• View assignment descriptions and due dates
• Set reminders for assignments
• View assignment grades
• View course grades

Update: The calendar finally started working but stopped again. I haven't been able to use it since January. It says, "There was an error loading your calendar." Once again, I have signed out and back in. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I gave it 2 stars because the calendar does not work. It just keeps telling me there was an error in loading my students calendar. I have refreshed it, Uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I still cannot get the calendar to work.

This app is impossible to work with. Shows classes that are not necessary and can not figure out a way to get rid of them. Personally I hate this app and the computer version.

Haven't been able to connect to my kid's account since July. School system can't figure out the issue apparently. When it works, it's useful.
