Liberty Today

Every single time the app updates, you have to log in again AND the app forgets all your preferences! So hooray, you get to once again hide all the stuff in the feed you aren’t interested in. There is little point to this app. It lags a lot and many of the widgets requires you to tap it to show any info. (The Blackboard app is much more useful and less buggy in this regard.) The only thing I like about it is that it lets you view a basic progress of your Degree Completion Plan as well as browse classes to get more info before registering. Maybe if I were a residential student I would find more of a use for this app, but as it is, the Blackboard app is WAY better.

I’ve been at Liberty for Two years. This app is so disappointing because it could be very useful, but it is not. Mostly due to the requirement to login every time you launch the app. What’s worse is there is no support for modern login features like Touch ID. You can’t even paste a password from LastPass into this app. Paste into the password field is disabled. I have a long, auto generated password for this account. I cannot type it in every time I launch this app. I don’t even use this app for this reason but it has some potential if the login process was updated which would make this app more usable. Sadly, as it is, it encourages the use of weak, easy to type, passwords.

I am a new student here at Liberty University but I am no stranger to going to school online. I have been doing so since my sophomore year and I am now in grad school. This app isn’t what I would expect from a school this size. The biggest shortcoming that I have noticed so far is that blackboard does not interface with the app properly. You also cannot participate in discussion or post your assignments. For a busy wife and mother of three like me who goes to school full-time, works full-time, and is part-time at church it is very inconvenient to not be able to do these things on the go through the app. I really hope that some updates are made and that I we see some improvements pushed out soon. However so far I do love the school #Champion4Christ!! 😍
