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.

Gradescope

Over all the platform is not very intuitive and all most of the time when I’m clicking on something it doesn’t work

Missing all useful function

0 actual functionality. I downloaded to view submissions and feedback on asignments, cant view submitted pdfs or any grade feedback.

Clunky controls on the phone

The dragging for pages should be removed

Awful

Been down for the past few hours. I have an assignment due tonight. Website down too somehow.

Unable to find my school

To be honest until now I still couldn’t find my university from the welcoming and logging page and unable to log in

THIS APP

IS TERRIBLE EVERYTIME I LOG IN IT GIVES ME BLUE BALLS

Don’t Download

It’s really bad, like really really bad.

Why is there no option to sort assignments by due date?

Awesome app so far. Scanner word better than adobe.

But why are my assignments out of order? They’re not even alphabetical order.

Stupid app

I don’t like it

Not functional

The website is good but the mobile app is completely useless. I cannot access any links posted by professors and it always staying in vertical screen mode on my iPad.

Good luck singing in

I love how the apps only option is to sign up. If you already have an account, you cannot get in. If you make an account in the app, you cannot get in. It is completely useless.

A version for teachers would be great.

I use Gradescope and it is great. It significantly reduces the time for grading exams and give feedback to students. It would be awesome if the app integrates tools for teachers.

Consistently Terrible

Every time I open this app, I have to do the login process all over again, and it’s an extraordinarily terrible login process

Camera Flash Bug

Every time I try and scan something on my phone for some reason gradescope forces my camera flash on and ruins my image quality. For some reason the developers make it impossible to manually override this making this app no more useful than any other submitting software.
