  • Worst App

    Making you log in every time you open the app is so annoying. It also needs to do a better job of sending notifications before the assignment is do. Canvas is better and I don’t know why people us this.
  • annoying sign in

    it logs you out every single time you use the app. then you need to navigate through 8 different portals. i’ve had some wi-fi issues before, and it took me 30 MINUTES to log in. that is unacceptable.
  • Literally useless, web version is better

    You can’t do anything. You can’t submit regrades, view incorrect problems/feedback, all you can do is see that something is graded or not. Why even have an app? It also does not remember the sign in details so you have to enter the school and login manually every single time. Pretty poor development, but then again education doesn’t get the funding it deserves does it?

  • Camera scan issues

    As far as I can tell the biggest motive to get this is to directly upload work to gradescope without using an intermediary like adobe scan, but unfortunately the scanning functionality is very poor. It gets out of focus easily and there is no good way to make it refocus so it just stays out of focus until it wanders back into focus. It is also bad at picking up writing in various lighting conditions, so as far as I can tell this app is just a waste of time.

  • Lifechanging

    I love gradescope 😍
  • Fine app but logging in is super frustrating

    The actual UI isn't bad and the app is far easier to use than scanning a pdf and uploading on a PC, but the biggest issue with this app is that you end up going through numerous different login portals every time you open the app.

    If I want to submit an assignment, I need to first select what school I am attending in a super long list of schools, then I have to log in through my schools portal, and sometimes I get a 2FA prompt on top of that. Occasionally it just doesn't even work and I have to start from square one. Now this might be mildly annoying but it's really exacerbated by the fact that every time I need to upload an assignment I have to go through this process again. After spending several hours on an assignment it's so frustrating to have to browse through several menus just to upload a PDF.

    I get it's probably for security but I don't need NSA level protection for my PDF uploader. If someone really wanted to hack into my account and upload my homework for me so be it. If this issue was resolved I'd instantly give this app five stars because otherwise it's a great application.

  • Does not work on ipad

    This does not work on my ipad.
    Simply useless for me to only be able to grade on my desktop.
  • Horrible.

    Doesn’t remember sign in, this happens on pc too, what a STUPID FEATURE. My uni also has 2FA so signing into this garbage program always takes 10 years. It also cannot even show you questions on the app and redirects you to your web browser if you try (seriously, why even have a mobile app?) this program is an embarrassment and it blows my mind that my university even uses it. Trash.

  • I cannot login

    The web version works fine, but somehow the mobile version doesn't even have my school. I go to NYU, not a small school by any means.
  • iPad II

    This app doesn’t adapt to iPads so IPad users are stuck using a phone screen as an app. It’s probably less useful than just linking the webpage to the Home Screen
