The app fairly regularly signs me out and doesn't let me sign back in, requiring me to entirely reinstall the app to see my classes again. When it functions the app is very slow and takes a long time to load announcements, grades, and upcoming work. The app only shows a fraction of what is visible on Brightspace and is often less convenient than just opening a web browser.
App signed me out of my school account this morning out of nowhere. When I tried to log back in, it told me there was bug in the app and to clear the cache and try again. I did that,and now it's crashing as soon as I open it.
app is useless. everything and anything I want to view, it takes me to web browser. useless app!!!
I haet this app because this app is not working
ridiculous
Keeps randomly signing me out and I cant use my preffered browser (firefox) to sign back in (missed an assignment because i stopped getting notices). So I have to change my default browser, click the sign in button, manually get my password from my password manager, sign in, and change my default browser back.
do not trust this app. I have missed due dates twice because it doesn't sync sometimes. Print your syllabus and use that, do not trust this app!
application doesnt work, i log into brightspace for my college and it does nothing. awful application, respectfully should be removed from the app store since it does literally nothing.
it keeps looping asking if I want to get started has me search for my college I find my college and login and it doesn't link just loops me back to the get started screen
when I log into kaplan, it just directs me through the web page rather than app friendly version. disappointing as it did work
It does not work
horrible. many things can't even be done on the app, and 90% of the time I click on a notification it doesn't load. notification format is horrible as well, you cannot get a preview of what the notification is about other than what class it is for. just use the website.
honestly 1 star cause it's not Canvas.
Likes to log out for no reason.
Randomly logged me out and wont let me sign back in
the app works fine. however what is the point of the app when everything I click just opens upy browser and requires me to sign in through my browser? why not just use the browser? I see no benefits to this app
Nothing has loaded for me on this app like ever.
I don't understand, why not just let us submit assignments? And why not just make it into the entirety of brightspace instead of making a half baked app dedicated to only updates and review?
