Battery drain and overheating

I had no issues with the app functioning well up until this week. If I listen to a live chat my iPhone 15 begins to overheat and drain the battery excessively. The overheating is abnormal for this type of activity or with any type of media streaming. I opened the app today just to review my grades and some posts and it started to overheat again after a short while.

I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn't work then I will lose the convenience of the app since I won't be able to use it

Review

I do most of my reading for my classes on the app. It has been very convenient for me and I’ve enjoyed using it. I also like that I’m able to access all my assignments, and live chats, as well as my resources and conveniently be able to message my academic advisor or professors through the app itself. The only problem I sometimes have is the app will glitch when I’m trying to review my notifications and then it closes out. It happens almost every time I open the app and select notifications. Other than that the app is very good and resourceful for me.

Battery killer, kinda clunky.

This app will drain my battery so fast. The content it’s self is okay. Writing a post is clunky. You can copy and paste from notes or somewhere else. The typing is better than it used to be, think early 2000’s texting. But holy smokes. The battery on my iPad can normally last a couple of days, while it’s being used by other apps. But on homework days, after four hours of use, my battery is down from 100 to 28.

One star for app and their I.T. “help”

Colorado Technical University's application leaves much to be desired. The numerous glitches and bugs in the system make it a frustrating experience for students. One major issue is the inability to upload assignments, which is a fundamental aspect of online education. Even more frustrating is the IT department's inability to resolve these issues, leaving students feeling unsupported.

Furthermore, the requirement to complete an APA paper and upload it via a mobile phone is simply impractical. APA papers often require precise formatting and referencing, which is challenging to achieve on a small screen. This requirement adds an unnecessary layer of complexity to the educational process.

In summary, the glitch-ridden CTU application, along with the difficulties in uploading assignments and the impracticality of submitting APA papers via mobile, make it a less than ideal platform for online education. These issues warrant a critical reevaluation of their technological infrastructure and policies.

Thank you for reaching out and I am sorry for the issues you have been experiencing. While we provide the option to upload your submissions and papers via the mobile app, it is recommended that you complete these via the Virtual Campus rather than the mobile app. If you need more support, please reach out to mobile@coloradotech.edu so that we can work with you on this submission issue.

Seriously flawed

I’m currently using this mobile app on my iphone 14 pro max. It heats my phone up to an insanely high temperature and it is the only app on my phone that does this. It’s worrisome considering how much I need to use the app. I hope something can be done about this or an update gets pushed to the app soon to mitigate this issue.

Can’t even do my work via app

PLEASE fix the bugs on this app, for those with no vehicles and can’t connect to easy internet connection, and a laptop that needs to be fixed, the app is our best shot to do our work. There are soooo many bugs and glitches in the app, it’s insane. It used to be good but it’s completely horrible now. When the app scans my face to log in, it will scan my face twice which is really weird, then when clicking on my notifications tab, it takes like 10 seconds to literally pop up, for each notification I read and messages, it takes another 10 seconds to load, when I click delete all notifications or messages, it never deletes them. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and this is the worst school app ever. Please fix, this has been going on for months now. Thanks.

Works 1/2 of the time

100% successful log-ons with the web site. This app cycles through buffering endlessly. If I am lucky, it works. I feel like the app has gotten worse and will probably delete it. It is streamlined once inside the app. Devs need to fix the startup buffering issue!

DONT DO IT

These people trying to charge me money and I didn’t even attend the school that long and not only that I didn’t even learn nothing

Awesome app

I feel that it needs to be updated for ios 16 and iphone 14 pro Max the screen is a little off and bleeds in to the clock and have a hard time loggin in it stays in the rolling text before i see log in screen have to force close app a couple times.

Needs an update

For over a week now, this app malfunctions on a WiFi network. I've tried restarting my phone and made sure the app was up to date, and I've tried six different locations with WiFi- all of my other apps work fine, but this thing stalls out every time.
Once I get into the app, into my class, click on intellipath, and the page populates in my browser intellipath works fine, presumably because it's in my browser and not the app.
