Horrible APP

The fact that the last 5 star review I could find was from 13 years ago!!! Shows how outdated this app really is. It doesn't even load anymore.

Worst App I’ve Used

This is absolutely be the most unintuitive app I’ve ever used. There are straight up just buttons you’re unable to click when trying to submit assignments. The web version is only marginally better. I uploaded a video for an assignment, and on multiple occasions, the video content never loaded. I pray universities and government entities stop using this because they use it as a tool through canvas, when canvas literally has the ability to upload videos to it. Atrocious app
