Makes me log in at least daily

This app sucks cause instead of having the log in integrated into the app it puts you through a portal where you have to log in that never remembers you.

Notification for quiz

I can set up notifications for assignments but not for quizzes.
Please add notifications to quizzes too!!!!!!!

Somewhat useful

I would recommend you get this and use it to upload assignments, but use your computer to check what you have to do instead of using the online to do list. It has a better camera (since it’s a phone), while the computer has a worse camera. I use it for if the things I need to turn in are large and detailed, and I need a really (I mean really) good picture of it.

Always an error

Whenever I click into my school it says the page cannot be found makes me feel sad I cannot look at my grades

Failed to load login page

It failed to load the login page. Nuff said.

Mobile Files Details

Every single time I open a file of any kind, it is the same problem.

First, the bar up top is extremely distracting and the zoom-in button is completely unreliable. It is automatically cancelled once I scroll up (swipe down).
Next, the pages are not fixed and filled to the screen so it moves with every movement of my finger. I can’t even see the scroll bar! Incredibly annoying and distracting, as well.
Then, the files are not suited to the canvas app theme color setting unlike before.
Finally, a comparison to BEFORE I updated the canvas app is that all of the files details and pages were perfectly smooth and easy to navigate. There is no bar on top, I can zoom in and out perfectly fine without a zoom in button (since this IS mobile version), the color is suited to the app theme setting (light/dark), I can see and use a scroll bar, AND the pages are fixed without any movement at all aside from scrolling up and down!

Why did the files detail page have to change to the desktop version? The page is now just like that of me turning on the desktop website setting on a tab in Safari.

This is very important to my quality of life. Please fix this.

speed issues

just a little slow to load data and lags a bit ui wise but very easy to find what im looking for

Marcar como concluído não funciona

A opção de marcar a aula como concluída foi substituída por um caderno. E na lista de aulas o checkbox não preenche. Ao invés disso, carrega a pagina da lição.

Erm

I love canvas, it is nice and it helps me get to assignments easily, but there is one problem, it won’t let me get past the “find your school or district” section, idk why but it just won’t, it’ll say it can’t load the log in page even though my WiFi and internet and service are all perfectly fine, please help with this

Baka

I HATE SCHOOL SO MUCH THIS IS HORRIBLE I WANT TO THROW ALL OF MY DEVICES OFF OF A CLIFF OR THROW IT AT ALL MY TEACHERS

Assignment Issues

Some assignments don’t clear off when I mark them as done once I submitted them. And they fail to mark themselves as done. Some assignments don’t appear on the list until after the day they are due. The updates don’t seem to be fixing the problems

Good

Updates faster than skyward

Unable to find school.

I am unable to log in because I cannot find my high school. It would be helpful if there were more detailed instructions, I have looked all over the lists, and cannot find my school. If there is a forum or website to troubleshoot this, that would be helpful. I have checked the official canvas help site and cannot figure out how to resolve my issue.

Awesome

I continue my classes and manage my assignments.

Horrible

Not user friendly nor helpful to monitor your child’s performance.

Canvas to do list & grading structure

Canvas still has me with notifications on my to do list even though I’m already done with my class work, also when I receive extra credit, my score goes high, but when I receive full regular credit, my grade goes low, when isn’t it supposed to stay at the same percentage since I got full credit and not go down???

Não funciona

Não consigo mais acessar o conteúdo da minha faculdade, não sei o que está acontecendo. Saiu atualização hoje e mesmo assim, não funciona mais

Bad

This app is great for things but it is kinda glitching and the to do list sucks but I is ok.

Like the mobile app

I like the mobile app because of it's voiceover accessibility, most apps I find on ClassLink aren't that accessible, but I say you do a good job on the mobile app.
