It's very useful and helpful and keeps me organized, but I have one thing I don't like as much. Taking quizzes and tests is not very easy and I have had times where my test is missing answers that I've filled out, affecting my score. Other than that, it's great!

Jo Bourne

This app seems to be very glitchy. I frequently have to go to my instructors to fix my tests because the app either submitted blank questions or incorrect answers. I'm also having issues with receiving my school emails on this app. Several other students in my classes have this same issue. I use both a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active and the S3 Note

Jonathan Snow

A little polish would go a long way. Push notification behavior is inconsistent. Most of the time, tapping on a Canvas notification in your notification pane does not load that notification, but just opens the app to the first screen. However once in a while, it does load it (weird). The other thing that bugs is it's difficult to find any explanation as to the differences of push notifications (discussion, discussion post, all submissions, conversation, etc.). I'll probably figure this one out over time, but some question mark icon with an explanation next to the options would be great.

Can't log into Webstar, Canvas, or use most of the resources links after last update! it shows them as locked. I try to log in but says invalid. I know for sure I'm inputting the right info. was working great before update

Paul Ruediger

While the app is nice for on the go, I have a few issues with it. The course list does not update itself with each term. For example, my dashboard still list course(s) from Summer 2016. The interface sometimes presents me a with an incompatible "browser" presenting the quiz I want to take instead of just allowing me to take a quiz. If it is possible for an instructor to disallow taking a quiz on a phone, then Canvas needs to indicate so and degrade gracefully.

Caitlin Carle

Frustrated that after a recent update, the text field when in a reply (specifically a reply, not a new message), doesn't allow predictive text. It seems to be interpreted (by all keyboards on my phone) as a non-predictive field. Makes typing back to students cumbersome.

Almost perfect, it doesn't show all courses as far as upcoming and classes that have already been takin. Fix this error and I assure you, you will get many 5 stars to come

Sam Nemati July 5, 2017

Terrific app, makes me realize how much better Canvas is from blackboard! Pretty straightforward to navigate, and I can easily view grades and due dates.

David Simmons July 18, 2017

It does not work on my tablet. So if I want to do my school work I have to carry my laptop around.

Rose Ruff July 9, 2017

Good for emergency, but it is not easy to write a response in it. And how about adding a spell checker? And a flying superbear icon? This is not preschool. It seems odd.

FOJ FOJ July 15, 2017

Please make a one button solution to making Galaxy s5 phone be a way to use Canvas because I haven't taken a computer class yet to figure out how to set up my browser and how to block pop ups and how/which software to install to make it work.

July 17, 2017

No support for Groups?! It's a great app but this totally kills it. I absolutely have to access the groups tab for some of my classes so it destroys my mobile experience.

robert alvarez July 11, 2017

Not sure if it's my device. But not once have I been receiving notifications from my instructors. I've missed class re-schedules, assignment updates, as well as direct messages. Please fix.

A.J. Guest July 15, 2017

Window freeze, pages are not completed, integrating sucks and I often have to close the app for reasons I dont know because it freezes up my phone.

Gloria H July 14, 2017

Unable to paste text to post on discussions. So i cant transfer files to post on classroom. Fix it please!!!

Lan Hu July 22, 2017

The app won't connect when I'm using data, which means I can't really use it when traveling.
