The App eliminated log in time which is good but inside look complicated
The app can just click without log in and enter password which is fast and good. I used to use ilearn; this is my first time using canvas. I found out iLearn is easier to see the course material because each assignment is divided into sections, and easier to distinguish different weeks and take a look at the layout of all course material. For each week ‘s homework, there is a check mark followed by it on ilearn, so that students can see which task is already done or checked and which is not so that they don’t have a clear idea of what should be looking at or rechecking next. Students have a lot of work to do, so they need a clear mind on the coursework and a more straightforward appearance to look at and check their homework. If everything looks the same, it is tough. canvas makes it much harder to see and arrange assignments. I use my phone to do my homework, I relay on my phone, and I think ilearn can help me get done and submit word documents, text, or pictures easier, I found out that using canvas made a big problem for me now, and I am having difficulties right now.

Canvas Aspire 2
I’m not alway able to access my course when logging on to Canvas or aspire2 web site.
Hopes via my phone will be a simpler way to study the course I’m on.

The many benefits
I love the app, helps me find assignments quick has a tab for me to check my grades and to check if the teacher put any announcements if their is a substitute. This app has helped me better my education and when I graduate hopefully help me through college. The app has many benefits and not gonna lie almost a better platform than Google Classroom, it was great to keep in touch with my classmates but not to keep organized. Google Classroom just listed assignments by date not category, with Canvas it has modules when the teacher say what unit subject we are on it help my whole class find the assignment in less than a second. I approve this app and suggest that all schools use it, and for those who has a kid with a personal computer for their homework I suggest you sign your kid up you will see a great improvement in their grades if they struggle and helps with the syllabus if the parent has the app so they can check their child’s grades and they can help the child through the course and help study. I am rating this app as a freshman in high school and I promise it makes such a great learning experience and makes school a lot easier. I rate this app a million out of ten.

Lack of Safari support
My child was having problem with jpg loading on his school pages. At first, the jpg pictures were just more for the improvement of the site aesthetic so we didn’t bother. Then one day there is an image on his quiz that he was suppose to analyze and answer. He CAN’T see the image. The image won’t download. It was a timed quiz and he wasn’t able to get the teacher to email him the image on such a short notice. I reported the problem to Canvas and then started googling the issues online. It turned out that this is a known issue for YEARS. I am in disbelief that this has not/cannot be fixed. Safari is not a no name niche browser. It shocks me that Canvas, also not a no name small educational platform, has no solution to this. After several days, I got a respond from Canvas, actually the online school IT, to say just use Chrome. Really?!?! We use Safari because of Screentime parental control. I DON’T want to use Chrome. I didn’t use Chrome on the my computer (without any monitoring filter) and the jpg still didn’t load in all instances. Canvas, get it together and work out the issue with Safari! We used Schoology all last year and had ZERO issues. This is totally unacceptable for such a popular platform. As a user, there is no customer support to speak of. No way to contact them except to fill out a form. I wouldn’t use this platform if I am the school admin making a decision on what technology to use.

Canvas App
Always lagging can never get into some categories like groups it freezes then shuts down no matter what I do. App is delayed with linking emails can’t even open them. No point in the app really when it is not functional ! Better to just go through the web. The app is useless !!
App gets stuck when I use the bottom 5 sections of the app
Title says it all! Randomly the app freezes whenever I’d use the bottom 5 sections (dashboard, calendar, to-do…) of the app
App has serious problem
this app has too many bugs to a point where it’s beginning to be annoying. the format is nice and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for nothing is hard to find it’s all easily locatable but majority of the time the app freezes right when i open it i can’t even use the app 8/10 times i attempt to when i open the app i see the dashboard but the screen doesn’t respond when i try to go to a different page or scroll up in down its just a broken app i got a up to date phone so that shouldn’t be the issue hopefully this gets taken care of because it would be so much easier to check school assignments if the app actually worked 100% of the time. When it doesn’t freeze immediately it usually runs smooth but the problem is it freeze way more than it actually works. i hope it’s just me that has to deal with this issue because i couldn’t understand how people would use this app regularly if it just freezes everytime like i don’t really see a point in keeping the app on my phone it doesn’t work when i need it to it’s disappointing because it has so much potential

Great, could be greater
I like how smoothly I can access the different features I normally use on my desktop. I can get to my inbox, discussions, assignment pages, and grades easily and the text, pictures, and videos are all there and clear. I do wish the designers would add a few things, though. On the desktop, I can access an edit and delete button in the discussion threads. Those aren’t on the mobile app, unfortunately, so I have to log in on my laptop or desktop if I want to edit anything I’ve already submitted. I wish the edit and delete buttons were on the mobile app. I also can copy and paste on the desktop without the font formatting changing. If I do that on the app, I notice colors and sizes change and spaces can disappear between paragraphs. I do wish there was a way to copy and paste without that formatting changing. I also wish there was a way to delete submissions from my files page. That’s not on the mobile app or the desktop version. Aside from that, I really like this app. Homework would be delayed without it. With this, I can access my school stuff anywhere I have a wifi signal.

Survey
Material is clear and understandable, in an orderly manner, and very easy to be able to submit assignments and retrieve information. The online system has never, ever given me problems. And for a person that was used to the traditional format of in-person classes as well as a person who is not technical savvy and gets very frustrated with difficult online systems, I can say that the online class system has been a pleasant, stress free, and productive experience. I am very thankful that the staff has worked toward making a system that is understandable for people like me. I haven’t been in school for almost ten years. So I am very pleased that the system didn’t confuse and stress me. I look forward to continuing taking my classes and finishing the program. I really like the class, my instructor, and enjoy doing the assignments very much. Because of this class, I am very motivated to continuing and finishing.

Use anywhere
I had time to spare. I opened the app,
did some study. There was instant access, instant information access and no wait to access further information.
A great way to learn.
