App Issues
The app was working fine before and I used it often….but now eveytime I try to use the app, my screen goes completely black. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling but that didn’t work….

Black screen?
I’ve added three classes to my classes tab and when I go to click and view my classes the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I’ve shut off my phone and turned it back on, I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app. No matter what I try the black screen still appears when I try and access my classes. Otherwise a great app with a convenient and organized set up. I just paid for the year subscription so I’m disappointed I won’t be able to use it.

Feature request
It would be nice to add files like doc, markdown files, and pdfs to be added when I am adding an assignment.
Its good but could be better
The app is good but I think it could be better if you guys could add widgets to make sure how many assignments you have to
Its good
The app is good it gives me reminders a day earlier that i have homework but i think it could use widgets for iPhone
It’s good but not good
The app is really good and nice to use but I cant even do anything, everything is behind a paywall the only thing I can do for free is make classes and I can’t even do anything with the classes for free. At this point just make the app pay to use it’s not possible to use without paying money
The perfect app for University students
I have been using this app for nearly over a year now and honestly it’s the best tracking up I have used. It has helped me keep up with all my uni assignments and quizzes especially with the reminder feature. The app is so easy to use, I can set all my assignments for different classes which is easy to differentiate. Compared to the other apps I have used this one has given me the best outcome in terms of keeping track of my assignments.

It’s a complicated app to use
I signed in and the first thing I did was create my math routine but after you finish the first class it doesn’t show you where to go to add a new on and I noticed that the app has many features but no tutorial on how to use most of them. I need an app that is easy to use and is efficient because of my busy schedule. I also noticed that when you add an alarm it doesn’t show on the calendar which is the first thing you see when you open the app. I have only had the app for a day and already feel overwhelmed with how complicated it is to add a class and notification. I understand that this app may work for some people but if your looking for an app that is easy to use and understand this app is not something I recommend

Just needs a few more features
This is a good app. But being unable to duplicate and delete assignments individually makes it practically unusable for me. If I have math assignments on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week but my professor gets sick and changes the due dates to Monday I can’t just select one assignment and change the date.
If I am assigned multiple of the same thing. I can’t just duplicate the assignment instead having to type everything back down individually.

great so far
Apple watch support would be amazing!
Just a few bugs
Absolutely love this app, been using it for a uear now and just recently when i add in new assignments my other assignments get copied? I have to exit the app for it to look ok again (for example when i have hw#1 and hw#2 due monday, and i add a new hw#3 for tuesday, my monday due date ends up having 2 hw#1s)

Major Issue—Past Assignments Disappear
I’ve had this app for about a month now and was loving it to keep track of my homework. But tonight, I accidentally clicked remove all on all my overdue assignments, and it made them disappear. Now this was an unfortunate mistake on my part, but the issue lies in how when I went to check on my previous assignments from throughout September, I realized everything I put in was gone. The tabs that are supposed to contain “completed” assignments—as I’d been marking them—were empty. I tested it out to check. I made a new test assignment, made it overdue, then hit complete. It disappeared, and did not reappear in the complete section. I’m extremely frustrated because now I have no log of what I’ve done this past month, and I’m not sure what I have left to complete of that stuff that I needed to look back on. Therefore, I would not recommend this app any longer.

Hi! We are very sorry that this happened. We worked hard and have squashed this annoying bug. Completed assignments will no longer delete when overdue. We hope that you will give Backpack another try as we have added many new features that have made Backpack incredibly useful. Thank you for your feedback! - Nick
Issue with the notifications/reminders
This app is very helpful but it’s not giving my notifications of when I set the reminder for that assignment. I don’t know if that’s just my phone or not.

Hi! Thank you for the valuable feedback. Can you please send an email to backpack.homework.tracker@gmail.com so we can troubleshoot your concerns?
Comparability
While this app is incredibly useful, I feel as though this type of app would work best if you could sync it with a laptop or computer. It is still very cute and easy to use regardless.
thank youuu
i just downloaded this app, and i can just tell it’s going to go ABOVE my expectations!!! (which are pretty high!) thank you for making this app, it’s going to be a huge help!!!!
Great design
Love it! Very simple but helpful. Kept me very organized. Love the option to change colors.
Loved the all
Pro tip turn notifications on it truly helps a lot
Amazing
Such a great app! it’s an app i never knew i needed till i downloaded it! you can set up multiple remind times to help you remind, organize classes and assignments with aesthetically pleasing colors! and it’s really easy to cross off that you got that assignment done!
Just downloaded, already love it!!
i’ve been searching for an app to help me organize my school work for a few weeks now and this is the best one i’ve found! it’s a pretty app, with a nice and efficient layout and it functions perfectly. i was also wanting an app that had a good variety in color options for classes, and this app has beautiful cool tone colors to choose from! i love it, good work on the app.
