Great app, could use minor update
I absolutely love this apps usability. I just have a couple suggestions to make it a little more user friendly. Not sure if this matters, but I go to Ashford University. First, it would be nice to have your own posts displayed at the top of each discussion, so they are easier to locate. Instead of having to scroll down through every other post just to find your own. Second, although the notifications are nice, they can also be a bit annoying. Especially since clicking on the notification does not take you directly to the specific reply of that post. It simply takes you into the app and then you have to “guess” who commented and on which post. Those are my only two suggestions/complaints. Other than that, the app is awesome! Fix these two things and I’ll change my rating to 5 stars.

Works pretty good. I like using it, and do.
I definitely get benefit from using this app for three classes now. Starting on the 4th. I gave it 5 stars because it is useful. Recommendations for improvement include: the Echo 360 videos do not have audio on my iPad; the People section does not have the groups; power point slides get rendered a little off, but good enough, and there is a way to copy to Power Point for IOS so that is ok. Pretty good integration with Office and OneDrive on IOS; the discussions it would be nice to have a toggle to a view with all reply’s expanded, then back again to only top level posts to be drilled down into. The first two made it so I had to lug my personal laptop on business trips in order to do all I needed for the classes. Still, I found this app worthwhile. Keep on improving it so that it can be used equivalently to the full PC browser based version.

Mostly perfect
I really like this app. My only problem is the fact that I cannot view anything on the pages tab of the app which all my modules use. I don’t know what happens on screen because I’m using VoiceOver, but the screen has nothing that speech can detect, therefore, not being able to access any of the lecture material on my iPhone 7 right now. I think it’s a common problem with people using this app to generally be unable to read anything on the pages part. Not sure if I’m putting this in the right place, but it would make using this app so much more worthwhile if users didn’t have to go through a computer to simply glance at the lecture slides.

Soooo convenient
Great lil tool to have on your phone or device! Easy to use, keeps you up to date and can quickly view articles, books etc and read in iBook. Love it!!! 👌
Way better than Black Board
Idk if it's Canvas or my university, or both but canvas is way better then Blackboard. Everything is well organised, easy to find and runs nicely across all my devices. I find my self doing most of my content learning from my smartphone and just doing assignments on my laptop. This is great for me as I study online and am always on the go.

Love it, love it , love it
I love this program, the app as well. It's treated me well the past few years that I have been in college. If there's schools that use other programs, they should change to this one ! The ONLY issues I have are this :
One. I wish that with new upcoming semesters I would be able to look up all my classes like I can do on a computer and add them to my main page , as long as they are published and ready to be added. This isn't a big problem since I can always use the computer laptop to do this, but it would be nice to do on my phone.
Two. When I get notifications for files added and announcements, and I click in to it on my iPhone, it only brings me to the first page that you always are greeted with that just has all your classes and stuff. It would be really cool if from the phone we could click into that notification and be brought directly to that announcement, assignment, or whatever else.
Again, minor stuff that would be cool if changed, but LOVE CANVAS!
