Terrible app, even worse company
Buggy, and limited parity with web app. There are repeatable crashes in every update, but NO WAY TO REPORT THEM IN THE APP. The link on the App Store to report a problem also 404s to Canvas’ worthless website. Finally, the main purpose of canvas for teachers is grading and managing a class. Viewing/grading from this app is buggy and cumbersome. Can’t view team groups in the app, can only edit limited parts of an assignment. Many other problems as well. Canvas is probably outsourcing or not paying their developers well, so why would they care about fixing it. Call your schools and beg them to move to a different platform.

Not fit for purpose
So many of the features simply do not work. My class lists typically have at least 100 students. There is no way to home in quickly on the report you need. When you find it, the mark-up tools are USELESS. Add to that the massive cyber security issue this month (May 2026) and I have had enough of this garbage. Same goes for the CANVAS system itself. Hard to believe people keep paying them, yet nothing seems to change.
Time we went back to pen and paper!

Not functional for teaching
Canvas has gone from being a decent LMS for college instructors to a very glitchy app. I would caution any faculty to not use the teacher app for anything other than a convenient messaging app. Grading with a rubric doesn’t function. I will be using the desktop app for any prep or grading. The student interface is worse. I tell my students to not use their phone app for assignments, quizzes, or discussions because of the unreliability.

Needs Updating - Daily Struggles!
As a teacher and a coach on the go, I need this app to be capable of the same things as the desktop version. It’s a daily frustration to need a computer anytime I have to create a module, a quiz, an assignment, Quizzes, edit almost anything and look at the entire grade book (I can see individual grades inside an assignment which is somewhat helpful). I like Canvas, but I need to be able to use both the desktop and mobile app interchangeably everyday. Please update it.
