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

Every time I open the app on my phone, it freezes. When I'm on the computer, it doesn't freeze, but almost every time on my phone, it freezes. This only started happening recently, but it means I can't access my classwork while on the move. It doesn't even say anything wrong with my page it just stays on the icon screen, and then even when I get off and on the app multiple times, it doesn't work. It's only some certain times it will randomly let me on without any problems after that.

The only good thing about this app is the aesthetics (perhaps). The rest is as abysmal as it gets. Notifications for announcements and assignments are inconsistent. No matter how fast the network, the app can't seem to get a move on. Classrooms are not always updated and you have to exercise some deliberation. Files for assignments take either too much time or to many attempts to be uploaded. The insistence by educators regarding the usage of this app is baffling.

At this point, I’m just fed up with the slow loading and constant freezing of the app. As a grad student, I can’t help but rely on it for my assignments, but whenever I open it, the app freezes — making me wait an eternity and forcing me to reopen it multiple times in the hope that it will finally load.
