A Hinderance To Education – Blackboard Mobile Learn™ Review

First off, this app acts like it runs iOS 5 or lower which is awful for one. Nothing loads. Nothing works. The app will literally just sit and spin for days upon days if it could. The UI is very underdeveloped and is too large and bulky. Color scheme is a major eye sore. Blackboard is a failed attempt at the success of Google Classroom which works much better than this trash does. PLUS! IT'S FREE AND BACKS EVERYTHING UP IN GOOGLE DRIVE + DOCS! Blackboard does NONE of that. There is a $1.99 USD fee as soon as you enter the app and if you don't pay for it, the app is literally a waste of space because it does absolutely nothing else. You cannot do any work within Blackboard without encountering some sort of strange lag or load issue which will inevitably cause late assignments for those who procrastinate or work up until the last minute. As mentioned earlier, the color scheme is bleak and the developers of this app must be some very depressed people. If you want to view a certain file or folder within Blackboard, have fun tapping on things for the next 10 minutes because there is absolutely NO DIRECTION in this app. It's attempt at simplicity was an utter failure and only made the app much more complicated. When you finally get to the one thing you want, all the app does is give you a gray old iOS loading icon and white screen. If you're lucky. Most of the time the app won't even load or it'll freeze up and, occasionally, to view the file or folder, you have to tap on it once, back out of it and tap on it again for it to load. Please don't download this app and PLEASE REFUND US OUR MONEY WE SPENT ON YOUR GOD AWFUL APP. 0/10.
