Blackboard Collaborate™ Mobile App Reviews

Excellent

It could open more than one session at the same time!

cant download

i tried to download this app on my IPhone 6S 4 times or more but it doesnt work

Dont Bother Downloading

The whiteboard doesnt work. It doesnt have nearly the functionality of the pc version. It wont let you join as a guest either. It just takes you back to the link. Horrible.

Missing essential feature

It needs to have the possibility to change room - essential.

Barely works

Like everyone else is saying, this app is sorely in need of help. You can talk and interact in basic ways, but the whiteboard doesnt work and you cant put yourself into groups. Come on Blackboard!

Overall a decent app

Id like to see an update include the ability to see the whiteboard when the teacher writes on it. As of now, its just a white screen. Id also like to see the ability to listen to recordings. Otherwise, it works pretty well.

Please Update

I would love to be able to send private chats and just write on the board if you could do that that would help so much!

RE: missing features

Please add video webcam feature. My class requires it. I like to use the app on my phone while I am out and about. But, I cant do that without this feature.

UPDATE NEEDED

Please please please update this to work with iOS 9 and iPad pros!! I use my tablet to collaborate for a class and I cant participate in anything, the screen sharing loads like a horizontal bar graph one bar at a time, no access to video, or any chats other than the main one.

Atrocious - Please remove from App Store

Absolutely hideous application. Should be removed from the App Store to save others from needless suffering.

Need more

Yes I used it once but it was a great deal of trouble to use. 1: I could not use the app share ( where me and the teacher share their screen) 2: I could not write on the board when given board privileges to work with class mates. I do not understand you run very slow and not very efficiently please fix these problems and i will change my review accordingly.

Update your app... this is awful.

This is awful... there are so many great things you can do from an iPad now that could enhance student learning... update your app. No updates since 2013? Are you not a technology based company? How do you keep up with no updates since 2013?

Needs extras

I use this for school when my laptop isnt working so far I hate it. I cant navigate slides, I cant change rooms, I cant PM teachers or anyone for that matter. It would be great if you could add these features. :)

Notifications :(

I use bbc every day. After the last update I lost the ability to be notified when a person joins the session, raises their hand ect. When you go into the settings to turn on those settings they arent saved. You go into settings, set it up, click "done" and nothing happens. It means I have to stare at my phone for over an hour a day to see if anybody joins my session. I used to be able to do other things and be alerted if somebody joined. MAJOR BUMMER!

Sound not clear

In virtual classes Sound not clear when using any Bluetooth headset

Doesnt work with IPhone 7

Frustrating that it doesnt work in my IPad or my IPhone!

Does not "Collaborate"

I am currently using this program on my computer. The app says I need a URL, but I cannot find it anywhere and the support page doesnt work either. At one point I found the download page, but it would just open up of Safari. Useless app, 0 stars

Yes, It works

I used it on the road to be in a web conference and it works as it should

Doesnt work

I enter the link, and it opens safari and says its not suitable for my mobile device. I am using an iPad mini btw.

Nope

I am using the new ipad air, Jan 2014 and the app is not working, the same as the comment below. When entering the link into the app, is is then opening the link into Safari (which is not java compatible)...vicious cycle.
