About this app

Traditionally, parents seeking information about their students' progress had to sift through assignment planners, email instructors, or wait for report cards. But the wait is over! Canvas Parent is designed to provide visibility into your child's education at a glance. Canvas Parent allows parents to:

• View assignment descriptions and due dates
• Set reminders for assignments
• View assignment grades
• View course grades
• Set grade alerts
• View course announcements

Important: This mobile app is only usable by parents whose children attend schools that have enabled Canvas Parent.

Ratings and reviews

I get 30 to 50 emails per day. The notification settings in the app affect only the app itself and not email notifications, for that I need to login on a computer but my login credentials only work on the app and never on any other device. When I try to reset my password, it shows that an email has been sent, but nothing ever comes, not even to a spam folder. Zero customer support. Zero answers. Dear God make the horror stop!

Trying to sign up and I can't type into the password field. Makes it impossible to create an account. Update: got in but leaving the score at over star. App is very hard to use, no clear way to see assignments due today and the calendar has no consistency on what it shows. It is like they don't even try to think about the end user. Really poorly thought out.

This app is required by the school district to help us keep an eye on our child's grades through the semester. The app itself is okay at best, with a vanilla interface that needs some work to provide better separation between elements. But the main reason for two stars is that the end goal is to understand how our child did for the semester. However the app automatically rolls over to the next semester before final grades are in, and there is no way to navigate back to see their final grade.
