Blank screen

Can’t seem to use the app on my phones I tried 3 devices 1. iPad 2. iPhone 8 3. IPhone XS. And the website only works on my laptop

Excellent if the professor knows how to use it

I am lucky when I have professors who know how to properly use this app in a way that facilitates learning and retention of material. When the professor doesn’t know how to utilize the app, and uses it in a distracting way or cannot use the interface, that takes time out of the class and frustrates me and other learners. This app is pretty solid for students as it provides a good learning platform to assess learned facts as well as a source of review questions. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be a professor and write hundreds of questions per semester for this app, though. Thankfully, I’m not a professor!

WiFi / cellular connection is really bad

The WiFi connection works half of the time and when I want to use the app over cellular connection, it doesn’t work at all. Please fix.

Works fine, permissions are weird

Tried to access my class today and needed to set my location permissions to Always, rather than just While Using. Strange that I would need to let Top Hat use my location even when I'm not in class marking my attendance.

I already have to pay for classes, now this?

I have tuition, books, and supplies on top of apartment payments, feeding myself, any medical bills, etc. I had to buy a subscription, sure it was $30 or so, but I had to get it in order to participate in class. Literally could’ve used Kahoot. It’s a good app, but not great for starving college students.

Location Tracking is obnoxious

The setting of “Always” for location tracking is obnoxious. It makes more sense to have “while using app” but the app doesn’t allow for that.

SCAM SCAM SCAM

This is a scam. Useless. You wanna know how to improve this app? Get rid of it! :) Your making students, which most are in debt, pay more money for some stupid app that a pen and paper could easily do. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. SCAM SCAM SCAM

Gone downhill

Stylinson Swiftie

The app was working perfectly fine all semester until the most recent update. Ever since the newest version of the app came out, it crashes within thirty seconds every time I open it. I used to enjoy doing homework and answering questions from my phone, but I no longer have that luxury and I am disappointed. Please debug this app!

Refund

Brassa1031

I tried to get a refund for an unused subscription and was denied because it was after the 2 week refund period. My professor had a hard time trying to figure how to use it but insisted she would figure it out. COVID-19 started and she abandoned it for the easier to use school site we have. I’ve used the program for another class before and it worked well but the company policy and customer care is lacking. I had another peer who submitted the same complaint same time I did and received a refund.

Always makes my answer wrong!

When my question is “select all apply” and I get my answers wrong and i have another attempt I fix them and click right answers and then submit it automatically saves the wrong answers!!! This always happens and it’s really becoming Titus.
