terrible, glitches out all the time, im constantly having to cancel out of the app and go back in to upload any of my work, the redirecting to the home page every time you click a course is also very annoying, and this app has kicked me out 5 times during an exam which luckily did not submit my work after it kicked me out, overall just annoying and frustrating to use especially when you have a lot to do.

Canvas is a much better app to use than this blackboard app. It's very slow and doesn't have everything that is needed in order to successfully achieve the most basic action for your educational purposes. On canvas, you automatically stay logged in, it's faster and convenient to use for each course. You don't have to use the actual website on your computer because the canvas app let's you do everything while on the go. You can complete assignments, exams, attend actual online video lectures, etc

one of the worst management apps of all time. the app does not save your login, so you have to manually log in every time you open the app. this log in does not work with password managers, so you will have to manually enter your email and password every single time. even after you log in and enter the app, it does not immediately update any new class information, instead taking even more time. submitting assignments through the app also doesn't work half the time. this app is awful.
