Lag? Delayed? Meh. I've been trying to upload some of my daughter's school works on My Portfolio (using My Device and scanning the school's QR code) but it won't seem to be uploaded. We have pretty stable wifi connection so I'm not sure it is because of the connection. When I first downloaded it, it's working just fine. It keeps on showing the "uploading/circle" thing but it really isn't getting uploaded. Edited: Figured out it might be the AUDIO thing. You can't add audio in it. Meh.

Mixed results. Works intermittently with a new(ish) iPad. Never works with a Galaxy S8. Seems to always work with iPhone11. Thank goodness our house has device options. I would hope developers are working out the bugs on this. Maybe add a drop down menu to navigate back and forth or add multiple pics in a single submission.

This app is awful. My kids are using it for school, and I have followed every single instructional anything I can find, and when she takes a picture and submits her work it never goes to her portfolio!! I am beyond frustrated with this thing going around in circles! The funster part also doesn't offer my kid the option to not record audio. There should be an option to skip that, or enter information on manually. There's just something missing, it doesn't work at all.

Entries do not link to assignments. When using to assess, it doesn't give a way to "not show to parents". Awkward and conceptually disconnected with the web application. This software is really still v0.7, not ready for production. School boards beware! Don't be enticed by their fancy website and pictures! It's obvious that they didn't consult with teachers on how the app would work in the entire day of a teachers' workflow - they only looked at small snapshots of the workflow.

I downloaded this app because it is required by my school for online work. I immediately experienced poor app design, the camera required to upload photos is stuck in landscape mode and cannot be changed, the camera button is must be pressed directly in the middle to work making it hard to use, and finally there is a 2-5 second delay on the camera from when the button is pressed to when the photo is actually taken which in my opinion is extremely unnecessary for an app like this.

Even worse than Brightspace. So many usability issues (e.g. you can't only upload one gallery image at a time). But even more problematic, the files don't sync with Brightspace so it's completely useless and a waste of time. I can only surmise that school districts choose Brightspace because it is the cheapest (and worst) option available. So unfortunate for the kids.
