Crashes in seconds every time I start it
The has been fine until an upgrade to the student/teacher discrete versions - for some reason my iPad restore installed and upgraded to the student version by default from the icloud backup even though I am a teacher. This crashed every time I started it. I uninstalled the student version and then installed the teacher version but with the same result. I have tried several restarts and whatnot but no joy. I have created a support ticket and if Instructure can resolve this I will modify my review, but until I have a non crashing app I am afraid it’s ‘nul points.’

Really hoped this would be good
This app would be so useful if it was good, but unfortunately it isn’t. The grading feature is so lacking in features that I end up back on my laptop for almost every Canvas function.
It also crashes periodically on my iPad Pro with iOS 11.

Great App
This is a great app for teachers to mark rubrics and leave feedback in a practical environment. Very good for creating announcements on the go or checking messages!
Added some great features but lost others
I have been waiting for the ability to annotate student papers with my Apple Pencil for a long time. I'm so excited about that and it seems to work pretty well. I have lost, though, the ability to leave voice or media comments from my iPad. That is a feature I use with every paper I assign, so I really hope that comes back soon. I also had a hard time getting a grade to save. This particular assignment I was just marking rough drafts as complete or incomplete. I hit the + to add a grade, selected "complete" from the menu, but then had to push the + again to save it. It took me a while to figure out why nothing was saving. It seemed a little awkward. I like the direction this app is going, but I had to go back and reinstall the old SpeedGrader app in order to accomplish what I needed to get done. EDIT AFTER SOME MORE USE: I also realized after grading a whole batch of essays that some of my handwritten annotations are missing! There are times when only a few words of a whole sentence are there when I go back in or when students look on their end. NO!! Waste of time!!
