Ratings and reviews

Mega frustrating having to log in each time I access the app. I might as well use the website! The inconvenience defeats the purpose of my downloading the app in the first place. It *was* nice knowing when I got feedback on assignments, but now? Forget it. Edit: The login problem seems to be fixed now. Edit (10/6/25): Once again encountering login issues. :/ 10/11/25: Still having issues accessing my classes. "Something's not right" is not a useful message.

constantly having issues. grades haven't been accessible and neither have due dates or the full calendar. So frustrating! And it always comes with red banner warning at the bottom of the screen stating that there is an error on your end. Get it together! --the above was posted in April '25. Editing to add: App is completely useless. Not sure why any college or university still uses BB. I haven't been able to access the app in months despite countless attempts.Crashes before it even lets me login

I have been using the app for a little over a year now. The app does not fit to the screen of my phone and for whatever reason, doesn't scroll. Consider this issue with discussion boards: I can see the left half of each post but cannot scroll to view the entire thing. What perplexes me the most is the inability to scroll. Beyond frustrating when I'm just trying to access the course and read.
