## Review summary

Across reviews, users report stability and login problems (crashes, launches failures, random logouts, Android 14 issues), a non-native, browser-like mobile experience with an old UI and missing features, as well as rendering issues for LaTeX/MathJax and Markdown. Some praise exists for basic usability and a few call Piazza 'great' or 'nice' for simple tasks, while dark mode is repeatedly requested and appreciated. Connectivity limits off-campus and no push notifications are common complaints.

### Pros

- Persistent login issues (must log in repeatedly or have SSO problems) and unreliable session handling.
- Off-campus usability is limited and push notifications are not available.
