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.

Best app

Useful and reliable

Good for looking at what I need for school when I can’t look at my computer or when I’m not near one lets me look at my missed assignments or work quick and lets me see what I need to catch up on 10/01 app would recommend to use

Overall good.

This app helps me keep up to date with announcements and such however it will miss some assignments and deadlines and sometimes does inform you it’s overdue when it in fact is not. But a great too to check content and keep up to date with classroom announcements.

Horrible app and UI design

The purpose of an app is so I don’t need to be jumped to an external webpage or having the need to go to an external webpage. However, this app does not fulfill that purpose, it always jumps me to an external webpage, and when I view presentations in the app the formatting is weird, but when viewed on the brightspace webpage, it’s fine. Overall, this app is horrible.

Useful but…

The app is handy for a quick view of class info and assignments. My complaint and reason for 3 stars is that most activities are forwarded to your web browser instead of handled in the app, making it pretty much just full of web links instead of an actual app. Hopefully future updates make it a more robust and functional app so that it doesn’t require sending you outside of the app.

Limited functionality and outdated interface

Brightspace is easier to use than blackboard, but that is faint praise. Unfortunately, the users of of these products usually have no say in choosing them.

HORRIBLE. NON FUNCTIONAL. HOW IS THIS 5 STARS

This app is completely useleless. None of the features work properly. Nothing loads. Youre far better off logging in on your browser on your phone. Genuinely shocked the reviews are 5 stars.

What’s the point?

The app works for the most part but majority of the tabs that are available on the desktop version are not here. More than this I don’t understand the point of having an app for brightspace if every other things that I want to open in the app just redirects me to the webpage. I might as well just have the webpage on my phone instead of the app.

Bright space pulse

I use this app to see notifications, and classes I have but I have to open safari to get to the actual content. If it’s okay could the developers code a web app inside the app instead of redirecting to safari? Otherwise it’s a great app, just redundant to install if they redirect you to the website.
