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

Been using this for a while just dealing with the bugs that come with it, but recently I couldn't access any of the classes off of my phone. Kept saying to check my internet connection despite me being at full bars on WiFi and data. Uninstalled and reinstalled to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. Now I can't access that account at all on my phone, not just the classes.

It keeps saying I have missing assignments even though my teacher has graded them. It only does it on the app, the computer version is completely up to date. Definitely needs a dark theme. Things need to be easier for teachers and even add a tutorial for teachers or a frequently asked questions section. The layout of the app is also super confusing and overly complicated.

When the app actually works, it's a great app. Helps me stay ontop of my work without having to remember to check my computer. Unfortunately, it seems to never work. Class room hasn't been able to load anything new for almost a month for any of my classes, so I don't get any notifications and need to constantly check my computer. Other than that, assignments that I turned in would unsunmit themselves, or take forever to turn in. The app has been really useful to me, but now it's useless
