Doesn’t keep you logged in

I downloaded the app to see if I could access Piazza without entering my login credentials every time. It seems that it logs you out on each open, so is no better than simply using the browser. It also seemed to have some glitches when posting replies.

Terrible

New user interface breaks entire app

Login is not maintained. Scrolling doesn’t work. Can’t click on anything. Did you do 0 testing? No wonder no one trusts “educators”

Terrible update

Latest update is garbage that makes the app unusable and non-responsive.
