Ratings and reviews

It's usable, but it needs a bit of work. Duplicate notifications cannot be turned off, and after the recent updates, comments will not show up for assignments unless they're file submissions. Dark mode does not affect the actual document body of lessons. Marking a lesson as read and moving onto the next does not work. You have to mark it, refresh (sometimes several times) and THEN tap on the next page from Modules. Otherwise, the app works, I suppose.

Not bad, could use some improvements. Since this app is mostly used by online students, really need to add more features related to time zones to make sure due dates on assignments are clear. There are, in general, very few settings available to configure the app - I'm sure you can add many user preferences, especially related to notifications. Notifications often arrive late, after I have already seen them on the web client.

I use this for most of my course work and rely on it. However, there are a lot of bugs that need to be worked out. The To Do widget does not show the actual To Do list. Notifications do not always change to show they have been read. (I currently have several notifications that will not go away.) Some discussion comments always will not change to be read. Syllabi and embedded videos do not always work, same with some hyperlinks.
