Blackboard Customer Insights

1. However, it doesn't display images, links to documents often don't work or don't show up, and links to reading and assignments often appear in tiny text that's hard to read and i have better than 20/20 vision.

2. You are not able to see any links or details about the assignments or anything, you can not see any media files, and the email function is no longer supported which is a very important part of blackboard.

3. Ever since it updated early last month I have had so many issues with using it that I've had to just stop using the app all together and have had to stick to using blackboard on my laptop.

4. The app's okay, but these errors make working on the go harder.Garbage. Pressing notifications takes you to a blank screen, every single time (I want even getting notifications till maybe two weeks ago).

5. If the instructor sends a message to the whole class (not an announcement), you have to access a desktop or laptop in order to see messages in blackboard.

6. I hate blackboard, but I guess when you own the market you can stop trying.My experience with this app has been trying to say the least.

7. That said, I was able to use this as a means of staying up to date with my classes and access my course documents from my phone, which I appreciated.

8. I haven't been able to check progress or assignments due in a reliant manner.

9. YOU NEED TO FIX THESE ISSUES AND STOP JUST IGNORING THE STUDENTS FORCED TO USE IT.I mean, I'll use it, because it's easier than pulling out my laptop.

10. Most of the time I do not receive notifications of new assignments, & a majority of the assignments can not even be completed in the app.

11. I wish it had a more robust PDF interface and toolset.The app does not work super great for my school's curriculum.
