Capella Mobile 4+

New User

I just started using this app and I avoid it at all cost. Everything I click on sends me to a browser...I may as well just use the browser, even email goes to a browser. The information doesn’t always match what the website says and I should be able to reorder the what information is important to me, or at least acknowledge notices on the main screen so i don’t keep seeing them.

This app is not in any way a time saver for me. I just go to the browser. This is not my first time in school. I have used other blackboard apps that were great, all the info in one place, rarely sending me to the browser.

Developer Response ,

The most heavily-used feature of the app is course discussions, featuring a unique ‘Trail of Blue Dots’ that lead to replies to you – something not found in the courseroom website. That being said, we are working to integrate other activities into the app and would love to hear your top items to include to see if they match. If you would, please raise your hand out on the Capella Mobile discussion forum on Campus (campus.capella.edu). A handy link to the forum is at the bottom of the page at Support Teams / Technical Support / Capella Mobile. Thanks in advance for your additional feedback!

Much improved, could be great

Much improved over the past year. They’ve made a commitment to updating the app and it shows (initially left a 1 star rating). I like the blue dots that show discussion posts with unread replies-actually wish they had this feature from a desktop. Only issue is that the app crashes quite a bit. Will be in the middle of reading a post and it’ll crash. Wish you could see the text when you reply to posts rather than going into a new screen. Love being able to reply via phone and being able to see the text you’re replying to would be nice.

As Campus lite is great tool.

It has greatly enhanced the potential to maintain connectivity to the University. It is not an alternative to the full online classroom experience and should not be treated as such. It is campus “lite”. Check financial aide, check a grade, check campus email, check a discussion post maybe write a short discussion reply. Anything else best to utilize the main campus. The best way to provide feedback to the development team is through the discussion boards. The team desires feedback and the discussion board also has descriptions of workarounds and known issues.
