Good product for mobile
This app has most of the functionality of the full student portal and similarly mimics that interface. It's a nicely designed app that's easy to navigate. I would recommend it to anyone attending DeVry who needs a mobile solution.
Changes needed
I have no problems logging in as others have mentioned. What I would like to see for this app is the ability to click on a post and have the other posts under it automatically open so they can be read on one screen, rather than having to go into each one individually. This takes a lot of time and backtracking to make your way through a long discussion thread.
The second thing I would like, is to be able to access the weekly lectures and assignments. Quizzes are also not available.
This could be a great and highly functional app if it worked more like the website.
All in all, when I don't have access to my computer to the website, I can at least make posts and view the discussions, albeit slowly.

Better
This seems to be a more stable version compared to the previous. The layout is also improved. I did run into a problem in the discussion section when trying to respond to a post. I can create a new thread fine but when I am trying to respond to an existing thread, tapping the respond box brings up the keyboard but the page goes to back to the main page.

The new update made this app great!
The app is awesome in my point of view. Finally the developers provide a quality app that is not just efficient but very helpful on the go. The interface is nice and every section is well placed on the app with fast transactions from section to section.
The app is simple but efficient. I would suggest the developers to add more sections on the app, to provide more information to the user.
Overall, great application.

Much better
Much better after the 2.5.5 update. The Go To Class module is much easier to use and follow and is much or organized. Good job on fixing that. The only issue I've come across is that the app won't let me stay logged in across the board. I would like to stay logged in to make accessing everything quicker.

Great! But...
I am so glad DeVry finally decided to update or create a new app. I have been waiting forever because I cannot post with the other one because of screen glitches and typing glitches. I like the new app, but I really like the original format for viewing the classes... Please just update the old app!

Has Potential, Needs Work
This app has the potential to replace the web interface, which is advantageous to us tablet users. Both Chrome and Safari have long standing issues which seem to be professionally neglected on the website. I installed this app in the hopes of finding another means of interacting with my classes. Alas, after using this app all I have is a new set of frustrations and the hope that progress is made.
I look forward to that undefined point in the future when there exists an actual tablet version of this app. All of the apps glorious potential is wasted in a 4 inch box that is literally not large enough to show my instructors grading comments. Surely the technology must exist to deliver into us the classroom experience in retina format where it will flourish in all of its glory.

Better but not there yet
I'm able to log in which I couldn't in the last version so that's a plus... It's still cluttered... This weeks active discussions should be the first thing you see when you open discussions but I have to scroll through last terms discussions before I get to anything relevant... Even if I select the right class I have to go through every week before I get to what's current... It's annoying. And it would be better to see your grades by the week rather than grades by term for old classes... Well at least it works, I think it'll be useful in the future. (Probably after I graduate)

Very convenient
The app is convenient while on the go to check simple things like grades, announcements, and reading discussions. But obviously it's not a replacement for the online shell seeing as you would need to put in more effort than you would be able to do on a phone.
Horrible
I don't understand how this app can be so horrible. The only use for classroom is the ability to post discussions. Even then, it has a poor structure that makes it extremely hard because it isn't outlined like the classroom discussion. It appears that they only made this app as fast as they could to get something mobile out. Try harder, put our money to better use than poor wages and cookie cutter discussions and tests.
