    I'm currently trying to install this app on to my phone and I don't understand what it's actually used for. I can't check assignments, I can't actually log in and it keeps asking me to take photos??? JUST LET ME SEE MY ASSIGNMENTS. I never had such a frustrating situation with Blackboard

    Mixed results. Works intermittently with a new(ish) iPad. Never works with a Galaxy S8. Seems to always work with iPhone11. Thank goodness our house has device options. I would hope developers are working out the bugs on this. Maybe add a drop down menu to navigate back and forth or add multiple pics in a single submission.

    Lag? Delayed? Meh. I've been trying to upload some of my daughter's school works on My Portfolio (using My Device and scanning the school's QR code) but it won't seem to be uploaded. We have pretty stable wifi connection so I'm not sure it is because of the connection. When I first downloaded it, it's working just fine. It keeps on showing the "uploading/circle" thing but it really isn't getting uploaded. Edited: Figured out it might be the AUDIO thing. You can't add audio in it. Meh.
