The home inspection course used to go through the Carson Dunlop website. Now it's on Canvas. Can you please put the table of content quick reference at the top of each of the study sessions? They made it very easy to see what was in the study session without having to scroll through all the content in the study session. The table of contents for each section is too vague to use for specific info. The individual table of contents in each study session at the very top of the study session.

As a returning student (undergrad was 2010) taking night classes while working full time, the app is really helpful for staying organized. I'm adhd-ish and the ability to see what's due all in one place is extremely helpful. It would be really cool if this could integrate with Gemini or another AI agent of choice to help manage visibility of assigned readings etc. I can't even imagine how much easier my undergrad would have been with tools like this.

Horrible app. I can't scroll through a doc that is embedded in the UI... like how can you not have basic stuff like scrolling through an embedded doc properly implemented? I wonder how and why the engineers who built this are hired...

Awful app. Send hundreds of notifications and emails even when the settings have been turned off. Hate this app so much

Why does this app automatically log out from the ID if I open it offline? It is the worst experience because logging in again wastes an immense amount of time, and it becomes worse when we have to submit an assignment and the deadline is in a few mins.

Really terrible. Takes forever to open any more than a blank screen, and crashes on assignments very often. And now it constantly logs you out. Like multiple times in the same session. If I could give 0 stars, I would.
