Pretty awful !Does not have all or any of the info you will need!.Version: 1.1908.1614

Organization amazingThis app helps me be much more organized in terms of accessing my school work!.Version: 1.2002.2291

NOTIFICATIONSPlease fix the notifications!!! You have such a good app but recently the notifications have stopped working and I’m missing out on important information and grades!!.Version: 1.2111.0

A great appReliable and fast with good features.Version: 1.2205.1

AudioIt’s great but I wish it had an audio option for when I’m driving to work..Version: 1.2202.2

So convenient!I am really glad there is an app to keep up with classes! I can get alerts and it even lets me know when I have assignments due as long as the teachers put an update on them. The only thing is every time I want to access my digital book I have to login to my account again. Also it would be nice if the book could open in a new window with the ability to navigate from book to assignments. Right now you can only view one or the other. Other than that I think the app is very convenient and works well! To deal with the book thing I just log in on two devices. One has the book up and the other my assignments..Version: 2.2401.0

Great app but missing one thingI love the Pulse app, as it’s kept me on track for the most part. The only problem I have is the fact that discussion questions are not a part of the things that the app reminds you of. In truth, I am unsure if the professor has to set discussions in the reminder, or if this is a step that the app is missing. You’ll get an alert for every other type of assignment, but not for discussions. Depending on the class, discussion questions may be a huge part of your grade. While it shows up within your D2L portal, it doesn’t show up in the app, so make sure you pay attention to your syllabus if it doesn’t show up for you..Version: 1.2304.0

Love the app but I need HELP!Good morning! I am currently a college student enrolled with Lone Star College Courses. I downloaded the pulse app to better help me keep track of due dates also to allow me to have access to the LSCS Launch Homepage as well. It works beautifully and it has helped me tremendously but it all of sudden signed me out. But unfortunately, I woke up this morning to find out that the app had completely signed me out. I assumed it would be an easy fix, things happen but then it said that my actions were not supported. I had correctly followed all of the steps, choose LSCS D2L as my organization, I certainly used my correct login info. I was even on the app yesterday night and it worked like a charm. But today not so much. It would mean a lot if I could get assistance with this issue. I provided below a screenshot of what was on my screen after I attempted to sign in..Version: 1.2208.4

Good but needs workThis is a great app and it has a lot of features like the checklist on the calendar. I believe to get the best rating, notifications of when things are due should be sent straight to your phone. The main thing is you should be able to check your grades. I can easily go to the link on my phone and I don’t want the app to just guide me there. When I found out there was an app I put all my peers on it and I was kinda disappointed because they didn’t have these things. But I believe this can be fixed and it will be a phenomenal app..Version: 1.17.7

Not receiving Notifications!!!!!!Please fix the notifications as it is not coming up in the notification bar and not being able to see news items and missing out on information from teachers..Version: 1.2110.0

Lets hope I don't fail my second year5/7.Version: 1.13.1

HeyStill a bit complicated to find things.Version: 2.2309.0

Stopped Working, but FixedThis app is really good, I love how it notifies my phone so I actually see updates. Otherwise I’d have to remember to log in and check for updates. Never really had a problem with it until recently. I got notifications when things were posted/updated/etc. but I couldn’t see it in the app. My notification tab wouldn’t update, it’s like it was stuck. It wouldn’t let me see assignments or anything from my notifications, just said there’s a problem. Signing out and then back in fixed everything though..Version: 1.2304.0

Thumbs up from me 👍🏻I find it really helpful that I can quickly access my studies at the touch of a button. It’s handy if I’ve got 15 minutes spare or I quickly want to check something..Version: 1.2010.3071

Doesn’t work anymoreI’ve had this app for a few years because of high school and college. Recently, it’s stopped working. Every time I go into the app to check a grade (it still sends notifications that I have something upgraded) it tells me that they is no notification and that the app is down. Now when I use it on my laptop, it works perfectly fine. It’s very unhelpful when I need to look at something quickly on it and it doesn’t load for me. I have tried so many times to exit the app and then go back into it and I check if it needs updating but it doesn’t so i dont know what the issue is..Version: 1.2303.0

Great App Bad UpdateLast semester I loved the pulse app. It kept me all together and organized. This semester it has done an update and the now the graph where is shows your work to be done is all wrong. It is showing all of my work for all my classes for the entire semester. I understand this is a setting that I have to fix however, I’ve tried to go to settings and fix it but the pictures it shows you as a demonstration aren’t right. The list they picture doesn’t exist. I’m really disappointed because I loved this app so much..Version: 1.2301.0

MsI hope there will be new upgrades.Version: 1.2010.3071

Great but not adequateIt’s such a great apps for updates my studies on BrightSpace, it has a wonderful notification system and layout! However, some of the functions from the website are missing when you use the apps, i.e., discussion, chat, reading list, etc. as well as some digital bars don’t appear as animated as on website. You can consider and develop on those sides. In general, it’s a good apps. Thank the team!.Version: 1.2010.3071

Pretty goodThe app works really well, I just hoped I could actually download content off the app or print to a home printer off the app..Version: 1.2104.3256

Amazing!This app has allowed me to take my classes Mobile. I am not stuck behind a computer screen. I can do everything right from my phone. Utilizing the menu tab I can bring up the same exact screens I would get on the website. This allows me to keep up with my classes even through the busiest of days. The ability to respond to discussion questions, review material in the Unit, rubrics, live grade updates, and so much more is unmatched. I honestly would have enrolled in school earlier had I known it could be this easy..Version: 1.2208.8

Wonderful applications and easy to useI really like this apps because it makes my study much easy and provide all the materials I need..Version: 1.2103.3216

So much better to navigate than the stupid Holmesglen websiteSlick and intuitive compared to the webpage. Far superior. If only my chosen institution would accept submissions from the App..Version: 1.2111.0

Good but not greatI love the convenience of having my schedules, grades, and coursework available in an easy-to-use app, but I’ve been having issues that make the app difficult to use. After 2-3 months of using the app, it seems like I no longer receive updated information displayed from Brightspace. My assignments aren’t being updated, I can’t see grades as they are inputted into the grade book, and my content doesn’t load. The only solution I’ve found is to delete and redownload the app. I’ve had to do this 2 or 3 times already and it’s getting quite annoying..Version: 1.2304.0

ExcellentThis is the best app to access to the study guides.Version: 1.11

Life saverThis has literally been a holy grail for me! I’m in week 2 of nursing school going on week 3. I have 3 classes technically 4 but one has 2 parts. When I tell you, I’m constantly checking when they upload my grades. My professor sent out a reminder to read our critical thinking assessment guide and I was able to make my cards read all the tips and make small notes to go over. If I didn’t read the update as soon as I got it I would not have been prepared or known to read the additional resource before coming to class this Thursday and now I feel confident and prepared to keep pushing with my classes. Love love LOVE this app!!!!🥹🫶🏾.Version: 2.2310.496

Does the bare minimumThis app does not let you actually do the course work and view course content in the app! It’s only for checking on grades, due dates, assignments, etc. I think if there was a list view of the assignments due or a calendar that would be great. Also, it’s not great on dark mode; you can’t really see the check marks beside the assignments. Please make the entire website into an app one day!.Version: 1.2006.2744

IPad?This is great to use on my iPhone. In the Notification area courses are color coded, icons are clearly defined, lead-in marker to access further information about particular notifications had never had any issues. The Course listings are easy to navigate...provided the educators plug everything in correctly. I’m really hoping there’s an iPad version available or coming soon. It would be nice to pull up the app and have it work to it’s full potential instead of a minimized screen and appearing somewhat pixelated when enlarged (still doesn’t access the full screen). This is the only reason I didn’t award 5 stars..Version: 1.1907.1512

Very good and clear :)Very user friendly and clear to use..Version: 1.2101.3149

Pulse is greatI never miss uploaded work or grade posted from school. As a college student pulse is a life saver. Some people have so much going on in life especially when you have kids, husband, and daily activities you don’t always log into your school portal you really forget!!!!! Thank God for pulse It let’s me know when I need to log in, what has been uploaded from my instructors, and my grades. It contributes to me being a successful student andddddd it’s free. You don’t always have money for some of the things you need for school. So during the pandemic I have had to stop working, purchase tons of things for school that I REALLY NEEDED. So life is going is so many different directions and pulse is a blessing to me I tell everyone about it . I am soooo grateful to the creator of pulse . You been one of my go to apps for two years and counting. Thank you so much for being free . College students NEED and LOVE this pulse app...Version: 1.2010.3071

Decent CompanionDecent companion, but it’s missing a lot of the big essential parts of the website. It would be nice to connect to instant messages on the app, since instant messages are usually known for being a mobile thing anyway. Watching virtual classroom recordings on the website is also a big pain. The screen is tiny on my MacBook so that it’s impossible to look at slides without going full screen, which prohibits be from typing notes or doing other things. I wish the app would have a feature for watching these recordings, hopefully more convenient to use. I get that it’s a very simple app, but it has so much potential that it seems a shame not to build on it..Version: 1.2003.2353

H.KAwesome app! I was able to access my uni lectures & study on the phone. Very convenient. I study while working using this app. Would totally recommend for anyone who wants to do extra study out of library & without the use of computers..Version: 1.17.6

Good AppHave been using for over a week now. No problems..Version: 1.2010.3071

Incredible PortabilityDue to the app being on my phone I can take it anywhere and do my course anytime. It has been a great aid in keeping me focussed..Version: 2.2401.635

Portland Community College HereI am very happy to have found a phone app that I can access Portland Community College D2L( Bright Space). I tried to access my college online courses on D2L app but couldn’t. No idea how it worked here but I am glad that I can access my online classes on Pulse. My time on public transit is utilized efficiently and it counts towards my studying time. I am on top of my assignments because just like any app, it sends me notifications. I wish if the tabs are to access grades and assignments in a way other than the notifications tab. Very helpful app though, and a life changer..Version: 1.15.0

Quick and easyHaving my units in my phone makes it so much easier to review exercises and extra work when I’ve got nothing else to do wherever I am. Definitely worth it if you don’t carry a laptop with you everywhere..Version: 1.2207.0

GreatEasy to use, love the access to all my unites and documents. However, I don't get notifications? I've re-installed the app, turned the settings for notifications on and off numerous times but still nothing. Hope this is improved because it's a really great app!.Version: 1.13.1

Tumaini MuyobeNice app easy to use.Version: 1.2003.2388

You won’t be disappointed!!!Definitely my go to app for school. We all carry our cell phone so what better way to be able to check, read, and keep up with what’s going on in class then here on Pulse! It’s definitely saved me numerous times with completing school work when I’m not permitted to just have a laptop out in plain sight. Your already on your phone/devices all day anyway so why not stay connected and up to date. I e had this app going on three years for school and I have not ran into any problems..Version: 1.2304.0

Need better access to multiple kidsI can only see one kid without having to log out and log in again. Please make it easier to see multiple kids..Version: 1.2001.2182

Fine but more featuresThat app works but basic UI changes could help a lot such as smaller course tiles on ipad, left and right button to switch between learning resources content and an easier way to manage offline files..Version: 1.2003.2388

GreatSuper easy to use and works well on all devices.Version: 1.1911.1902

Fantastic AppI am so impressed with this app. I am doing a CeMAP course which is through LIBF and this app really helped me revise and practice the tests doing 10 questions for each subject. Really helped me pass and would thoroughly recommend anyone training to use it..Version: 1.2209.2

StudentI’m currently a Tafe Student and Pulse is actually a brilliant way to see what is due when as it can be hard to keep track on all assignments dated WOULD RECOMMEND HELP YOU BE ORGANISED 🤟🏽.Version: 1.17.4

Love this appIt is free and efficient. And I also love that is easy to use..Version: 1.2304.0

CrashesLikes to crash every time I click on the icon. So it’s essentially unusable.Version: 1.2211.1

StevenSimple and useful. What more do you need?!.Version: 1.2103.3216

Awesome App!!I love the Brightspace app as it makes it really easy to keep up to date in my courses. The notifications make it easy to see when new things have been posted or added to my courses. I use the timeline view to add my personal tasks to create a full view of my weekly schedule. Also, receiving grades is pretty cool. My buddies and I swipe to reveal at the same time and make a game out of getting our grades! Would definitely recommend giving it a shot..Version: 1.13.1

Great but not the BestI like that it alerts and notifies me of everything that’s posted but I wish it had a feature that allowed us to see which notifications we haven’t seen. I don’t think it would help very many out but I’d definitely give the app a more polished and refined impression. As well as discard any notifications that the no longer exist on the actual online website if the professor took it down. I haven’t had the AP for two long but I wish there was a setting that allowed us to have a bit more control over which tasks we could set so stand reminders for like if we have a test coming up and we could set a reminder for every other day at 7pm so we could remember to study..Version: 1.2009.2966

Very very niceFinally an app that doesn’t complicate like most other apps do. Easy to use. Clean functionally. Love it..Version: 1.2006.2744

PulsePulse is a great way to access my work especially while we are not at school! Occasionally there are a few technical difficulties but apart from that it is a very useful app..Version: 1.2003.2388

Great for when it worksNotifications just out of the blue seemingly stopped working. Yes, I’ve checked my app settings and the iOS settings but still no apparent resolution and re-downloaded. Otherwise, fantastic for when it works as intended..Version: 1.2111.0

My school turned it onI'm seeing people saying they couldn't log on. My tutor said that my school turned Pulse on as part of Brightspace at the school and it works! Ask your school to turn it on!.Version: 1.13.1

Many BugsAnd I cannot send feedback for the bugs If they fix them the app in the mobile will be excellent.Version: 1.1904.1314

Very helpfulYou can use it any where any time . No need a computer ,just using your phone ...Version: 1.2001.2182

Loves itSo convenient for me as I am always forgetting that I have assessments due and when they’re due. You’ll love it too.Version: 1.1906.1444

Can’t access contentPlease fix as I can’t access my subjects thanks.Version: 1.2304.0

Amazing app, but some persistent issuesThis app is amazing! I’m a student at Daytona State, and it truly does help get around your courses. However, as many reviews have already stated, you have to enter a browser to see pretty much anything. That does get a little but annoying. You should be able to see more within the app; otherwise, the app is completely pointless. As it stands, you’d be better off going online. The setup and navigation of this app is great, though, and it does help to get notifications on my phone since (admittedly) I’m on it a bit more than I should be..Version: 1.2105.0

PulseThe app is great I like how it pulls up my course right away once I log in. The program is really easy to use and I like that it functions like other apps by giving me push notification on my phone when my grade are updated or someone responds to a post i suscribe to. I wish they had a function to go to the next lesson when reading assignments. Currently you have to exit the reading material and then scroll back down and move forward. Secondly the app updated frequently and requires you to log back in multiple times. Other than those two minor inconveniences the app is great..Version: 1.2301.0

Love the ‘work to do function’Love the work to do function and events. Easy to see what’s due. Needs a way to filter out just your class notifications. There’s just way to many notifications coming through from other campuses. I’ve turned off all of my emails for this reason too..Version: 1.1903.1262

PulseFantastic to have access to my course information through my phone.Version: 1.2005.2645

GoodGood app always staying on top. Can’t use apple pen to write notes or highlight on the study text..Version: 1.2010.3071

Efficient and easyThis app is great for receiving notifications and schoolwork from Tafe and courses it is efficient and easy to use and very self-explanatory.Version: 1.2101.3149
