Ratings and reviews

It's okay. Dark mode doesn't always function (eg. Text stays black instead of being changed to white). Large uploads don't work most of the time, so for classes requiring video uploads, I have to run the video through another program to downgrade the quality, or split it into chunks. Back button doesn't always go one page back. But it's way better than having to log in via the website because the password timeout is short for me, and nav is much better via the app than the browser on a phone.

Does the job. Don't recommend completing any coursework through the app because the UI components can be a but funky. Great for viewing course content on the go/for quick reference, and tracking your grades as they come up. It would be nice if a Canvas page had an option to open in the browser (I was watching a video, and it didn't go Fullscreen like I wanted so I had to pull canvas up in my web browser instead)

The app works fine for getting a basic overview of things, like checking what's due and what your grades are, but too much of it doesn't work right. Assignments with long explanations only show the first few paragraphs, text post assignments don't tell you what the prompt is, dark mode consistently makes text unreadable, etc. Pretty much the only thing it's good for is telling me whether or not I need to open my computer to get a better look at what's going on. Don't expect to get any work done!
