Useless

Not sure why the app has 4.7 stars. After it got hacked all I’ve had is issues. 8 times out of 10 I try to open it and it crashes immediately, really unhelpful overall.

Not opening?

Usually I really like the app, but recently, it doesn’t even load? I’m confused. Otherwise I’d give it a better rating!!

App freezes when viewing grades.

I hoped it was part of the update but not. It helps with keeping up with classes.

Amazing!! Please pin my review!!

This app is really nice I am in junior high and now going into ninth grade in August so I kind of have too have the app I love the app so much when I’m too lazy too open my computer and sign in I can just go too Canvas on my phone! I love that option but my only complaint is the Too Do List it says I have 50 things too do when I don’t I have them done and submitted and it’s so annoying that I have too have a notifications turned off then I don’t get notified when I have a big test coming up or something like that pls Developers fix that bug other than that thank you so much for an amazing app!!
