Aula

I'm starting university after a career that includes 20 years of software design and implementation. This app is full of good ideas that will sell well to university bigwigs, but that are extremely poorly implemented. Prime example is the diary... essential, but no integration with Google or any other calendar app, so the university can add lessons or update times & locations but the only way to find out about them is to log back in every five minutes. Chat appears to be the same.

I never leave feedback but here I am. This is one of the most horrible apps I have ever used. It is unpractical- if you open a notification, you cannot use normally the app as it keeps bringing you back to the page you opened initially. You cannot edit a post you made from the app, submiting assignment and checking the feedback for one is another thing that is not possible. You can't safe or highlight posts so you have to constantly go through the feed to find exactly what you are looking for.

Extremely poor app, sometimes it just refuses to work, decides that some days I can upload documents and others I can't and half the time I can open documents on the app with one device but not another. Some very important features like uploading coursework to Turnitin are only accessible on the desktop version (ridiculous when it's touted as a completely mobile learning tool). Overall a rubbish app that noone would have used if the COVID crisis hadn't happened.
