Piazza

There’s a lot good about Piazza, but the terrible image issues in this app mean more often than not, I have to use the web version on my iPad or just go view things on my Mac. It would be very simple for them to add the ability to tap on an image and view it full screen (with the ability to pinch zoom). The fact that they haven’t added this over the many, many months that this app has been out makes it feel abandoned.

Piazza is a fantastic resource in all of my classes, but I have been disappointed by the mobile app. Instructor answers to follow up questions are not highlighted, the editor for creating a new question/ responding to a question is very clunky and lacks nearly all of the formatting options provided on desktop, and the overarching interface feels more like a half-baked mobile website than a dedicated app. Really hoping this is updated and improved at some point.

Piazza is a valuable tool for many classes but the app is crashing very frequently with iOS 13. Specifically, the app crashes when composing a response to a question and then does not save the draft of the response so one has to start over. This is very inconvenient.

Not flashy at all, but the functionality is perfect and it makes my life SO MUCH EASIER. Now I can actually stay up to date with posts and not have to surf through hundreds of posts when an assignment is due. Truly magnificent for productivity. Wish I could do more than give 5 stars.

The app works, but it has a long way to go. For one, I can’t print PDF files attached to posts. Instead, I have to long-press and copy the link in order to paste in Safari and print from there. This is unnecessarily complicated – just about every other app lets you print files as long as they can open.
