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 organized.

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 organization – 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, never uses your content or student data for advertising purposes.

Ratings and reviews

Using the app on my phone is terrible. I constantly check my Google classroom on my phone but it has become a struggle. I can't even open the app without having to uninstall it and reinstall it. It has become very frustrating to use. Once or should I say IF I can get into the app I have little to no struggle. In the app it sometimes struggles to load a link that is posted. Google classroom can definitely improve first starting on allowing phones to load into the app.

After the latest update, the app won't launch, even after a reinstall. It used to give me mobile access to my courses, but even when it worked, the interface was difficult to use. Text was poorly formatted, buttons overlapped, features didn't work or were absent, and updates from instructors or classmates were delayed for hours or sometimes days before notification, if I ever got a notification. Needs a LOT of work and proper testing before release.

Needs to show when there is a comment made not just the notification bar, across all platforms. Mark it with a number or a dot or something where the comment has been made. Also needs to be more like the web version, the links teachers put in the "banner" does not show up in app. Links opening in different areas can be confusing, especially for the younger ones. For a big comapany expect so much more than this.
