Terrible
This app is terrible, there are constant audio and video differences so you constantly have to exit and restart the videos and then sometimes that still even doesn’t work. Schools need to move away from this tool.
Dysfunctional
GVSU forces me to use this against my will, this app has literally zero redeeming qualities. Super slow and there is always something wrong with this app. I would give an example but the whole app is terrible just try it out.
Just give up
The title above would be my first statement to the developers of this app. How do you develop an app for 13 years and still have such a terrible product? Just pack it in and sell off the company to a firm that actually is passionate about end user outcomes. Do better.
Barely functional and vibe coded
Cannot run any videos on coffee shop WiFi or 5g hot spots. Auto transcribe fails to get any medical words right
Maybe the worst app I’ve ever had the misfortune of using
Can’t even access videos from lectures on mobile app without having already opened it on the laptop. What even is the point
Barely Usable
I am trying to use this app as a university student, however it barely functions. There is no “fill screen” or “expand view” setting, which is frustrating since tilting my phone doesn’t show the entire video in-frame. The bookmarks might be nice to have, but they don’t actually work. Clicking on them just shows the timestamp of the video without actually skipping to where you need to be. The video continues playing as if nothing happened. I seriously do not know how this service was implemented by so many universities, it seems like nothing was beta tested, nor have longstanding issues been addressed.

Panopto app doesn’t work
App can’t upload or record videos at all so I’m not sure what purpose there is to use it if it can’t do those tasks.
Terrible
This app is absolute trash. If your organization forces this app on you know that they hate you.
Worst streaming app ever!!
I rarely write a review, but this app deserves leaving a review. I am very surprised why big universities use this app with all the issues it has. I never stopped a video and can easy resume. Streaming is there for long time, why this app struggles !!
I WOULD RATE 0 STARS, BUT IT DOESN’T ALLOW ME
This has got to be the worst app universities could have chosen. Im not sure if the iPad app version is as buggy, but for iPhone, I am literally having to open and see a video and then if it’s buggy, having to close the WHOLE APP AND HAVING TO OPEN THE VIDEO AGAIN FOR THE SMALL CHANCE OF BEING ABLE TO WATCH A RECORDING WITHOUT ANY BUGS. I hate it so much. I’d rather drink recently used public toilet water than have to use this app ever again. I am willing to say something worse, but I don’t want this comment taken down. The worst app ever created. Feels like it was coded by a disabled blind monkey who typed random codes onto the computer.

Audio doesn’t match
Every time I open a video the audio resets to the very beginning of the video, even if the video is halfway through. It doesn’t ever reset to the right spot and even if you put it back to the beginning and try to skip ahead the audio still will not match. Doesn’t matter how many times you open and close the app it just never works

Can’t upload vids
There is no point to this app anymore. It won’t upload vids anymore (iPhone nor iPad), so I have to upload to OneDrive, go to my computer, download the video, upload it to the Panopto site. I spent more time trying to upload the videos than I did making them.
Blank screen
The app just pretends to load for a second and then shows a blank screen. Uninstalling doesn’t fix it either
Playback issues
Video works except if you want to fast forward or rewind, then the video does not play correctly
Wont let me sign in
Wont even let me sign in, absolutely useless pile of garbage
H
Really buggy
Still broken
playback breaks easily and can’t even be fixed by restarting the app. player ui controls suck, worse than any other player I’ve used. Does not properly support background playback.
Horrible Design and Dysfunctional
Fire your current app developers or if you contracted people terminate their contract. The user interface needs to be be better optimized for phone usage. If I am trying to start the video, it’s easy to accidentally skip forward in the progress bar unless the video is in fullscreen mode. Additionally, the progress bar and the “Skip ahead 10s” button sometimes advances the video but not the audio. It’s great to pay for an education only to be let down by a horrible app. There’s an overwhelming number of app developers out there- go find better ones.

Update the app
This app is designed for iPad but doesn’t even support the mini player or split screen features the iPad offers, which makes it pretty useless when watching while taking notes. Also if you close the app for too long and then reopen it will refresh the app which is infuriating when you just want to continue where you left off. Please update with quality of life fixes.
The support for downloading presentations & lectures would be very useful also.

Stopped Working Again
All I get is a white screen, again. Was working fine for a few months and now this again. I have restarted my iPad. I have deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothing changes. I can’t even log on. As soon as I open the app it’s just a white screen. I need to use this app to securely record videos in accordance with my school’s policy, and I cannot do that with this level of malfunction. What is going on?!
