Rubbish

Keeps on not letting me in so I can not do anything

If you are a district, DONT use this!

This app is very bad in pretty much every way. I’m saying this as a student, who experiences crashes and bugs daily. My peers and I, who normally are ok with doing schoolwork, are now struggling to keep up in the muddy sea that is this app. It has a very clunky design, and takes you back to 2014 when you get into it (it has very outdated software). Schools are always like “Kids should like going to school, what if we add some technology element”. I get it, I honestly really like technology, but this app isn’t the way to go. I would much prefer google classroom since it is more reliable and user-friendly.

It takes more than one try to even edit a discussion comment! I answered a discussion question, found that I needed to add 1 sentence, and then I get an error! Come on! Everything says “Sorry for the Inconvenience”, but sorry isn’t going to cut it for all of these school districts that are relying on your website.

All in all, please go for a better option like google classroom. This website is not worth the time and effort just for it to crash.

Can’t log in anymore

I get either error 104 or error 404 whenever I try to login. And even worse they force us to use the app, which doesn’t work

Not truly functional

This app is a piece of crap compared to the website. Once in a while it logs me out and I have to move heaven and earth to log back in again. It is RIDICULOUS. Nobody should have to open their bulky laptop everytime they want to check their grades for two minutes. Nobldy wants to spend half an hour re-logging back in every few months. I have no idea why the “Stay logged-in” function even exists if after a few months you are going to be logged out. I mean, come on, this app has ONE (point 6) stars. Its CLEAR no one is trying to improve it. Everybody just give it a bad rating and delete it so that MAYBE someone will notice. I was trying to respond to the discussion boards as my schools “attendance” during this quarantine. I was not able to because the app kept saying I am not connected to the internet (I have 3 bars LTE, so that was wrong) and would take 5 times as long to load everything. It would crash every time I wanted to see my grades for any class, and would not display new information posted that day. Already deleted the app. Unacceptable.

Utter garbage. DO NOT USE

This app and the website itself are terrible in terms of interaction and, well, pretty much everything. The website and app can not handle more than 20 people on it without the website running tremendously slow, thus causing problems with online classes, such as not being able to do assignments, turn in work, submitting answers, etc. Not to mention the headache of just looking at the website. If you are a teacher at a school, wondering if you should use this for your class, DO NOT. The interface is not user friendly, and is clustered with random things when in reality students will not spend much time on this website at all, if any. And when they do, they are only in maybe two tabs, the courses dashboard, and recent activity tab. You’d think it could do at least one thing right, like sending out notifications that your teachers have sent a message, or something along those lines. Nope. Often times it does not send notifications at all, causing confusion, and when it does, it tends to do it 5-10 minutes after the message was originally sent. All in all, if I worked at Apple and could remove this from the App Store, I would.

Wise

It so bad

Very bad

Takes too long to open. Shut it down

Very efficient

This app actually helps me so much especially when I do not have access to my computer to get on the website and when I need to submit a photo or video. I have noticed that a lot of kids are giving this app one star reviews so that it will be taken off the AppStore which will not even solve anything so I don’t know why they are doing that. They will still have to use the website for school work. And honestly it is just very inconsiderate because many other people including me find it very useful. It is so much easier to upload photos and videos to the app rather than the website because computer image quality is horrible and transferring a photo from my phone to my computer is a hassle. Kids need to stop doing this. It is a great app and really helpful.
