Buggy during class The slideshow stops midway during class, and I am not able to see the next slides after others have moved on. Using a Nexus 5x
Great Love this version of Blackboard. THE U.I. is smooth and easier to find where I need to go. Prefer BB Student app over BB Learn.... Thanks

"you're not enrolled on any courses" Utterly useless

Buggy at best While this is a large improvement from the old app, there are so many bugs that it's just plain useless to use. I will clear a notification and then it will continue to remind me of the same notifications over and over against for a week. Even if I've checked them on the app and/or desktop. Nothing works. It's super annoying. And then it's constantly going down with an error message that says it's on their side. That being said, when it does work it's easy to use, much easier than the other BB app.

Issues run throughout Overall does its job, but has several bugs in it, such as multiple notifications for the same update spread over several days. UI is unnecessaryly flashly chock full of useless animations that only waste time and CPU power.

Connection Repeated notifications about my connection when there is no problem, which requires me to re-enter my password. Annoying.

Blackboard Handy to have access to material on the move but needs to be much more optimised for mobile. Quite a lot of content is simply the web pages and so you constantly get warnings about it. Plus there aren't any notifications! What's the point of a mobile app without notifications of posts, announcements or marks?!
Want let me love in I just got the app and every time I try to log in I see it log on to the page on the browser but when it goes to the app it says license error
Gracias a esta app: Leo se sienta en la sala del mir. Saca la coca, la pone en la tabaquera anatomica, se mete una raya, grita TIVITDDCO y le da la vuelta al examen ante la mirada atonita de 200 personas
To many notifications I will get multiple notifications for the same thing, sometimes they come days after something was posted.
I get notifications over and over for the same thing. I also can't get my overall grade except for one class.
Way better than mobile learn UI is one of the coolest and most unique I've seen in any app.
Great So much better than mobile learn! It actually works. Would you believe it? The title of the app in the app drawer is actually bb, thank the devs it's not, "Learn" because when I want to check blackboard, I always think to look for something called learn instead of blackboard because that makes so much sense! Mobile learn is the most horrible app ever. This app is great!
Notifications Galore If I get one notification on the webpage, I get like 6 on my phone. I have notification that will not go away even after I check them. The app is buggy and needs to be updated. I will probably just log in through the internet browser. I do NOT recommend this app to students.
Too many notifications Every time anything gets changed in a Course it sends me a notification. My teacher decided to change the grade organization one day and it blew up my pocket while I was at work. I thought I had a family emergency or something. Bb Learn actually runs faster on both my phone & tablet and doesn't send unnecessary alerts. This also uses more battery than the old app.
Can't give ZERO stars? - SUCKS ASS!! It worked okay when I first installed it, helpful to access my course. Suddenly, it doesn't work anymore. It seems to navigate around okay, but keeps popping up a message, something like, "sorry... problem on our end..." ??? Everything is fine on "their end" when accessed directly through (ANY) web browser. The "Report An Issue" function allows you to enter a whole message, but it fails to send it (plus loses everything you wrote) so, you can't even report the issue! BOO! 👎 👎 👎 (Even after update!)
Not buggy for Note 4 The only problem I have with it is that there is an excessive amount of animations that are fairly unnecessary. I know it's supposed to be more contemporary and 'trendy', but it’s a bit overwhelming at times with the papers falling out of a folder every time you enter into a category.
Buggy and poor UX The app offers the expected features, but the UI adds too many "wobbly" animations and silly loading/error messages which slow down the experience. The app also crashes once in a while, and a single notification gets displayed many times for some reason. Please fix those issues, thank you.
So much worse than the old app Some of the worst ui design I've ever seen in an app. There are so many unnecessary animations tied to small actions; you can't click on a link without something wobbling or showing a folder opening up and papers falling out. The worst part is, the animations clearly take up a huge amount of resources, because the app will actually lag before they show, which makes the whole app feel clunky and slow. If they got rid of all of these things the app would at least feel useable.
Notifications Why do I get the same notifications 35 times in multiple groups even after dismissing the notifications and checking the blackboard app???
Do not Depend on this app app only give notifications will not work for you if you attempt to submit work or do anything other than read updates.
Doesn't work "ugh oh, are you connected?" Any time I try to view anything in the app
Complete trash!!! Don't waist your time. It would put two periods in between my user so it took me 5 minutes just to log in and once I get everything typed in it won't even take me to my courses. Tells me everytime that I have an invalid user or a ticket holder is incorrect. I keep getting 7 notifications at a time for one class over the same assignment. This is app is a waist of time and space. I'm deleting it right now.
Ok Notifications don't really work and the app has a poor UI/UX
Better than BB but bugs Connection issues even though I am connected to the Internet.
Not logging in I have entered all the details correct but says invalid id or password
I cant even log in When I type in my name is shows 2 periods in the middle instead of my name.
Like it alot Awesome. Does everything I need. No issues so far.
Great!!! Really well developed app and the user interface is very simple and easy to use. Love every detail of the app.
Useless This is a really bad app. I know for a fact that my university (University of the Free State) is using this app. I have used the mobile learn app before, but now neither one is working. BB student just says a shucks my school doesn't support BB student... But for some of my friends it's working, and others are having the same problem.
could be better if notifications gone crazy. I keep getting multiple notifications for the same grade posted. I keep thinking my instructor has graded my most recent submission, but it for the same assignment I already received a notice for earlier. So far today I have gotten 6 notifications for 2 graded assignments.
Unreliable Constantly tells me there is no network connection but continues to give me dozens of notifications, most of which are duplicated. Have only been able to use it two times so far without an issue.
