Been a user since i started high school in 2024, and honestly it was confusing at first, but ive gotten the hang of it! definitely a lifesaver with due dates and such. Formatting on phone is a little bit difficult to navigate, but on laptop its easy! It allows stuff to be graded immediately which im happy about because i used to have to wait for teachers to grade until i moved schools. Love this app! (it also lets me us google even tho my dad doesn't allow it😋!!)

I'm having a new issue after the update. when I tried to play a video that has an external link it says error has occurred. So instead I try turning my phone so I can see the video on the whole screen but it keeps going to video three of one. even though I'm playing 1. so I hear video one still playing while my view is a play option of the last lesson. it's all of my classes.

To Do List Update Sucks. It use to tell me what was due over the next 7 calendar days. Now Sundays assignments dont show up on the TODO until the Sunday theyre due. Im a student with work and kids. I need a better calendar to help me plan my week. Yeah, I can find it by manually going to Calendar. But thats not as easy and accessible as it once was.
