About this app

Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect – inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate and stay organised.

There are many benefits to using Classroom:
• Easy to set up – teachers can add students directly or share a code with their class to join. It takes just minutes to set up.
• Saves time – the simple, paperless assignment workflow allows teachers to create, review and mark assignments quickly, all in one place.
• Improves organisation – students can see all of their assignments on an assignments page, and all class materials (e.g. documents, photos and videos) are automatically filed into folders in Google Drive.
• Enhances communication – Classroom allows teachers to send announcements and start class discussions instantly. Students can share resources with each other or provide answers to questions on the stream.
• Secure – like the rest of Google Workspace for Education services, Classroom contains no ads and never uses your content or student data for advertising purposes.

Ratings and reviews

While the website works perfectly fine the Google Classroom mobile app can be very buggy and slow. More times than not, when I have to upload a photo and I press the camera option, the picture does not save, even though I press the check mark, and the app returns me to the home page. This bug has been infuriating for over a year now.

This app is normally great. However, others and I are having problems with our accounts on this app. Every time we try to log in, it sends us back to the get started page. As you could guess, this makes the app unusable. I am very disappointed to see others mentioning this months ago with no resolution to our problem. Furthermore, you have responded to those reviews that metion this problem.

It quit working and now just loops back to the "Get Started" screen. Clearing cache and data, restarting, reinstalling...nothing works. No updates are available. Google Help forums suggest picking the right account (I only have one). Classroom works fine in a browser, just not the app. I want my $0 back 😕 Update: Google's response tells me they don't actually bother reading the reviews.
