Brightspace Pulse - Latest Quality Issues

Update was bad
After the big update, opening a class or checking a grade will open another window and take me directly to the website. Before the update, it did all of that in the app itself. The update now takes you to the website browser and opens a new window for each thing you want to look at. Not a fan of the update. Just gonna go back to using my laptop at this point.

Please update dark mode icon for iOS 18
I like that this app makes it slightly easier to view [phone]L content on mobile. However, I have a minor request: Could the developers please update the app icon so that there is a dark mode available as per Apple's guidelines for iOS 18? Right now, this app sticks out like a sore thumb, it doesn't match the rest of my school-related apps. So I put Pulse on the second page to hide it, meaning I don't use it as much. So if you want more users to consider this app as a part of their must-have school app repertoire, please consider allowing for a dark mode option.

Use a web browser instead!
All this app is doing when clicking on course content is opening an external web browser to show the material. How is this app offering more value than a web browser then? I used to access all the reading material and info on the app last semester, but now I feel better off starting from the course webpage.

Does not allow access to other devices
You can only log in on one device, it doesn't let you, it says that the maximum number of active sessions has been reached, if you open it from the computer browser it doesn't let you see the BrightSpace in pulse because it says that it has reached the maximum number of active sessions, and if I log in in pulse the same thing happens in the computer browser. I have to close all sessions in pulse (if it even lets you in), and delete the history. That's the only way it would let me in before, now it won't even let me in with that. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me in a weekend, it's tedious I know this situation happens all the time.

I'm disappointed in the latest update that takes you completely out of the app's old api usage and sends you to an internet browser. That defeats the purpose of having an app. The only thing it's good for at this point is checking grades. This isn't useful at all.

Login page keeps saying stale request every single time, so the app is unusable.

I use this app for one semester and it worked wonderfully but now it's my second semester and I can't login I mean I can log in but it's I'm stuck on the browser and it told me to go to my college to see if they can fix it and they know nothing about the app because it's just what the college decided to use so they can't help me and you don't have an email and you don't have a phone number I can contact you with
