Courses disappeared

All my courses disappeared and I can't submit my homework

App doesn’t work

Doesn’t work. Won’t let you submit without assigning questions to each page, which you also can’t do. Upload your assignments to your computer and submit them from there.

Does not load

This app does not load at all. I have tried downloading it 3 times and each time I do, it will keep loading when I try to open it. It will not let me sign in or do anything at all because it just cannot load anything. Overall, it is extremely frustrating and has very poor quality.

Why the app

Downloading another app just to submit my homework is ridiculous. Another way they can just collect more of my data thank you gradescope really appreciate it

Literally can’t use the app

Says my school doesn’t exist so the mobile app is unusable because i cant even access it

Uses AI to grade work

My professor requires us to write our homework verbatim if we don’t want to print out the homework pages, but not only does the app glitch out when you want to submit things, but it also does not want to work when you want it to. Even on the desktop or on browser it doesn’t want to work. If you’re a professor I steer clear from this app and just let them submit homework as given, this is terrible for both sides.

actual bs

doesnt stretch to fit for ipads, features are limited, login doesn’t even show my school sometimes, let me redo the app

this app BLOWS

Somehow it don’t even let me select the school so I can login in. It previously logged me out for whatever reason and now that I needed to submit homework, I had to clutch up and submit it through the website. FIX IT

Currently Dysfunctional on iPad

I can’t log in because it says that it cannot find any schools

Don’t use

Horrible. Completely logged me out and made me late with turning in my assignments. Don’t recommend.

Unusable

You can’t even login via email if the school you’re enrolled in isn’t affiliated with them due to being hard locked to search for your school,
which also doesn’t work.

Garbage

Just signs you out and a huge hassle to sign back in, terrible app, teachers shouldn’t be using this.

Garbage

Super gay

Hate

I hate it

Automatic sign out?

Having an app in 2026 that automatically signs you out immediately after you close the app is ridiculous. Get up to date with literally every productivity mobile app. People have been saying this since February, get it together lazy bones.

Poorly thought out design

You have to search for your school twice just to login, and it doesn’t even support all of the features of the web app, like viewing all details of a graded submission.

Low-effort web wrapper

Barely had native code and is just a webpage with low optimizations

This app sucks

No point in downloading if it makes u just sign in online

Can’t stay signed in

Fine service, but having to sign in every time? On THE MOBILE APP? You people are so stupid. This is the biggest issue I’ve always had with gradescope. Time to turn something in? Time to go spend 2 minutes signing in and doing my schools 2FA. Maybe if I scooped my eyeballs out with a spoon in front of the developers they would add this extremely basic functionality. Idiots

Best Assignment Submission App

I use it for assignments in calc class at uoft and tests also are returns in Gradescope. The app makes it easy to check my grades daily. It allows you to join multiple courses and submit assignments in a way that corresponds each question to the pages you uploaded. This feature makes it easy for students to review their work and instructors to mark those questions. This tool is second to WebWork as a homework tool.
