Consumes more than other video apps. ### 2/5 — Slow *2020-03-28* It takes forever to log you in and get to your classes. It’s way too slow. I barely use it now. Also it does not update with notifications until way later after the notification. It needs a lot of work. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback!

Please contact Student Support so that we can assist with your issues, which is shared directly with our developers. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Freezes Easily *2020-02-19* Good in general, but it’s super frustrating that it freezes easily. If you swipe out of the app for any reason, even for just a few moments, the touch functionality doesn’t work in the all anymore. You have to close out completely and reload the app. This is also true if you need to open up a separate document or link within the app itself... Essentially, it seems like most of the time you need to do anything other than watching videos or navigating the courses, it locks up the ability to touch things on the screen. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback!

Thank you. ### 3/5 — Intuitive but apparently no print/AirPrint function *2019-08-05* I’ve used this app for several terms. It’s fairly straight forward, intuitive, and reliable. The only suggestion I have for improvement is to add functionality of AirPrint/WiFi printing. It’s annoying to be traveling and to have to dig out the larger device to download to the hard drive and then print. Printing directly from the app would be more efficient. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback and for being a Mobile Campus user! We're happy to announce that AirPrint/Wifi printing is currently on our roadmap and scheduled to be released in the near future. We look forward to shipping this update. Please contact Student Support with any other questions. ### 1/5 — New App and web design *2019-07-23* Recently I found out that over 60% of my USC tuition going for 2U platform! Since than this app will have always one star from me until you make it work perfect. (You are taking a lot of money for it!) With new update you made one unnecessary step in the app and website. Course page is without current courses, than you click on “view all past course” that you get page that says current and past courses. Annoying ... **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback and for being a Mobile Campus user! We heard your feedback and are happy to announce that we're updating Course Navigation within our app in an upcoming release. Please reach out to Student Support with any other questions. ### 1/5 — Hate the set up *2019-07-13, version 2.3.5* The features are increased but the organization and set up are not user friendly at all. It is impossible to understand what is what for each week ### 3/5 — App Lags *2019-06-04, version 2.3* The app is sufficient for on-the-go studying and completing reading assignments. However, I’ve noticed a small lag with actions buttons and navigating to new pages. ### 1/5 — Unusable. Have to go back to laptop to finish lessons *2019-04-28* App gives an error when you try to submit short answer responses, so as a result, you are blocked from continuing that lesson. Also, when a lesson has multiple videos or follow up short answer questions, you can only view the first one in the app. It's not possible to move on. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for being a Mobile Campus user! This issue is resolved in the 2.2.5 release. If you continue to experience this issue, please reach out to Student Support with steps to reproduce, and device type and OS so that we may assist you further. ### 2/5 — Kind of disappointed *2019-03-21* App never really performed to my expectations but in the beginning I remained hopeful and excited about its potential. Then just two days ago, it completely stopped working all together. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for being a Mobile Campus user! If you continue to experience this issue, please reach out to Student Support with steps to reproduce, and device type and OS so that we may assist you further. ### 3/5 — Very glitchy *2019-03-05* Great app of online classwork but so many bugs. Every few lectures or so, the next lecture is missing the play button and the sliding scale to move forward or backward in the video. I have to exit and close the app to get the play button to work properly. Also, it would be nice to have an option for captions on the app version since you can do it on the online version. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for being a Mobile Campus user!

Sometimes modules are completely missing and sometimes display goes off screen. ### 1/5 — Latest update crashes playing downloaded content *2020-10-31* After the latest update, the app consistently crashes after 2-3 minutes of playing downloaded content. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues. We are actively working on investigating this case. Please contact Student Support with any other future questions or issues. Thank you for posting! ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-01-22, version 2.4.14* Logging in takes forever. Have to use the web app on mobile. ### 1/5 — Recent Mac update causing app to not load *2019-11-26* I’m an avid user of this app but it has completely stopped letting me login at all in the last week on my iPad. I depend on this app to access my coursework and now we’re in finals season. I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app twice now, nothing works. Help please!! **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues. Please contact Student Support and share as much information as you can. We will definitely investigate your case. Thank you for posting! ### 1/5 — Needs some work *2019-11-10* This is a great work to do schoolwork on but there are few things that need work until I can give this app 5 stars. The first is that the external resources have not been available since I downloaded this app; it’s been almost a year! This is really helpful but some reason my videos don’t load when I download them to be seen offline, completely useless if I can even use the function that it claims it can and should do! Make this better and I will give this app 5 stars. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We deeply respect your review, and we are actively working on improving our app and your experience. Please contact Student Support so that we can assist with your issues, which is shared with our developers.

Thank you. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2019-10-04, version 2.4.5* This app was great before UNC decided to update it and now my dashboard takes 20 mins to load on 500 Mbps download speed internet. ### 1/5 — Does the mobile application even work anymore *2019-10-03, version 2.4.5* Mobile application has yet to work this entire semester. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2019-08-08, version 2.3.7* This app doesn’t work well with my phone and is inconsistent. I stopped trying to do anything on it other than look at grades. Waste of time just like 2sn. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update ASAP *2025-01-11* This is an amazing, organized and fluid app. Plz update it! P.s. I’m going to need it for Spring term. ### 5/5 — MSW student *2020-06-10* Easy to navigate. Very short learning curve for anyone who might be using it for the first time. ### 5/5 — School Colors *2019-06-20* Love the app, but after recent update, I lost my school colors. Before it was orange for my school. Now it's blue. Will this be fixed? ### 5/5 — Mobile BU ROCKS! *2019-05-28* With such a busy life, this apps really comes in handy. It’s making managing my time regarding completing asynchronous assignments so much better! I love it! ### 4/5 — Missing a few small things *2022-12-05* Great app, works well but is missing two functions that I use a lot. Only thing holding back from 5 stars and from me using this app over the 2SU website. When viewing presentation, would like the ability to print slides like I can on the website. I use an iPad and like to print the pdfs to use in OneNote. Also a button near the transcript to copy it all to clipboard, instead of having to select all and copy manually. The way it is on the website. ### 4/5 — Some features not supported *2019-12-02* Wall posts on mobile do not update as quickly as on desktop, sometimes taking as long as 30 minutes. Additionally, the submission feature is not available on mobile, which is very inconvenient. Certain pages/tabs are not accessible or viewable, and this is a critical component of being able to complete homework. Clicking the "complete" button on assignments works only intermittently. I generally opt for the desktop version and only use the app when absolutely necessary. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues. Please contact Student Support and share as much information as you can. We will definitely investigate your case. Thank you for posting! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2019-09-27* I wish the app had the ability to cast the video lectures from my phone or tablet to my TV. ### 4/5 — Device responsive *2019-09-03* Please make the mobile platform (iPad and iPhone) capable of presenting all class material, videos, links and readings with same accessibility as the laptop version. B ### 4/5 — Downloads don’t work! *2019-02-17, version 2.1.1* Offline viewing breaks down a lot ### 3/5 — Functional but not brilliant *2021-02-03* It’s a functional student platform, relatively intuitive and easy to negotiate. I understand it takes a lot of our tuition to pay for it, which makes me think it should be better than merely functional. An option I wish was available for our units is an “all play” on the lectures. Instead I have to stop and download the next lecture every 15-20 minutes. Even if I hit download all, it doesn’t play when out of service area. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
