Disappointed in this app.
This app is one of the worst school based apps I have ever experienced. As a student, I dread logging on to this website everyday. First of all, this app is poorly organized. I can never find any of my work though all of the folders you provide. Even my teachers have told me they hated the program and can’t put in grades. Specifically, I can never find my assignments, or attach anything. It can be very frustrating when you still can’t find anything after 3 quarters of school. I still can’t get my way around Schoology. Secondly, your app always has technical difficulties. For example, I can never see my grades. When I look through them, an asterisk comes up. Imagine waiting weeks for your grade to come up. I am always so frustrated and it makes school so much harder. This is unacceptable. Third of all, the app is always down. I can never get my assignments done in time because I can’t even get onto Schoology. Theses three problems are just a few of all of the flaws you have. Major improvements need to be added onto Schoology. I have never encountered an app through school as poorly as this one.

Good app, but a few bugs
The website of Schoology is very good. It is useful for school, especially during coronavirus quarantine because we have to learn from home. However, the app is not as good as the website. When I check the notifications, it doesn’t show me the new ones. Even after refreshing, it still just shows the old notifications. Then, after it finally shows me the new ones, the “notifications” section still has a red dot on it. (Even after the most recent update) When I close the app, it still says that there are a bunch of notifications. I also have trouble accessing links sometimes. Also, when a link actually works, the website it goes to always shows up in a pop-up. It never shows up in an actual browser. Another problem is that it takes forever to upload a video, which is a problem when I’m trying to submit a recorded project.
A summary of my review: The website is great, but the app needs some bug fixes.
Edit: Most of the links work, but there are still a few that don’t work. I’m still having problems with the notifications. When I checked the app this morning, it said that I had over 50 notifications. I did the same things: open notifications, refresh, go back to home page, refresh, go back to notifications, refresh. I repeated this process several times and I think I refreshed the page about 10 times, but there were still 50. I had to restart my iPad and then refresh 3 more times to get rid of that 50. There is still 1.

Slow and glitchy
Never loads in my phone and if it loads it says that my password isn’t valid!!
Terrible app I hate it!
Terrible app I hate it it is so laggy and won’t let me see my classes also why is there inappropriate adds!!!!
point of view from a student
Everyday I go to log into my schoology account it takes me a good ten minutes to load, and then I have to wait for the home screen to load, and after that I have to wait for my class to load so. A good 30 minutes later i'm finally able to start my first assignment of the day, I have around 8-10 assignments every day so waiting 30 minutes for a screen to load isn’t necessarily efficient. Not to mention but our education system put all of our work on this terrible app that glitches out, un-submits half of my assignments, glitches me out of tests and then I'm not able to get back into them. Schoology is the reason i'm doing so bad over distance learning, all of the teachers just think I flunked the test and want to retake it when I email them all because this terrible app keeps glitching. The saddest part about this review is that I put everything very lightly, this app is actually so bad I'm having trouble putting it into words. Also i just want to add after reading other people’s reviews I don't want schoology to get taken down but my experience with this app is very bad but that’s just my experience and you might have a better one than me!

Garbage of an “app”
This “app” has some of the most bugs I’ve ever experienced and to get schoolwork turned in is even a question. I’m a student in Texas and we use this dumb app for school especially right now during coronavirus and it doesn’t know wether I turned it an assignment in or not. I will click submit and it won’t even submit it even after it says that it has been submitted so I end up redoing the entire assignment and getting stupid zeros in the grade book because they can’t even submit a dumb assignment. And another thing, there is a toolbar at the side with three lines and every time I scroll DOWN (not to the SIDE) on an assigned that thing pulls up and takes over the whole screen so I have to go all the way back to the assignment because there is no way to go from that toolbar thing back to the assignment. Simple bug fixes people. I’m not sorry to say that you should tell your teachers to get some other app that has some kind of simple bug fix and also tell them not to get this app if I haven’t said that already.

FABULOUS
Before I used this app, I just used the school link to get to the website. My Safari wasn’t working to get to Schoology via my school website, so I had the idea to get the app. I’ve only had it for a few minutes, but it’s amazing! It’s so easy to get to everything and it’s very clear. Thank you!
Bad
This is just a bad app glitchy and just horrible
