It does not work.

You can’t even log on.

It sucks

Dude the app sucks so bad. its so hard to navigate

Terrible app

Hard to use, not intuitive, forces me to turn my camera on for initial login even though they say there’s a way to do it without a camera. Its interface is not user friendly, hard to navigate and forces you to download all files instead of just opening in another tab which is extremely frustrating.

Edit: this app is just for taking pictures?? But I was directed to this app from my schools LMS thinking I could access it via an app. This system and “ecosystem” is so backwards.

Absolute garbage app from D2L

Wow, what a terrible app. The sign in flow is the worst I’ve seen in a long time, and then once you authenticated, all you get is the option to take photos and upload them as “evidence “. Let’s not even talk about the information architecture of this product, which there is none. It’s a shame that we have to use garbage software like this for public school.

Ugh 😑 😒

Absolutely HATE this app with a PASSION!! honestly google classroom, wayyyyyyyy better than this crappy app. Wish I could go back…. Anyways as you saw the average star rating you already know that you would know that this app is an absolute abomination 🤬😡 IF POSSIBLE STAY AWAY!!!! but if this an enforced rule that your stupid school district replaced this with instead of Google Classroom just know that you are struggling with this utterly ridiculous and useless transition, trust me your not alone😬😑🙁😤😫😪

Teacher unable to see any of my sons upload

Having hard time getting it to work

Makes no sense

When you add a video to one of your classes, it will not show how it is stored. Furthermore, it’s very difficult to keep track of where you put the video(s) or picture(s). From my perspective, it relies heavily on memorization. I would rate 1 star if I could.

Why on god’s green warts can you NOT put google drive things in the portfolio on this app????

Title says it all, it’s REALLLLY stupid that it’s missing such a basic feature

Bruh

Is there just swarms of people targeting me now that I say google classroom deserves all the hate, I’m prob offending crazy 3 yr olds who actually like the crappy app, If you don’t know what I mean, THEN CHECK HOW THE COMMUNITY SEES GOOGLE CLASSROOM IN THE REVIEWS, YOUL SEE REAL HATE THERE

Having issues with uploading

I’ve tried on multiple occasions to post and it doesn’t go through. My child has no work uploaded and it literally just said failed to upload 💀

why

app is slower than my balding

Stupid app

This app sucks it is so annoying and I want to punch someone it makes me so mad😡

Boo no me gusta

Luego falla con el internet no la descarguen

Newest 1.15.2 broken

The newest Jan 2022 release is broken. Take photos of work but it never uploads to D2L personal portfolio. Previous versions worked fine.

It sucks

I used my school email and it said it didn’t exist.

Doesn’t Work

The website version works but the app will not let me sign in. It says the server is not available. The school and teacher tried to help but there is no tech help or anyone to contact. Very disappointed!!!

The worst UI, so confusing

I hate this useless app. Why are you forcing me to use a qr code everytime i want to login in as if I have a piece of paper stapled to my body at all times. Can i even see the work in the portfolio? It isnt clear. Whats the difference between my device or family device? Possibly the worst app i have ever been forced to use.

Worst app I’ve ever used.

No really. Worst app EVER.
Nothing links to my child’s account. None of the messages or photos the teacher posts show up.
The website works great. The app is simply a pretty icon on my phone.
