### 1/5 — Recent update is suboptimal

*2026-08-13*

The most recent update has made the app slow and cumbersome to use. What used to take one tap now takes multiple taps and screens to input information. I'm not sure what prompted it but it would be great to go back to the last version!

### 1/5 — Version 18.0.0

*2026-06-20*

The so called “refreshed user experience” isn’t so fresh once you actually start using the application. First off, the developers completely changed everything around, so if you like to go on scavenger hunts, then this new version is just for you! Secondly, trying to add pictures to line items is abysmal as the user must click the button several times to actually add the photos into the report. Overall, I rate the new version with 1 star and that’s generous. If I could review it with zero stars, I would happily do so. Sometimes it’s best to just let things as they are if they are not BROKEN. I also think the developers get so bored that they create these “updates” just so they have complaints such as the one I’m writing now, just so they can be “productive” at work.

### 2/5 — Way too slow

*2025-10-27*

I have been using this app for the last 5 years because this is what my employer uses. Goodness this app is slow to close out tickets. It takes about 4-5 minutes to close a ticket out. This means you cannot close the app, so you’re stuck staring at a refresh screen for 4-5 minutes. I’d love this app if it wasn’t so slow.

### 2/5 — Good reports, terrible customer service & expensive

*2025-10-20, version 17.4.0*

I’ve used GoCanvas for many years and the reporting options are good, but the pricing and changes to minimum licensing numbers and 12-month term make it too expensive. It’s really disappointing. 
It’s a solid product, but the rigid contract terms and lack of flexibility mean I’ll be moving away from GoCanvas. I couldn’t recommend it under these conditions.

### 1/5 — Good system horrible company

*2025-04-03*

My company has been using the app for around 3 years now. The month price has gone from $50 to $115 a month and is set to go to $147 a month shortly. Also, they decided that monthly wasn’t good enough and want to bill you annually. They did all this with a 10 day notice and when you try to cancel you can’t. Can’t cancel online. Have to call or submit a ticket. When you call you can’t get through to billing. Only tech support. When you submit a ticket, they take days to get back to you and even then won’t answer your questions or help resolve the issue. In order to cancel you have to submit a written notice (yes written, sent via mail) 30 days prior to cancellation. They can’t cancel if you’re in the middle of a billing cycle though. And they can’t answer as to when you’re actually able to cancel. So overall, avoid this company and take your money elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Could be better

*2024-06-07, version 16.1.0*

This app is outdated and has massive flaws.

### 1/5 — Decent app, BUT...

*2024-05-07, version 16.0.2*

Update:05/07/24 This app is not for small business or rare users. At $49 per user, per month, WITH a 3 user minimum, billed annually…$$1,764 Plus taxes! I am looking elsewhere.
Update: 12/13/2014 1630cst So do not use this app much, but as stated, all still stands. Anyways because I used it so rarely they changed me to free for a couple years and that was nice. Unfortunately, they are back to pricing… but weeks later the front mouth piece says someone will get with me because they cannot answer the simple question of how much. It will probably not be worth it, if it is so secretive. 5y ago: Decent app, but buggy. Everything costs extra, less, if you share. Admittedly I haven’t created a lot of forms because of the issues, But forms are good overall, just not ideal. They come out too lengthy. Entry is easy, except pictures, albeit not difficult. Customer service has been rude. Emails received are written incorrectly. All my computers/tablets/phones run the current OS yet I receive an email that reads I’m the problem and need to update! 😳 Past interactions with CS is as if I’m putting them out and interrupting their day..for their errors... and now the most recent, my card works, but they state they’ve sent me previous emails and this is their final! Yea, ok...they must be some angry people over there, management should lighten up or straighten them up...

### 4/5 — Dark mode?

*2023-12-27, version 11.21.5*

Dark mode for those of us who work nights please?

### 1/5 — Slow. Quirky.

*2023-04-21, version 11.19.5*

App will randomly sign out and is very slow to load.

### 1/5 — Not reliable since 3/23

*2023-03-27, version 11.19.3*

Every day I have to uninstall and reinstall the app just to use it.
