This app is borderline nonfunctioning. It does not let me sign in properly half the time. When I do sign in, I am greeted with another mysterious signin page that doesn't work. The one time I was able to access the actual Blackboard, almost nothing loaded and I was unable to view anything. My organization uses web sign in and an requires MFA with an authenticator app. Blackboard failed to send the push request to the authenticator.

My college uses blackboard, so I downloaded the app. From 9/16/23: Recently however, I had randomly log out of my account on the app. It tells me that my session has ended, but in the app never logged me out, except when my college makes the students change their password. IGNORE NEXT SENTENCE (I didn't realize this was under Bug fixes) As of 2/20/25, The app no longer redirects me to the app after I login into my blackboard account, and I am thinking about uninstalling the app.

We truly apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing. The frequent logouts are a security feature set by your institution, not an app flaw. We've also addressed other login issues. If problems persist, please reinstall the app. More info: https://help.blackboard.com/Blackboard_App/Administrator/Auto_Login.

This is one of the worst apps I've ever used. I have to navigate to my classes twice, reset the thing multiple times, and it's a huge drain on your phone. I wouldn't mind the last part if the resources drained went into actually using the app, but buttons randomly stop working, it'll just refuse to let you upload or download. If it wasn't required for my clinicals, I wouldn't bother to use the mobile site whatsoever.
