Bugs found in Edmodo for iOS
Edmodo is a social learning platform that equips teachers with all the necessary tools for efficient online education progress. Three account options are available: Teacher, Student, and a Parent one, each offering a different set of tools and opportunities to participate in a learning process. Moreover, the resource takes the functionality of social platforms and refines it to enhance teacher-student communication. The platform has already become a game-changer for many online classes worldwide, so we decided to give it a go and test it.
Edmodo is available on both major mobile platforms. QAwerk professionals ran some manual tests for the iOS version.

Edmodo brings everyone in the education community together to help learners succeed. QAwerk supports Edmodo’s noble mission, so we decided to help identify the bugs within. Sadly, the issues I found are mostly of major severity. The user experience is hindered by many error messages and app crashes.
