Ratings and reviews

Used as a student for college, and this is by far the worst app I've had to use for my education. Unlike it's competitors, the mobile app doesn't allow for most of the functionality of the desktop experience, often having to redirect you to the mobile site that's equally flawed. Content (including urgent notifications) can take over an hour to produce a notification. I'm told the professor/teacher experience is somehow even worse.

Pulse makes it easy to view the assignments due for all of my classes each day in one spot. There are a lot of parts of classes (like grades) that can't be accessed on Pulse, but there is the option to open up the website from Pulse and really I have never found it to be an issue. The push notifications have also totally saved me from missing an assignment a handful of times!

Won't let me log in anymore. I can login fine on desktop but for the past semester and a half Pulse logged me out and my password/login info (which is correct) won't allow me to login. I am not sure what the problem is, but it is super inconvenient and I have no use for this app if it's not going to let me in. It used to work. Maybe it has to do with the additional authentication, because it won't let me get that far.
