Pretty good, but terrible image handling
jrgibson
This app is a great help when trying to manage my students on the go, but the inability to zoom in on images cripples it horribly. Please add a feature where I can tap an image in order to see a scalable, pannable version of the image. It would make it much easier to use this rather than my current process of seeing a student question with an attached image on the phone and then going to my computer to actually see what's in the image.
Notifications don't take you to the right post

Tapping a new notification when it arrives does nothing. It just opens the app to the last post you were looking at. I think the latest update broke this feature. Hope they fix it soon.
Crashes when trying to switch accounts

The button to switch accounts on the iPad air 2 causes the app to crash
Life saver

Not flashy at all, but the functionality is perfect and it makes my life SO MUCH EASIER. Now I can actually stay up to date with posts and not have to surf through hundreds of posts when an assignment is due. Truly magnificent for productivity. Wish I could do more than give 5 stars.
Crashes when you try to drop a course

Go to Class Settings > Drop Course. The app crashes.
A good start, but notifications need work

Overall I really like using the app. When just browsing around, it works great. I do like the little badges and icons, and it shows you how many unread comments there are for each thread. That’s really cool and very useful! There are a couple things that make it really frustrating though. Notifications: when you receive one, like a comment on a thread, you might expect it to take it to you to that thread, scroll to the appropriate comment and maybe even highlight it. But at best it takes you to the thread. Now if it’s a long thread with many comments, you have no idea where in the thread the new comment is. That makes it practically useless because I’m never going to find what was just said. That comment could be at the end (if you’re lucky) or a response somewhere in the middle ... who knows. Also, if you already have the app open and you get a new notification and open it, the app just opens. It doesn’t even take you to he thread ... so pretty useless :( Images: Whenever there is an image on the screen, it’s difficult to scroll past it. The screen “bounces” and won’t let you scroll if you try and swipe the screen up or down and you touch the image. I’ve found the work around is to touch the very edge of the screen so you can grab some part that’s not the image. But sometimes you just can’t figure out why it won’t scroll, not realizing there is an image in there. If they just fixed the notifications, I’d be really happy. I can deal with the image thing. The notifications are my main source of frustration and one of the things that could make this app really useful.
