Comments on Blackboard for Android

★☆☆☆☆ Faythe Bryan · Aug 30, 2026

Nothing loads anymore. I click on my courses and get nothing but a blank screen. I am lucky to get a look at one or two of my courses in a session. The screen also glitches anytime I go to the courses page. I haven't even been able to access the course calendar at all.

★☆☆☆☆ adam moen · Sep 27, 2026

Won't load courses when I click in them. Just a blank screen. Did every troubleshooting method they suggested I do. Can't use it at all.

★☆☆☆☆ SpydreByte · Aug 24, 2026

There's always issues with this app, which are included but not limited to defaulting to showing every class you've ever enrolled in instead of just your active ones with no way to disable it, logs you out even when you check to stay logged in, and now refuses to load any course content. According to other reviews these have all been issues for years, the earliest I've seen being 2019.
