## Review summary

Users view myWGU Mobile as convenient for on-the-go access but plagued by reliability problems. The most mentioned issues are MFA/login failures, email access problems, update-induced instability, course content loading failures (often forcing browser use), and overall slow/buggy performance. These blockers hinder daily use, though some appreciate the app's mobile concept when it functions.

### Pros

- On-the-go convenience for accessing readings and course-related content via the mobile app.
- Intended central access to course materials and tasks in one place (mobile-first experience).
- Occasionally works well and provides a usable experience when issues are not present.

### Cons

- MFA authentication is non-functional, blocking login.
- Email access not working or loading; email component unreliable.
- Update-related instability: constant prompts and post-update breakage.
- Course content/chapters not loading; material won't open or resets; content only opens in browser.
- App performance and stability issues: slow, buggy, freezes, and frequent crashes; navigation issues.
