What Users Dislike About the App
“It doesn’t even work I need a app KEY, but at my school you login regularly it’s so complicated these day with apps. DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS APP.”
“This app makes me hate school more then I already do, the developer of the app should be ashamed of himself for creating such a monstrosity.”
“Only one issue that really bothers me. When I make a Google Doc using this on the computer, it works just fine, but if I’m at home and want to use my phone instead of a laptop, I CAN’T EDIT IT!”
“I hate how much effort and time you have to put into this stuff like think questions and stuff. Also how is this really going to affect our lives?”
“There’s like 5 sections of work you have to do: Intro video, vocabulary, read and annotate, Multiple Choice questions, and written out answers. This app requires student WAY too much work to do.”
