### 2/5 — Could be an excellent app, if it wasn’t incredibly slow!

*2025-10-27*

PLEASE fix whatever is causing this app to hang for literal minutes loading course content! I find myself going to LMS in the browser instead because it’s faster.
Once the content’s actually loaded it’s a great app! Great functionality & looks good, mobile notifications work well.

### 2/5 — So slow!!!

*2025-03-21*

This app makes uni on the go great , however the latest version is that slow it’s not usable!!

### 2/5 — New update made it slow

*2025-03-05*

The newest update has made this app so slow that it’s almost unusable

### 2/5 — Just use your browser

*2025-02-11*

If you are actually able to get logged in, the app functions enough to view some assignments, grades, etc. However, it’s incredibly glitchy and updates only seem to make it function worse. Logging in on your browser provides a much better experience than using this app. Trust the low ratings — this app isn’t worth your time.

### 2/5 — i’d like to log on please

*2024-01-07*

this app is great! when it works. which is never.

### 1/5 — Don’t update

*2022-12-12*

I prefer the old update, as I use to be able to upload my HW through the app. But now I have to go though a lot more and I can’t see see my courses anymore. This current update is terrible, wish I could revert back to old update.

**Developer response:** We are sorry you are not enjoying this version of the app. Can you give us a bit more information about your courses not displaying. Are they not loading or not displaying in your app to select?

### 1/5 — It stopped working

*2022-11-30*

It’s been working for me since i removed the moodle app and replaced it with this app in the summer time. Now it stopped opening my classes and will not stop loading.

**Developer response:** We are sorry you are having problems with the app. Can you confirm you are using the most updated iOS and app version?

### 1/5 — Won’t Let Me Log In

*2022-01-13, version 3.9.5*

Every time I attempt to open this app, scroll, or click on anything, it comes up with a distorted version of the login page over and over and won’t let me continue even after I’ve logged in.

### 2/5 — Struggling

*2022-01-11*

I am having repeated difficulties going back in the app. For example once I select a tab to view an assignment I can’t return to what I was doing beforehand. I have to instead exit the app altogether

### 1/5 — Clunky & Disappointing

*2021-08-20*

I was surprised at how much I have disliked this app. I now don’t see any point in using it unless I couldn’t access Moodle on my  browser or something. First, it is frustratingly slow and is not intuitive. Second, there overall appearance and interface is simply not appealing. The best way to sum it up is that I feel like I’m using a beta version of an app that someone gave up on 6 years ago.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2021-06-01*

Buggy and a waste of time to attempt to use, might as well pull out your laptop.

### 1/5 — bruh

*2021-04-17*

how many times does it take to make an even slightly less awful app..

### 1/5 — So so slow

*2025-10-24*

This app is so so slow it makes uni harder, it takes so long to load anything that it’s painful. I wouldn’t recommend this app currently

### 1/5 — SLOW 🐢🐌🐌🐌

*2025-10-15*

I can see the effort gone into this app - it would be getting a lot of 5 star reviews if the infrastructure wasn't so poor- the server keeps timing out, every time I click on something I get flashbacks to 2004 dial up internet. Pls fix the speed and I'm happy to change this review to 5 stars

### 1/5 — Judita

*2025-10-14*

Can not  login through scanning QR code. Not working

### 1/5 — APP does not work/load

*2025-05-21*

When I open the app & click on my profile to open, all I get is a blank page loading. It’s been like this for a month, I can’t use the app whatsoever. Before this I couldn’t get to certain classes and other information, it would only show some of my stuff. I have to use the browser now to be able to complete my work. I even contacted the support that’s listed in the app and they weren’t helpful.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2025-05-16*

The worst app I’ve ever used with lots of glitches, unexpected errors and finally crashes.

### 1/5 — Slow and laggy

*2025-02-07*

This app is poorly designed, and does not work as intended. No matter my connection, it is extremely slow, and doesn’t load. Just use your browser, this app causes more harm than good.

### 1/5 — Completely useless

*2024-12-15*

I don’t even know why I downloaded this app knowing the reviews were bad.

### 1/5 — App is terrible and won’t work

*2024-08-04*

I have a iPhone 13 Pro with all the latest software and have the app currently up to date. It’s impossible to do the courses on. Everytime I open up the course menu it instructs me to rotate my device. Though matter what direction I move the device it remains stuck in this screen. It’s made it impossible to use and I have never experienced this in any other app in my 15 years of using iPhones.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-04-21, version 4.1.1*

Terrible. Extremely buggy, slow, at times nonfunctional. Erases your work on assignments without submitting. At every click (EVERY click) the screen blanks out and locks up for several seconds. It's a far better experience to just access Moodle through the browser. The code must be an inefficient mess. It's embarassing this program was released. Hard to even call it a computer program. I don't know how this is allowed on the app store. Zero stars.

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2023-03-16, version 4.1.0*

It won’t let me log in and just gives an error code

### 5/5 — Time saver

*2025-09-13*

This process helps a lot with hfc college. All works as expected with quick loading times.

### 5/5 — Improved

*2024-07-08*

I can actually do my work on the app and uploading my assignments are easier. Great job. Only thing id like is for it to come out on windows computers.

### 5/5 — Even better than before

*2021-02-19*

The new app fixed all of the issues the old app had and has all of the features and functionality I need. Works on my iPad and iPhone and for all the different site I need to access. Just note that your site needs o be set up to use the app, so if you can’t get in check with the person who runs your site first!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-02-18*

Downloaded this for my criminal justice seminar.... seems really easy to use.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2021-02-18*

Awesome app for accessing Moodle. Love how I can download unlimited courses and receive unlimited notifications.

### 4/5 — Coding issue

*2021-09-01, version 3.9.4*

Coding error : 

version.php file is missing for the component profilefield_vendor. Please address when available.

### 3/5 — Good on IPhone but Broke on IPad

*2022-12-05*

New update broke the app on Ipad. Can’t get past a loading screen.

### 3/5 — Can’t do my school work

*2022-02-19*

It works ok on my iPhone, but on the brand new iPad Air it wont do anything past the loading screen. Very much a hindrance to doing my school work.

### 3/5 — LaSalle

*2021-11-08*

LaSalle boys know whats up! #Hail LaSalle

### 2/5 — Agonisingly Slow

*2026-02-23*

This app could be great but it is agonisingly slow at loading absolutely everything! I end up just closing it and using the web browser instead.
