Way better!

Thanks for the upgrade. The entire display of is 100% better. Everything is much easier to navigate and I truly appreciate the added content - it's almost like a mini version of the desktop.

Thank you Devry

This was a long time coming. It is 10x more functional than it was before. Not to mention, it now looks great on a 6+ screen. Much more responsive, discussions are way easier to navigate.

This needs more work and support

So you would think that a school that offers degrees in CIS and a whole boat-load of programming/electronics classes would be able to make a decent app. The app itself has tons of potential but somewhere along the line I think they stopped caring. There is no support at all for this app, and it took me two hours of playing around with it to finally figure out how to post in discussions. So far this is the only thing I like about this app. You can't even access your school e-mail in it. Right now it's been 8 months since I've enrolled and I still can't check my school e-mail in any other place beside The Devry portal. The instructions for linking it your phone looks outdated. From searching other forums it looks like the last time someone was able to link it successfully was in 2013. I like the school and I like the classes but seriously they need to improve their standards for keeping everything up to date. It's a tech school for goodness sakes and so far I am not impressed with the lack of care.

Beautiful.... When it works

When I first downloaded the app it worked wonderfully for 2 terms but now I have no clue what's going on. It's really frustrating because this app provided a simplified way to post to DBs while on the go. Sad that I'm attending this university for IT & they can't even get their app to perform optimally👎

Latest update doesn't work

I'm no computer wiz but I think in anything that anyone produces, they would complete or perform multiple test runs before they put it out on the market. Someone fell asleep and didn't do their basic checks and balances after putting in whatever work they did in this app. Makes them and their colleagues look incompetent. I'm just giving you guys a hard time. But seriously please fix your latest update. I can't go past the log in page. I have allowed it ample time to load, I have deleted and reinstalled but I still have the same issue. In detail when I press the upper left corner of the app to get a list of options, it is blank. No list just blank. Also when I close it, the screen goes from a left blank row to a right blank row. If that makes any sense. Good luck.

Horrible Developers

As a computer information systems major at DeVry I am appalled by the incompetent developers DeVry has. We are a University that revolves around technology but yet we have horrible websites/applications. This idea of this application is GENIUS if it was implemented correctly and the application made sense. Everything is all over the place. Nothing makes sense, random buttons will take you to random places. You have to click like 7 different buttons to find the weeks lecture. I would use this application every single day if the GUI was better. Sadly I'll be out of DeVry within the next 4 months and doubt I'll be able to see the success I'm sure this application will have once a competent & innovative developer is at the head of the development for this application.

Horrible with iPhone 6

I installed iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 and had no problems. No you could not use the Dropbox feature, but you could add to discussions, view assignments, grades, etc. However, since I upgraded to the iPhone 6 last week, I have not been able to view discussions or grades through the app. I contacted supported twice and they advised me to use a desktop computer...really?? The reason for having the app is not to replace the desktop, but to make use of time when I'm on the go. With the amount of Technical degrees offered by Devry, I would definitely expect better!

Hard work made harder

I go to Devry as a freshman, and when I saw this app I assumed that it would allow me to get my work done on breaks at work or in long car rides... It doesn't. IMO, there are only 2 useful features in this app; the grades section, and the discussion section. There is no drop box, and since the so many of the classes have work assignments that are on other websites little progress can be made in the way of homework. Even the textbooks aren't available through it so it is useless as a study tool. Even the discussions section becomes useless when someone posts a large amount of lines, requiring careful scrolling as to not lose ones place.

Bottom line:
This app is about as useful as most free Zappa are going to be.

Finally an app

I have been waiting for an app for devry and I have even paid for an app that was really a waste of money! Thanks so much for making this app as it is really essential in keeping up with classes!

definition of insanity? try logging in & you'll see

the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over again & expecting different results. i had hoped this app would work, but considering the other one I tried didn't, I shouldn't have expected something different. Logging in for me is impossible. I've tried everything. i give up. this is ridiculous. please fix it...and the website, if you get around to it. it would add a little credibility to the school/site.
