this is the most buggy education app i have ever downloaded. i can barely open pages without having to close and open the app every time. nothing loads and in the off chance that it does it takes so much time. it freezes so much and blank screens. it's horrible. i really wish they'd fix it

Every time I press the notifications button, it breaks and doesn't load. I have to close and reopen the app. Same thing can happen about 50% of the time by pressing the notification in my phone's bar. Everything else works decent, but I prefer the stability of the website.

The app is great at taking care of needs. However, there isn't a link to directly access the email, which would be convenient. The reason for the low rating is the lack of a "create event" option for assignments that are not directly in Brightspace (be they in another program or in-person). This feature did exist at one point and removing it proves to be majorly inconvenient.
