Ratings and reviews

one of the worst management apps of all time. the app does not save your login, so you have to manually log in every time you open the app. this log in does not work with password managers, so you will have to manually enter your email and password every single time. even after you log in and enter the app, it does not immediately update any new class information, instead taking even more time. submitting assignments through the app also doesn't work half the time. this app is awful.

The android app is just miserable to use. content often fails to load, or loads incorrectly. frequent errors and crashing. the activity stream never updates. if I select a course by clicking a tile on the courses tab, it redirects to a list format of my courses and I have to select the one I wanted again. I have to log back in constantly, even if I opt to stay signed in.

It sucks a lot. Half the reason I downloaded the app was for convenience but its soooo clunky compared to the website. you have to log in every single time which takes like 2 minutes just to get on the app, it has a poor set up and is extremely hard to navigate, and I don't even get notifications about grades or announcements. Just use the website, having the app does nothing for you.
