Typing responses

The screen doesn’t compensate for the room needed for me see what I am typing in the response box. I can’t zoom out or scroll to see what I am typing. Very inconvenient.

Text to speech

I LOVE that there is a text to speech option, that tells you how long it will take to read out the section that you were working on, game changer!!!

High quality slop for school

Loading takes over a minute and by then the question is up. So much money and for garbage.

App is unusable

The app is buggy and rarely works. The functionality itself is fine, but you can’t have an app that is this critical to grades and learning that just doesn’t do anything. Every time there is a question in class, I see AT LEAST 10 people being unable to sign into the app, making them lose points for no fault of their own.

this program sucks

the app is fine, it’s just that the entire program is confusing, anti-intuitive, and difficult to use. Sometimes I can enter data on desktop, sometimes I can only do it on the app. The “show your work” portion of many assignment are so confusing and hard to use. I hope I never take another class that uses this awful program. I love learning and school and top hat is ruining my semester.
