Does not work

It’s keeps crashing please and thank you update it

Annoying app

NOT a joke review like almost everyone. Not only did it say something was disabled and "test can't be delivered." What does that even mean? Is this a pizza? But it also didn't even let me close the app afterwards. I gave up trying to get the test to start so I tried closing the app. A screen popped up and said I needed a password to exit even though there wasn't one and I couldn't even shut down the iPad so I could close the app. I found a way to hard restart but it took a while to find out how to do that and this app makes a huge deal out of me just wanting to exit the app. Atleast add the functionality of being able to power off the iPad. It works on pc though but my review is based on this app in particular. On pc it makes a huge deal out of me wanting to exit and says your teacher will know don't exit like I should worry about that? I bet my teacher wouldn't even care because I like exiting tests and coming back later and that shouldn't be a big deal.

Frequent errors

I use iPads to give quizzes in my class. It’s great that this app doesn’t constantly reload the quiz pages like some apps. But I get frequent errors saying that guided access needs to be disabled. Well, it IS disabled. Those iPads then lock up and have to be restarted. As an instructor it will not allow me to preview the quiz if lockdown browser is required so I cannot test the iPads. Plus trying to get to the lockdown browser screen on D2L May take up to 5 minutes of a spinning wheel.

A little frustrating...

These other reviews must be a joke..?
However the app is kind of annoying in the sense that the terms of use page takes a lifetime to load if at all. I have to use the app/browser for a class and would be okay if it was a more reliable application. Doesn’t work all of the time and if I had a choice I wouldn’t use this service until some of the bugs are worked out. Getting the application up and running takes more time than my assignment itself.
