make the swipe to reveal grade feature optional

Is an unnecesary step, If I open your notification is because I want to see my grade, why make me waste time swiping?

Doesn’t Work

The app is advertised as working with Kaplan UK, but attempting to log in leaves you stuck in the login portal with no way to return to the app.

Uncompleted Tasks

It is difficult to navigate through to uncompleted tasks.

Clunky and unhelpful

Unfortunately this app does a poor job of displaying the actual content of a Brightspace site. It is fine for menu navigation, but the actual substantive information is partially hidden and/or inaccurately rendered. Overall, a weak effort.

Doesn’t work

This app used to be clutch my first semester of college and then it just working out of no where after that first semester 2025-2026 and now I’m a sophomore and it still doesn’t work like fix this app so I can keep up with my work

I hate this app

As a student this shihhh is awful, cause work

Updates to website suck

The updates to the website make it virtually impossible to view a pdf within the website and requires to open in separate tab or make full screen. stupid. There is also no web support or chat to reach out to, lame. I would give a 0 if i could

A web application with the thin mask of a mobile app.

To do well much of what you want to do, you have to launch the course homepage on a browser, which is very poorly adapted to mobile devices. I’ve gotten to the point where if I have to use bright space on my phone, the first thing I do after opening this app is launch the website, because it’s at least more useful despite being poorly adapted. Just use a laptop at this point.

Pulse

Wonderful you can take it with you on your phone so then when you need to get things done and you’re not at home you can

Very limited features.

A lot to improve. General Compatibility sucks. Most of the modules redirected to mobile web

No option to view all courses

Pretty good functionality, but it never ceases to irk me that when I am in a course’s page, there is no way to return to view all of my courses without hitting the small back button 1-5 times. There’s a dedicated courses button that for some reason only shows up when you’re already viewing all of your courses! Madness

Love it

Great app keeps me up to dates on all of my assignments

Great Since Redesign But…

Why isn’t there an iPhone widget? I use the iPad widget, and this seems like a bizarre oversight.

11/10 definitely recommend to download!!

This has been a game changer, I am able to keep track of my classes and check grades whenever and wherever!!!

Functional enough

The app has improved throughly from last year, but it could improve in functionality by working faster and lagging less.

WHAT A AMAZING APP!!!!

I could access my classes so easily. Sometimes it’s complicated for me but it’s still an amazing app. Ty devs for creating this app.

Keeps me on track

Love honesty, it does the trick

Very organized

You just need to do exactly as the instructions say then it won’t be as difficult.

Nice app!👍

Very good app!

Lacking Features

The amount of features missing in the app compared to when you use the website is staggering. Which makes the app basically worthless as it’s lacking the most basic things.

Also, whenever you open an attachment it opens inside your browser completely defeating the purpose of using an app.
