Piazza

Largely useless. Doesn't provide a rich text editor and doesn't even correctly mark a post as being edited (meaning your response can be changed out from under you). You're better off using safari.

I like the easy access this app affords, but I am unable to view any links or images in a post from within the app - I need to open up a web browser to do this. Could this be fixed?

This app is great for participating in discussions with my course mates, but it gives no way to access my class' resources (i.e. all the lecture and tutorial material for my course). I still need to visit the website each time I want to use this platform making the separate app redundant. I hope this access will be a (near) future development, in which case this app will become worthwhile to me.

At the moment the app does not have as much functionality as the web version. Looking forward to that changing in the next update.

App crash every time I try to open it after the latest update. Please fix it!

I have given up on trying to use this app. Every time I want to use it to look at Piazza on my phone, I try to log in only to get vague “Please authenticate” errors. I then try to authenticate by going down and authenticating through my institution (horrible UI by the way - why even have a sign in if won’t work without a completely separate sign in). But yet, this doesn’t work either - I successfully sign in only to get stuck at an “Authenticating” page. As it is, even once in, the app is extremely buggy and crashes often. It seems like it’s mostly an embedded webpage of Piazza, which is already an unstable and bloated web service. So, as I said, I’ve given up. I just sign in through Canvas on my phone now and look at the embedded Piazza page there. It’s definitely not ideal, but hey, nothing about Piazza is.

hate how you cant see the amount of good questions like in the website. also the ui is lowkey doodoo unlike the website where you can actually scroll properly. also add dislike button for when someone replies to your question with the most useless response ever.

I hope you like signing in every single day because piazza sure likes when you do.

The only feature of this app that’s worth your time is number on the icon that shows how many unread posts there are at a glance. Beyond that: - it crashes often as soon as you hit create a post - it will let you spend minutes writing a reply, then delete it with an error message when you hit post. Looking through the reviews I’m puzzled as to why Piazza has not fixed these problems. One of my students could do this as a summer project.

I have never found an app this badly made and yet so widely used. It’s slow and although it shows information that is useful sometimes the cons out way the pros. First of all why is it that when I upload pictures it either doesn’t work or takes years. And not only that why are they only distinguishable by DATE. Literally code them by pic 1 and pic 2 would be infinitely more useful. Why would you choose this. Also why is everything so slow. Like seriously.
