Needs a lot of improvement
Im actually rather disappointed. The program runs fine for me and everything, but I find that it majorly lacks functionality.
Firstly, on the left hand side there is a list of assignments due, but it will by default show what assignments are due today. That seems rather silly as the reason I bought this app was to keep organized and stay ahead of my classes, I want to be able to see all my upcoming assignments. I can do that in the "List" tab, but that means I have to view a messy UI (at least in comparison to the "Detail" tab).
Also, it feels like it was rather pointless to have my classes listed on the side when they seem to simply be there for nothing more than aesthetic purposes. Having the courses sitting on the side does nothing for me other than remind me what courses Im taking. I would have liked to have been able to click one of the courses and saw a list of the assignments due for that course, organized by first due, instead of the due date list on the far left that you have to scroll through to find out whats due.
I found the process of adding teachers very silly, requiring unnecessary jumping around. I have to add the course and then midway through adding the course I have to go to the teachers tab and add the teachers name and info there. It just seems to make much more sense that when I click add teacher I can put all of the teachers information in there. Maybe theres another reason that you did this that Im not aware of, but I feel like it was a waste of time for me to have to find a different way to add the teacher.
I guess my biggest complaint is the fact that the "Detail" screen seems so skimped out when thats the most aesthetically pleasing, but had the least functionality. Please do something with the functionality and I will give this a 5 star rating. For $3 Im not too upset as it works relatively well, but I still feel it needs at least these things worked on for it to do what its supposed to.
