Ratings and reviews

Every time I press the notifications button, it breaks and doesn't load. I have to close and reopen the app. Same thing can happen about 50% of the time by pressing the notification in my phone's bar. Everything else works decent, but I prefer the stability of the website.

The app is great at taking care of needs. However, there isn't a link to directly access the email, which would be convenient. The reason for the low rating is the lack of a "create event" option for assignments that are not directly in Brightspace (be they in another program or in-person). This feature did exist at one point and removing it proves to be majorly inconvenient.

Pulse is a great app if you're a college student who wants to stay up-to-date with your courses, assignments, etc! Pulse sends out daily reminders so that you're not missing any deadlines and will also alert you whenever your instructor uploads any new content so that you're always prepared heading into class. I love it and would highly recommend!
