Customer ReviewsNice new features (5 stars)Haven't really gotten a chance to explore everything but I just got a notification to my home screen about a test being posted to my course in Blackboard. This is awesome. The description says that we will be able to take mobile compatible tests which is pretty excellent since I have been trying to access them through my safari browser and it hasn't been working. All in all Blackboard looks like they are making a conscious effort to make thi Surprisingly good (5 stars) I was a little skeptical about how this would work on an iPad, but it has been really helpful. I can flip through all the PDFs, power points, notes, etc. for all my classes far more fluidly than through the web interface. Also works for watching lectures, etc. And free! I like it but... (4 stars) This is a great app for my school and works on both my phone and iPad. The new update has a bug for the discussion boards however and needs to be fixed ASAP!
