### 1/5 — Unable to reply

*2021-09-21, version 2021.04.1310*

Not sure if it’s because I’m using the iPhone application but I cannot reply back to my posts. Didn’t have this issue on my previous phone ( Android) unable to see my assignments

### 1/5 — Annoying to use

*2019-01-23, version 5.3.27*

I always have to log back in every time I use this app.. I don’t understand why it can’t just keep you logged in just like every other app (ie facebook, YouTube, tumblr, etc).. in the past it wasn’t like this, idk when this change happened

### 1/5 — Disappointment.

*2018-08-19, version 5.2.91*

Never have I used such a poorly made app. I don’t usually leave reviews on things but this app operates as if a toddler programmed it. Embarrassing.

### 1/5 — Latest update v3.2.2 worthless

*2015-12-23, version 3.2.2*

I have an iPhone 5s using iOS 9.2 and after the latest update the icons on the main menu are unorganized and the icon text labels are garbled. Looks like there are text overlays. I hope this is fixed before the next semester starts in Jan. 2016.

### 2/5 — No Due dates available to put in your calendar

*2020-08-25, version 2020.08.2400*

I love using this app because it’s easier to navigate things, but how come for any of the many classes I have taken here as a harper student none of them ever had the homework assignments linked to this app but all the homework was on the blackboard app. Isn’t it supposed to be on here since this app is basically the website in an app? I would like to be able to see what homework assignments I have coming up next instead of waiting for blackboard to do it or having to sit there and put it in on my calendar one by one just to have a reminder that it’ll be due!

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2019-08-19, version 5.3.45*

Directory feeds to a 404, and other features barely work. This app is highly unpolished and should’ve been tested more.

### 2/5 — 💯💯💯

*2014-08-22, version 3.1.1*

Trapping

### 2/5 — Please add a "remember me" button

*2013-09-19, version 3.0*

Add iOS 7 compatibility. I hate putting my username and password every time I open the app to see my schedule and other things.

### 3/5 — So far so good

*2024-04-23, version 2024.04.0200*

Could use a little fine tuning when it comes to accessing class data accessibility

### 3/5 — could be better

*2020-01-05, version 2019.11.1100*

pretty good for the most part, better since the new update but the announcements lag & it’s a little hard to navigate

*2025-05-31, version 2024.04.0200*

Ain’t experienced any probs so far. Everything runs smoothly; no hitches at all, anything you might need is included into the app. More or less user friendly as well. Could be simplified just a little bit maybe. Other than that perfect!

### 5/5 — Completa

*2023-10-17, version 2023.08.2800*
