Ratings and reviews

This is one of the worst apps I've ever used. I have to navigate to my classes twice, reset the thing multiple times, and it's a huge drain on your phone. I wouldn't mind the last part if the resources drained went into actually using the app, but buttons randomly stop working, it'll just refuse to let you upload or download. If it wasn't required for my clinicals, I wouldn't bother to use the mobile site whatsoever.

constantly logging you out, every single time I try to view my calendar" it's something went wrong" if I try to check my current module "something went wrong" if I try to even access a specific class in its entirety "something went wrong" absolutely atrocious app I recommend actually shooting yourself in the foot over voluntarily installing this.

The app is slow and laggy. It has this weird bug where you click on a course and then it goes white for a bit then refreshes to the main page. the second time you click on the course it works fine. Also, it crashed on me twice when taking a quiz. Luckily the quiz progress was automatically saved but it was still stressful. Uploading certain file types is unintuitive and large files take forever to upload even with fast WiFi speeds. Also some embedded links don't work.
