Moodle for Android

At my previous college Canvas was the website we used. It’s was a lot easier to use and not as confusing.

As the title says, the latest Moodle update seems cleaner and more organized, but it’s hard to figure out where the class content is. If you’re trying to submit your posts via this app, the light gray background against white characters makes it extremely hard to see what you’re typing. Overall, whoever provided quality control missed some very annoying mistakes.

The app helps a lot to be able to access your study stuff when traveling or on the move. And I find this a real valuable thing as it helps with keeping your planning on track

FIRST I want to say that I love that the "There are no discussions yet in this forum" button no longer prevents me from expanding the discussion prompt. The reat of my review starts here: Someone woke up and thought: "Let's make the layout more compact and move everything into menus where they aren't just readily available where people don't have to search to find it! :D" Why though? Now it takes longer to find my course content and it's a lot less easy-on-the-eyes than it was before. I'm keeping it at 3 because I still need it for school, when I can find stuff. Even on the Dashboard, there's just an empty space under the classes and you still have to pull out the sidebar to find anything that used to be there except squished into a box that isn't quite as wide as the screen.. Because I sure do love my mostly blank pages. The courses I might be able to get used to. The huge course title covering half the screen and making it awkward to scroll is annoying for now but not enough to complain too much I guess and I'll probabl get used to it eventually. The new layout of the courses isn't that bad, just new. Someone distracting, but not entirely nonsensical for the most part.

I am a big fan of the redesign; it makes the app feel and run smoother! The side arrow that follows you through the pages for the side menus, however, is not it and not a suitable placement. I am a student, so this is just my perspective but coming from the old iterations of the app, I would have to default to using the website, and now the app is more usable, and the thing I needed to use the website for I can complete in the app without problem. It would be nice to see better push notification integration. Overall the redesign is giving me high hopes because I thought the creators were just gone and left to fix just simple significant errors, but that’s about it. This is a nice change! Where design is being addressed but as well functionality was not a second thought to design.
