Great dating app!

Canvas is the most effective dating platform I have ever used. Met my girlfriend on here four years ago!

Also very convenient that you can also submit homework and stuff on here too. Cool feature, but I’m not really sure why it’s necessary for that sort of integration.

Good app but can’t multitask

Uni uses this site but my major issue is that you can ‘t have multiple files open at the same time like you can with apps like good notes. It makes it really hard to bounce between slides and practice problems without a computer .

Requesting new simple feature

Hi Canvas Team,

I am writing this to request a new feature for Canvas.

Most of the time lecturers put down a list of weekly Tasks on Canvas.

And was wondering if it can be changed to have a tick box that student then can tick or untick just for themselves

I had to copy and paste every single list of task from different courses each week from Canvas (web or the app) onto my Task manager such as Apple Reminders App.

It would be nice to just have that tick boxes built in on Canvas for student to use

the idea is that Lecturers will write down the tasks that they think should be done

And then students can see them and use tick boxes inside Canvas directly to mark if an item has been completed, students wont be able to create new tasks on their own

Thank you,
Dan

Annoying Notifications!

This app will not allow me to see any comments in the discussion tab after I have posted a comment. It notifies me that further comments have been posted, but it will not allow me to read them.
The navigation of this app is not straightforward and it is incredibly difficult to read in-submission comments on the app.
