2026-07-23	Os*****	New update removed ability to view old course rooms. It's been possible so why is it removed? Also that you can't see groups menu for a course on the phone is super annoying. You can only see groups you are already a part of and can't view and join new ones.

2026-07-23	Lu*****	keeps not being able to perform basic functions, and thinks courses are finished when they arent while just trying to reply to an instructor. will log you out in the most inopportune moments, completely nullifying its "study on the go!" use, as i need to always have access to my logged-in laptop to use the qr code login. its janky and incredibly user-unfriendly.

2026-07-22	Na*****	This app needs some heavy maintenance. Both the calendar and To-Do list are broken and won't show up, along with notifications sometimes not showing up. This app used to be reliable, but that was years ago.
