Freezing—needs an update

It was working for months and now freezes every time on the opening page. I deleted and re-downloaded as well. It isn’t working.

Needs fixing

When trying to open the app, it just stays on the purple home screen and won’t let me log in. The only reason I still keep it downloaded is because I like seeing when my assignments are graded, but that bug needs to be fixed.

not working again

I redownloaded it so I get the message to update it, and when I click on it it goes back to the update message and so forth… very frustrating. Hasn’t worked all week.

Frustrated

I installed the app and it was working and about three weeks after I installed it, it won’t even load anymore no matter if I uninstall it and reinstall it nothing seems to be working with the app.

App Issues

Great app to access class on the go, however there are times the App won’t even open. Even after restarting the phone and logging out and back in. This should be looked into.

11 month gap update

I know that there’s a lot of updates pending currently with the Halo Learn system online, but I see that the Halo Learn app doesn’t really get as much support or attention to update buggy issues it currently has. Having to re-download and sign in just for the application to work and show classes is a handful and annoying. The app is great send notifications which is what I normally use this app for now because there’s no way to use the application without it crashing or not even loading anything at all.

Extra Steps

The App is literally just a middle man between you and the internet page.
App just opens up the safari page.

Useless

App sends notifications but doesn’t open so you can see anything. I still have to log into my computer🤦🏽‍♀️

It needs to be fixed

Like the title says it needs to be fixed, I’ve had to uninstall and redownload it just to get off the greeting page, there has to be a bug or something or it’s simply not working. Either way it needs to be fixed because as good as it is to check grades and message classmates on the go if it doesn’t even load it’s not worth downloading.

Halo app GCU

As soon as I downloaded the app, I can’t open it. It just stays on the purple frozen screen doesn’t let me login or anything.

Doesn’t work

The app worked when I first downloaded it but has not worked at all ever since.

Recent Issues

I had been enjoying the app until a few days ago. It won’t load past the purple screen. I love it because I get notifications when the professor posts, grades posted, and I can also reply to classmates. Please fix the bug! I just uninstalled and reinstalling hopefully just works. #fingerscrossed

Please Fix App

The app worked for a couple of weeks, but now it won’t load when I open the app. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it hoping it would fix the issue but it is still the same. Please fix!

Does not open

A year ago when I first started with GCU this was a blessing to have. Now that I try to use it, it just stays frozen and never opens. It’s frustrating because I used to use this religiously for my homework when I was on the go and couldn’t bring a clunky laptop. Please fix whatever is causing this issue. It worked temporarily when I deleted the app and reinstalled it but then it stopped.

Fine, when it works

I find myself having to frequently delete and redownload the app, lest I become trapped on the Purple Logo Screen of Eternity.
Otherwise, the functionality is clunky but you can respond to last-minute discussion posts as necessary, send messages, and view grades.

Useless

This app seems pretty useless. It’s nothing like canvas or other school applications. It’s just an app that launches your internet browser for you to your schools website instead of you typing it in manually. Nothing helpful

App won’t launch

The app wont launch. I get notifications about grades being posted or messages but that’s it.

Useless

I receive notifications from the app, tap on them, and am stuck on the same purple loading screen. I am unable to access anything school-related and inevitably just end up logging in using Safari. super frustrating.

A waste

This app has zero usefulness. It still routes you to safari to actually use/view your canvas, I receive no notifications of any kind!

Inconsistent

Some days the app works fine and then it doesn’t for months. I get notifications for graded assignments and announcements but the actual app won’t open. I have to log into my account via safari and it’s just inconvenient. Not to mention the lack of notifications for what really matters (assignment and dq reminders/due dates). GCU has way too many resources and individuals who are great in tech to be allowing this app to plummet. Great idea but not maintained and updated.
