

[Edit] I can't download forms I need. Beyond replying to classmates & checking notifs, this app is just a reader.] The mobile browser version holds up better than this app. It has enough lag via loading time to make me feel impatient, while the mobile browser performs in a more optimized manner. Both desktop & mobile browsers don't load student's profile pictures, even on Firefox with no adblock. This app is fine for basic viewing, but I predict I'll be using the mobile browser more often.

Update November 2023: since the course room shift to Canvas the app is barely functional. I can no longer load course discussions and replies or read and type peer responses. This is a waste of an app. Keep crashing. When it works it is ok. It could absokutely interface more smoothly but for the last few weeks every time I do anything I get a program is not responding notice. Sometimes I can ignore it and love on but it happens after every single interaction with the app.

This app requires significant improvements to be representative of the university. It fails to distinguish Capella as an outstanding, mostly online, university. Students should be able to be proficient with their coursework with the aid of this software. Unfortunately, it is entirely ineffective at much of what is expected of a university classroom app. Please improve on the functionality so that it can be a gem in Capella's cap rather than a blemish.
