The app is slow and laggy. It has this weird bug where you click on a course and then it goes white for a bit then refreshes to the main page. the second time you click on the course it works fine. Also, it crashed on me twice when taking a quiz. Luckily the quiz progress was automatically saved but it was still stressful. Uploading certain file types is unintuitive and large files take forever to upload even with fast WiFi speeds. Also some embedded links don't work.

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

Last semester the app worked perfectly fine on my android, between semesters there was an update, and now it logs me out almost every time I open it and it constantly says "there's a problem our end" whenever I try to do anything. I can't check my grades, I can't open anything for any of my classes. I'm the type of person who likes to check on my grades and due dates a lot, and needing to be near a computer everytime I get an email that something updated kinda sucks.
