College Board's Bluebook app crashes, loses data

My son took the AP English exam today. Out of 217 students, Bluebook completely lost the data for 31 students. They now have to retake the exam, ironically, in an actual paper bluebook using pencils. Why doesn't Bluebook have local storage of data for these situations?

    Probably because it’s badly coded and if they did, it’s be open to exploits.

    Education software is universally such shit tier it makes Jira look good.
