Ratings and reviews

So... This worked great. Solid, good UI, totally a 5-star app. Then I had the audacity to need it for courses at two schools at once. Instead of, say, keeping me logged in to both and letting me switch with a simple drop-down (like email apps and websites have for over 25 years) it instead logs me out of both after short periods of inactivity--say, the time it takes to read a section and take a short quiz on a publisher's app. 1-star for failing at basic credential management.

The app is incredibly slow. I would understand if it was something like many users using it in peak times, but it is slow for things that don't depend on other users, like typing a post or opening a menu for options. The sole purpose of canvas is to do online assignments, and I can't due to their atrocious performance. To add, my device isn't a problem because other apps with higher demand run fine.

The app works fine, I use it often to check things while I'm not at my computer. My biggest gripe is when changing my dashboard to new semesters there are still groups from three or four semesters ago that are impossible to remove, I do not have their Stars selected but yet they still show up on my dashboard and it is very annoying to me.
