Blackboard Collaborate™ Mobile App Reviews

I love the app version better then using it on my computer. its less confusing/overwhelming as an app, it also alows me to use apple head phones intead of the terrible headset i bought from school. the one flaw would be that the app doesnt support video with is a big problem for my course she wants us to be able to see each other which you can in the online version. if it was up to me id rather not be live but she runs the show and video is a must

The app is pretty slick, but is missing many features that are essential for collaborating with desktop users. Features such as scrolling with a text box, the ability to add text and draw shapes, entering different rooms... I have only been using the app for 15 minutes but as it is there is very little usability.

Agree with other reviews. Vicious cycle of going to a webpage with no Java. No update since 2012.

Please fix, I was using it and it worked great. Now it has to much static

Much better user interface! Love ability to view documents too. Very nice upgrade. Thanks!

Downloading it now I really need this!!!

Great idea. Would be very useful running these classes but I wasnt able to get into any breakout rooms or see any video feed like I would on a computer/laptop.

When I try to log into a session, I get a downloaded file called meeting.jnlp. But what application opens this file? As far as I can tell its nothing i have. Im sure there is a simple solution. It would be nice to have any useful guidance. So, this application gets a lousy rating.

I can not even open a recording. I have not tried live sessions but honestly I dont even know how you are even supposed to get in to live or recording sessions when it takes you to the browser! I dont have an adobe flash player in the first place... How am I supposed to use it in the browser when I just downloaded the app!!!

The app functions well, but you cant tell if the microphone is muted or not. The icon is not clear whether you are muted or not either way, and no text pops up to tell you ON or OFF.

Its a great app. Just update it so that I can private chat my teacher.

This is a great app for when you are out and about and need to quickly sign into class if you dont have your laptop with you. However, there are a lot of features you cannot access on this app that are required my school participation points. It doesnt let you function in break out rooms, you cant send private chats, whiteboard tools dont work, need I go on? All this app really does is let you listen and answer through your microphone. Please fix!!

It will not open so I can watch my classes.

I hope this works right! I really need this app!!!!!!!!!

Inability to disable all audio when phone systems are in use for the same conference makes this app less useful than it could be.

Ok, where do I even start? I cant do this because it says its not available. Do not get this app. Its not worth it!!

I do t get it what is a session URL can some one help me

I really need the whiteboard function to work. Unless I can see what my prof is sharing the app is pretty useless.

I can raise my hand, participate and speak to my professor and classmates and chat. If you need breakout groups, private chat, and whiteboard access this wont work for you. Other than that works fine!

I cannot enter my class.
