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
Stuck on no-wifi connection page forever. Does not work! Only browser works
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.
Bad update!
After the latest update, the app stopped loading on my phone. As an educator, I use this app for my classes. You guys need to fix everything immediately because if this continues, my university would have to cancel the license. There are other alternatives out there.
App is not opening
It asked for login, after providing school sso in a browser the app is not opening
Update Adds Insult to Injury
The people involved this app's most recent update made the app so completely worthless, when I want to see Piazza on my iphone, I find it's easier just to use my iphone's web browser instead. Honestly, Piazza needs to fire the entire team of people involved in this app's most recent 2025 update, because even though the app left much to be desired before the update, afterwards, the update made the app 10,000 times worse. Worse to the point of pathetic. The update is so bad, I'm surprised the computers these coders worked on didn't simply explode in these peoples' faces bad. I'm talking about the kind of bad in which I would not be surprised if Piazza entered the news because it releases every single client's personal information to the public. Honestly, I don't even feel safe putting my personal information into this website/app anymore because I am afraid of it's getting released to the world. If I were a company, I'd make my marketing message the login credentials, because I know Piazza would do a better job at publishing the "password" and other "personal" information better than best marketing team ever could. Piazza, please fire these coders immediately, and tell them never to come back!

Worst UX possible
Title
Getting Worse
Before the last update the app was tolerable though it required logging back in every seven days.
Post update it’s unusable. Difficult to login, will not switch classes, and runs slower than a tortoise in a ring filled with maple syrup.

Uses text tone notification sound
Very annoying as it is not a messaging app but still uses the iPhone text tone for all notifications
Crashes on startup
Immediately crashes on startup. Persist after uninstall. Was buggy even when it did open, images and post text constantly not loading.
Bad update
App crash every time I try to open it after the latest update. Please fix it!
Completely Useless
I have given up on trying to use this app. Every time I want to use it to look at Piazza on my phone, I try to log in only to get vague “Please authenticate” errors. I then try to authenticate by going down and authenticating through my institution (horrible UI by the way - why even have a sign in if won’t work without a completely separate sign in). But yet, this doesn’t work either - I successfully sign in only to get stuck at an “Authenticating” page.
As it is, even once in, the app is extremely buggy and crashes often. It seems like it’s mostly an embedded webpage of Piazza, which is already an unstable and bloated web service.
So, as I said, I’ve given up. I just sign in through Canvas on my phone now and look at the embedded Piazza page there. It’s definitely not ideal, but hey, nothing about Piazza is.

app is way worse than website also add dislike button
hate how you cant see the amount of good questions like in the website. also the ui is lowkey doodoo unlike the website where you can actually scroll properly. also add dislike button for when someone replies to your question with the most useless response ever.
I hope you like signing in
I hope you like signing in every single day because piazza sure likes when you do.
Worthless
The only feature of this app that’s worth your time is number on the icon that shows how many unread posts there are at a glance.
Beyond that:
- it crashes often as soon as you hit create a post
- it will let you spend minutes writing a reply, then delete it with an error message when you hit post.
Looking through the reviews I’m puzzled as to why Piazza has not fixed these problems. One of my students could do this as a summer project.

Keeps adding classes
App is fine but keeps adding back classes I’ve dropped so I have to keep manually dropping them and it’s getting annoying. Didn’t used to do that
FIX THE UPLOADING OF PICTURES
I have never found an app this badly made and yet so widely used. It’s slow and although it shows information that is useful sometimes the cons out way the pros. First of all why is it that when I upload pictures it either doesn’t work or takes years. And not only that why are they only distinguishable by DATE. Literally code them by pic 1 and pic 2 would be infinitely more useful. Why would you choose this. Also why is everything so slow. Like seriously.

Complete trash
The app constantly logs you out, and trying to log back in is a hassle. Not worth what I paid for it, and I paid nothing
App keeps crashing whenever I try to click on a post
