I have some experience with using the Blackboard App (if that’s what you were referring to) on an i. Pad and I’ve ALWAYS had better experiences just using Google Chrome or Safari to open Blackboard on my i, and pad. I use a 9.7” i. Pad Pro with an Apple Pencil.
One question we ran across in our research was “Should blackboard be updated for mobile devices?”.
The makers of blackboard desperately need to update it for mobile devices since college students these days are so reliant on them. Especially now that Apple is marketing the i. Pad Pro as a computer replacement.
It’s also nice if you want to pour coffee for a living. I haven’t read the other replies here, but the blackboard app is trash, and you can’t take blackboard quizzes in any browser on i. OS, not even safari. The makers of blackboard desperately need to update it for mobile devices since college students these days are so reliant on them.
How do I install the Blackboard Collaborate mobile app?

Where did the blackboard come from?
America’s fast-growing railroad system assured that by the middle of the 19th century, almost every classroom in America had a blackboard, mostly using slate shipped from quarries in Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and Virginia. Businesses also started using them in their boardrooms.
In 1801, the rather obvious solution to the problem made its debut. James Pillans, headmaster and geography teacher at the Old High School in Edinburgh, Scotland, is credited with inventing the first modern blackboard when he hung a large piece of slate on the classroom wall.
By 1840 blackboards were manufactured commercially, smoothly planed wooden boards coated with a thick, porcelain-based paint. In the 20 th century, blackboards were mostly porcelain-enameled steel and could last 10 to 20 years. Imagine that, a classroom machine so durable and flexible.
Another common question is “How did the invention of the blackboard affect the classroom?”.
Some think that the invention of the blackboard had an enormous impact on classroom efficiency. Due to their simplicity, effectiveness, economy and ease of use, the simple blackboard and its cousin the whiteboard have substantial advantages over any number of more-complex modern technologies.
