Okay so if this doesn’t work I’m contacting Support. I will say that the two times that I’ve had to contact Support in the past I’ve never had a problem not resolved quickly. ### 3/5 — Won’t open *2024-12-07, version 7.0.3* I have problems with this app opening to a black screen and never loading. I try restarting my phone and seeing if the app needs to update but nothing helps ### 2/5 — Battery drain and overheating *2024-04-05* I had no issues with the app functioning well up until this week. If I listen to a live chat my iPhone 15 begins to overheat and drain the battery excessively. The overheating is abnormal for this type of activity or with any type of media streaming. I opened the app today just to review my grades and some posts and it started to overheat again after a short while. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn't work then I will lose the convenience of the app since I won't be able to use it **Developer response:** We're sorry that you are having issues with the app. Please reach out to Tech Support who is available 24/7 to help with this issue. You can reach them at (847) 783-8937 ### 4/5 — Review *2024-03-26* I do most of my reading for my classes on the app. It has been very convenient for me and I’ve enjoyed using it. I also like that I’m able to access all my assignments, and live chats, as well as my resources and conveniently be able to message my academic advisor or professors through the app itself. The only problem I sometimes have is the app will glitch when I’m trying to review my notifications and then it closes out. It happens almost every time I open the app and select notifications. Other than that the app is very good and resourceful for me. ### 3/5 — Battery killer, kinda clunky. *2024-01-06* This app will drain my battery so fast. The content it’s self is okay. Writing a post is clunky. You can copy and paste from notes or somewhere else. The typing is better than it used to be, think early 2000’s texting. But holy smokes. The battery on my iPad can normally last a couple of days, while it’s being used by other apps. But on homework days, after four hours of use, my battery is down from 100 to 28. ### 2/5 — Seriously flawed *2023-10-03, version 6.1.0* I’m currently using this mobile app on my iphone 14 pro max. It heats my phone up to an insanely high temperature and it is the only app on my phone that does this. It’s worrisome considering how much I need to use the app. I hope something can be done about this or an update gets pushed to the app soon to mitigate this issue. ### 1/5 — App keeps freshening *2023-05-03, version 6.0.3* Have to keep restarting my phone to open app so frustrating ### 1/5 — Work ONLY half the time *2023-03-14, version 6.0.3* The app is awesome when it works however I have to constantly (at least once a week) delete the app from my phone and then upload it again. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2023-03-10, version 6.0.3* Half of the time App doesn't work ### 2/5 — Awesome app *2023-02-15, version 6.0.3* I feel that it needs to be updated for lastest ios iphone 14 pro Max the screen is a little off and bleeds in to the clock and have a hard time loggin in it stays in the rolling text before i see log in screen have to force close app a couple times. ### 2/5 — Works 1/2 of the time *2022-12-30, version 6.0.3* 100% successful log-ons with the web site. This app cycles through buffering endlessly. If I am lucky, it works. I feel like the app has gotten worse and will probably delete it. It is streamlined once inside the app. Devs need to fix the startup buffering issue! ### 1/5 — DONT DO IT *2022-12-28, version 6.0.3* These people trying to charge me money and I didn’t even attend the school that long and not only that I didn’t even learn nothing ### 3/5 — Awesome app *2022-12-05, version 6.0.3* I feel that it needs to be updated for ios 16 and iphone 14 pro Max the screen is a little off and bleeds in to the clock and have a hard time loggin in it stays in the rolling text before i see log in screen have to force close app a couple times. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2022-11-06* For over a week now, this app malfunctions on a WiFi network. I've tried restarting my phone and made sure the app was up to date, and I've tried six different locations with WiFi- all of my other apps work fine, but this thing stalls out every time. Once I get into the app, into my class, click on intellipath, and the page populates in my browser intellipath works fine, presumably because it's in my browser and not the app. ### 1/5 — Won’t work on iPad *2022-09-24, version 6.0.3* I’ve removed it and reloaded it twice on my iPad but it won’t open. I don’t what else to do. ### 4/5 — This app needs help *2022-03-12* I like this app when it works. I have it on my phone tablet and two pcs. The problem is that those inspirational sentences, that is on the opening, they have a tendency to repeat over and over. That’s why I have the mobile on so many devices, because sometimes what’s on one device might not be on another with luck. I don’t know how long you have to wait for it to straighten itself out, I just go on to another device, sometimes it helps to reopen the app,but that doesn’t always work. Good luck to anyone who knows how to make it stop. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out with your feedback and we are sorry that you are experiencing issues with the app. Can you please get in touch with Tech Support so that we can help identify and fix the issue you are having.

But I can login via desktop in safari with the same password. And god forbid you have to submit paperwork won’t let you do that either. Fix this it is awful. ### 1/5 — Bad review *2025-08-29, version 7.3.0* So much lagging and never helpful on the phone compare to opening from the laptop. Crazy how the school claims you can use the app on the phone to do all the assignments without needing of laptop ### 1/5 — My 💔 *2024-09-19, version 7.0.1* My phone is completely black screen when I try to open the app I can’t see anything I’ve deleted it and re installed and did recycled the whole process. It’s happened at the worst time my laptop broke. I can’t use the online portal. I’ve went though tech support 3 times they all say the same thing.. delete reinstall to no avail nothing seems to work someone HELLLLAAP ### 1/5 — Face ID no longer works after update! *2024-05-26, version 7.0.0* Please fix Face ID when opening app ### 1/5 — Constant crashes *2024-02-06, version 6.1.0* Everytime I check notifications the app crashes. The school heavily pushes use of this app and it doesn’t work. Do not bother installing it. ### 1/5 — Crashes with this app *2024-01-01, version 6.1.0* I’ve installed this app twice and each time while I’m doing an assignment the page blinks off. I’m done. ### 1/5 — One star for app and their I.T. “help” *2023-10-29* Colorado Technical University's application leaves much to be desired. The numerous glitches and bugs in the system make it a frustrating experience for students. One major issue is the inability to upload assignments, which is a fundamental aspect of online education. Even more frustrating is the IT department's inability to resolve these issues, leaving students feeling unsupported. Furthermore, the requirement to complete an APA paper and upload it via a mobile phone is simply impractical. APA papers often require precise formatting and referencing, which is challenging to achieve on a small screen. This requirement adds an unnecessary layer of complexity to the educational process. In summary, the glitch-ridden CTU application, along with the difficulties in uploading assignments and the impracticality of submitting APA papers via mobile, make it a less than ideal platform for online education. These issues warrant a critical reevaluation of their technological infrastructure and policies. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out and I am sorry for the issues you have been experiencing. While we provide the option to upload your submissions and papers via the mobile app, it is recommended that you complete these via the Virtual Campus rather than the mobile app. If you need more support, please reach out to mobile@coloradotech.edu so that we can work with you on this submission issue. ### 1/5 — The most annoying app I’ve ever used *2023-10-09, version 6.1.0* Too many bugs! Keep timing out! Takes forever to load. Takes forever for the notification window to pop up. This app belongs in the trash. Please update your app . School is already stressful ! The least of our worries should be an improperly working app! ### 1/5 — Can’t even do my work via app *2023-05-21* PLEASE fix the bugs on this app, for those with no vehicles and can’t connect to easy internet connection, and a laptop that needs to be fixed, the app is our best shot to do our work. There are soooo many bugs and glitches in the app, it’s insane. It used to be good but it’s completely horrible now. When the app scans my face to log in, it will scan my face twice which is really weird, then when clicking on my notifications tab, it takes like 10 seconds to literally pop up, for each notification I read and messages, it takes another 10 seconds to load, when I click delete all notifications or messages, it never deletes them. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and this is the worst school app ever. Please fix, this has been going on for months now. Thanks. ### 1/5 — It’s garbage *2023-05-18, version 6.0.3* It cuts off in the middle of important assignments, and I have to remove the app and start ALLLLLLLLLL over again. Now this time, it’s making me have to put in a password to download it again and it’s telling me that it’s wrong. So now I can’t get into school. I don’t remember when it started messing up, but you did a horrible job with fixing it!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — CTU mobile app *2025-12-28* I’ve been enrolled in CTU for about a year now and using the CTU Mobile app has made this experience wonderful. It’s very easy to navigate and it helps you keep up with your work and if you have to be on the go, the app makes it very convenient. and it helps you stay in touch with your instructors The app is simply amazing. It’s made my experience at CTU fun and easy to learn. ### 5/5 — Love CTU online *2025-10-27* I recently started my first course in the master’s program at CTU, and the mobile app has made the experience so much easier! It’s super smooth, fast, and well-organized. I can check assignments, join discussions, and view grades right from my phone without any issues. What I love most is how connected it makes me feel. My personal advisor reached out right away and has been amazing in guiding me through every step, from registration to understanding how online classes work. It honestly feels like someone is always there to help you stay on track and motivated. ### 5/5 — Home Bar *2022-06-29* Home Bar -Can you make the home bar configurable (home/degree/connect/financial/more) -I should be able to go to settings and shortcuts and set the home bar to what I want the bottom bar to be. ### 5/5 — The must app if you are a CTU student *2022-03-18* I love this app. The app needs a new Faces skin look and it also needs some of the pixels update. The some codes in web language needed updating and the video needs to more compatible to this app but for the most part the app is a must for CTU students. I also wish if someone that the editing tool need updating as well. Just for a suggestion maybe partner with Microsoft Team and see if there can be a icon for to click to write our class assignments and submit it our teachers. Last but less as much as we students pay for our education it the school could pay for learning Linklin to add to the app. We still have the best online University in the World. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Would you mind please providing more detail about your suggestions? We are very interested to learn more about how we can improve your experience with the app, please email us anytime at mobile@coloradotech.edu ### 5/5 — This App Was the Best Part of my Time at CTU *2022-02-09* I finished my bachelors and associates at CTU and used this app on daily basis to do my assignments, reach out to my instructor/counselor and keep track my of assignments. Financial information in the app is also very useful and helped keep me well informed of my financial responsibilities. Anything that you can do on the desktop is also available in the app. My experience with CTU was elevated because of the design of the app was extremely user friendly and done well. A small extra favorite thing of mine about the app was the student ID available at a tap away whenever I needed it (to get student prices at theater, stores and etc). **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're glad that the app helped you with your CTU experience. ### 5/5 — App support *2019-08-07, version 4.0.2* Oh my gosh. I don’t know what I would do without the CTU app . Everything is just a click away ### 5/5 — Love the Convenience! *2018-04-16* I love the convenience this app provides!! Although, my fingerprint entry was working perfectly for quite some time and then suddenly it doesn’t, even after a few troubleshooting measures. Having to enter such a long password every time I enter the app is a bit irritating, especially when I leave the app only for a few minutes. Another issue I am having is within the app itself, can you install an internal back button (or back and forward navigation in general) instead of just a done option at the bottom of the screen. This has caused me to restart several intellipath lessons. I greatly appreciate the app though, great feature of CTU!! **Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for the feedback and we're thrilled you love the app! We are aware of the fingerprint ID issues and are actively working to solve them, so thank you for your patience. We'll also look into the back button you suggested. If you have any other suggestions or feedback, please don't hesitate to send them to us at mobile@coloradotech.edu. We value your input! ### 5/5 — Glitches? not really! *2017-12-27* I love this app it’s super easy to understand and I’m able to get to certain things in a timely matter! I just wish you could access the live chat sessions on the iPhones quicker! That was a bit of a hassle! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, and we're thrilled you love the app! The Live Chats shouldn't be a hassle to access... could you send us a note at mobile@coloradotech.edu with details on what went wrong? We'd like to help you troubleshoot. ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2017-12-06* I would not be the student I am without this app! Keeping track of my homework assignments, due dates, grades, and feedback is great! I’m also able to check assignments easily! I love that I get a notification to my phone when I have an update in a class! **Developer response:** Hi there- thanks so much for the great review! We appreciate your feedback and would love to learn more specifics about your experience and what you love about CTU Mobile- it helps us build a better app for everyone. Send us a note at social@coloradotech.edu if you'd like to tell us more; we'll be happy to chat. Thanks! ### 5/5 — The best *2017-11-26, version 3.6.0* What can I say, best online university. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
