User Reviews

Across reviews, the Blackboard Android app is described as unreliable and slow. The most recurring issues are constant sign‑in/out, frequent crashes and errors (including during exams), and redirects to the home screen when navigating courses. Many features and content available on the web are missing or don’t load in the app, and large uploads are slow. Accessibility and usability improvements, such as dark mode, are commonly requested. Overall, reliability and parity with the web version are the core concerns.
Pros
Cons
  • Frequent login/out issues: users report being signed out regularly and having to log in multiple times, with some saying they can't stay logged in or keep getting login prompts.
  • Stability and errors: common crashes and bugs, including redirects to the home page, error messages like "there's a problem on our end", and glitches during exams or quizzes.
  • Performance and loading problems: app is described as very slow and laggy, with slow file uploads and some content not loading or appearing missing compared to the web version.
  • Content parity and missing features: many folders/documents and course materials visible in the browser are missing or not accessible in the mobile app, reducing usability.
  • Accessibility and feature requests: requests for dark mode and better accessibility handling (e.g., Ally Accessibility Report inaccuracies) indicate UX limitations on mobile.

some discussion posts have an issue where the post itself and all the replies are cut off at the right side of the screen. very inconvenient

Mostly works. there are some issues with UI not being updated but otherwise I'm able to do most things (but not all) I would need to on my phone.

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.
