Useful educational iPhone apps for students

If the student in your life has an iPhone, they're probably text messaging, surfing the Web, checking e-mail, and using apps. And although the phone can be a distraction in the classroom, it can also be a viable companion for students. There are several great iPhone applications designed specifically for students. These apps all aim to make the student in your life just a little more productive in their educational endeavors. Since many college students use BlackBoard to access class information, BlackBoard Learn seems like an ideal choice for those students. BlackBoard Learn, a free app, allows students to access all the information they normally would find on their unique online account. They need only to download the app, input their username, and they will be able to access all their class information. Everything from teacher announcements to new assignments are available. They can even check their grades. It's a free Read More

Still have to use Safari to login and view any actual data
flightmajor 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
I don't really understand the point of this app. It doesn't really display any real or useful data. You can use the app to browse clear down to individual grades for example, but then if you want to see the grade, it takes you to Safari where you have to go through the tedium of logging in and using the small iphone screen to try to navigate. Pretty much its only function is to tell you that a new grade or assignment has been posted. I was really hoping for something that would display all the data (or at least grades, assignments etc) in the app in an optimized way for the iphone screen, not just link you to safari. I mean, I can already access blackboard in safari, nothing new there. Oh well, maybe they will improve it in a later version.
Free doesn't make it better
Ray's Cat 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
Just installed it on my iPod and synced to my Bb account at school. That part was straightforward and painless, no trouble at all. Unfortunately, everything else you've read here *is* true. The information you'll want to access most is available only through a "Visit" button. Tap one of those buttons and this application closes and you are handed off to to Safari--where you have to go through the same old login routine. Couldn't you have started with Safari first, and cut out the middle man?
Bb fail
Bbstudent 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Um. It doesn't work what so ever, sync doesn't work and it just says failed sync. This would be usefull if it actually worked..
Bb sTynch
Blog42day 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
One synch and never again. Hours of failed attempts. Try again.
Garbage
ThePlate 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Documentation is poor. Impossible to find PIN # or any resource to "sign up for BbSync". Apparently many options in the app are simply pointers to web links. As primitive and poorly conceived as the web apps. Blackboard, you make crap product, and you are lazy. We only use you because we have to.
Wacko
Grizzmyster 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Doesn't work for new England tech either!!! That's wack!!
This app hangs and is way too slow
acake 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Hopefully future updates will make this app functional. Till then its just a waste. It takes too long to load your settings and make any sort of changes. Even after a restart it wouldn't work. Great idea, poor execution.
Does not work
Susvart 1.0 stars Version: 1.0

Important Guy 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Blackboard is terrible in general. Our school used a much better system last year before we switched.
Should have read the reviews before downloading.
3GFiend 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
This program is absolutely horrible. This should have never been released but alas it was and I stupidly downloaded it instead of reading the all too real reviews. Please if you are reading this before downloading DO NOT DOWNLOAD even though it's free.
Complete Crap
defn 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Like their poorly designed and overpriced course management software, the Blackboard iPhone app continues a long tradition of failing miserably. Seriously, where did they get the idea this was worthy of releasing to the public? STUDENTS: Tell your administrators there are FREE alternatives to Blackboard. Don't let your school get sold this junk product because they mention they have a really neat iPhone app. I am boycotting Blackboard after their recent decision to file another lawsuit against the company D2L for infringing on their so-called intellectual property. The only intellectual property Blackboard Inc. has is demonstrated by this complete waste of my iPhone's storage. Boycott Blackboard in your school. Worst. Development. Company. EVER.
This app is great

Not a good product
Busy Little Bee 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
For some reason, when I put in all the correct data, I receive an error message saying either there was an internal failure or wrong password. Can anyone help?
Really disapponted
AlexStranger 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
I thought that this was great, but then i started the app and its really bad. All it does is linking you to Safari where yo have to log in again. You should be able to see the discussion boards, course documents and announcements natively in the app. I hope it improves
Disappointing
Kaizoku Risu 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
This app was disappointing. I was hoping I could view course documents right from the app, but it just provides a safari link which requires me to sign in every time, so there is very little use for the app as of now.
Nice try...
Ryan1116 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Good concept, poor launch. App fails to download "first time data" and simply stays on loading screen. Would advise further beta testing and a update asap. Look forward to the update.
What's the point?
KevinPScott 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
I load apps on my iPhone so that I don't have to navigate Safari. All this app does is launch a Safari window to long in to the website if I want to see anything worth reading (grades, assignments, message board posts). Maybe v2.0 will bring better access, but currently this app isn't worth downloading. A very disappointing product given that it comes from a company that makes a living from online tools. This feels like an alpha release of an app under production.
bad
mgantt87 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
absolutely useless. you can't see anything without leaving the app and going to the browser. i might as well use safari.
Reached the first sync, then...
JSJ99 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Never quite loaded:(
A noble attempt, but. . .
TSaxman28 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
the implementation stinks. I agree with all that's been written. In addition, the app says it will re-sync if you haven't launched it withing an hour. Well, it's been over 24 and it didn't sync. I'm always amazed at what we'll put up with when it comes to software. If this was a toaster we wouldn't stand for it.
No Dice
Baiji, college student 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Will not accept the college http address for love or money. No solutions in the app or on blackboards site = bag of hurt.
Can't get app to sync at all
casualbrain 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
After five authentication tries, then finally a complete uninstall/reinstall of the app, I never got the app to sync with our college server. Needs serious work. Perhaps an ability to select custom sync intervals would improve the product once the bugs are worked out.
Seems great, but can't login
sjollione 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
I was really looking forward to this app. Unfortunately i cant login to my blackboard via this. I use http://bb.vu.nl but when i enter my login + pw it fails to complete saying wrong combo.
It works, but I still need to login when I click on links
weesen.goh 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
It works as expected and is good in displaying the changes and updates in courses. It will be great if they improve on the following: Still need to login via safari to view document; No landscape view; No numeric indicator on app icon in home screen; allow let institution customise color scheme or graphic on app for better identity :)
Lame
utryan 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
Doesn't work for ut. Internal error..
Very disappointing app!
Mommy Daisy 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
I was so looking forward to this one. I'm not sure how this is even an app. It is just a glorified bookmark to your class. You still have to go on Safari to read discussion board questions. Pair up with Backpack and make this useful!!!!
Pretty useless until they connect the data to the application.
anchovi 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
No info given in this application -- just links you to the main website via safari on the iPhone.
syncing problems
artistic_guy1 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
I can't seem to sync my username and password. I'm using the right username and password. Can someone figure out why this is happening?
Fail

This app is a fail
iwokethedawn 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
There is nothing exciting, or even useful about this app. As past reviews have stated, it is just a link to Bb in Safari. Therefore I give it a big fat F!
Can't Log In
djauer 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
As everyone else is experiencing, I can't get past the login screen. Restarted phone. Doubly-checked credentials. Hopefully Blackboard can get this resolved soon. it'd be nice to work on things while away from the computer.
Broken
Beht910 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
I couldn't authenticate and after reading other reviews found I wasn't alone. If this app did what it claimed I might give it another shot. However, logging in to be re-directed to the page in Safari, to have to log in again is frankly a wastse of time. Blackboard is a clunky browser app, why would the Bb iPhone app be different?
Needs a comlete redesign
hypnoswakes 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
Blackboard is an web application (for lack of better terms) that many of us in college use for both online and hybrid courses. Without writing an essay about why I find this application less than adequate, I will simply say it all comes down to integration. This is nothing more than a glorified set of links back to your particular colleges blackboard site. You have to login via safari each time you want to get updated information which makes the whole application useless in the first place. I could have just as easily made a bookmark in safari and gotten the same functionality. This application needs a complete redesign from the ground up which focus on an intuitive interface that completely integrates with blackboard without the need to constantly login to the website. This is an application which is suppose to meet the needs of students, so please do a needs assessment and a usability testing on real students.
Not good
nascarfan87&18 1.0 stars Version: 1.0
It wont accept my schools blackboard site saying it does not exist but it does!
I expected more
Mrscaston 2.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
I was pleasantly surprised to see this app and downloaded it and was able to sync with my school just fine but today I started my online class and I attempted to log on to view information and it would not sync with current info. Slightly disappointed with the results. It's good in theory but it hasn't functioned for me the way I need it to.
Blackboard - Doesn't Work
tdd1224 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
Great idea bad deployment. Doesn't work at all.
Great! Not so much.
Cat1122334455 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
I have teachers who want me to check blackboard several times a day. This app is just what I needed to keep up with it all. Very convenient. Steps up the value and usefulness of my iPhone in my opinion. Update: the only two times this app has sync'ed were the first time I loaded it and the time it crashed and I restarted it. I really need this to know when to go to blackboard, but it's not working at all. Lame. Seriously. Please fix it. I need a manual sync button too.
blackboard
arkid09 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
would be a good app but if you want to check anything it just sends you to safari's webpage and you still have to sign in... what's the point of the app then?
Useless without integration
Hynes 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
Completely agree with hypnoswakes. I hate using the online service in the first place, but I must due to school. That being said, I thought that this app would replace the need to view Blackboard in Safari, but no, all it does is show me announcements and links back to the browser version! You should be able to view files in-app. This could really be helpful, but right now all it is is a waste-of-time-detour. It really is useless right now, to put it simply.
Doesn't work
CRryan 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.1
I can't even get the user agreement to load.
