I cannot access any links posted by professors and it always staying in vertical screen mode on my iPad. ### 1/5 — Good luck singing in *2025-08-21, version 1.1.9* 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. ### 1/5 — Consistently Terrible *2025-04-29, version 1.1.9* Every time I open this app, I have to do the login process all over again, and it’s an extraordinarily terrible login process ### 2/5 — Camera Flash Bug *2025-04-22, version 1.1.9* 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. ### 2/5 — Terrible functionality, decent UI *2025-04-03, version 1.1.9* No auto login, inconsistency with the download button even working, and lack of functionality from the web version. Pathetic solution for software that is marketed for college students who should not have to deal with software this terrible when submitting work. UI is decently created but is undermined by the functionality. ### 1/5 — Missing Most Important Feature *2025-03-25, version 1.1.9* Why in the world do we not have the ability to actually see the grading on our submissions, like where we gained and lost points? Instead there's a button that opens Safari for some reason so that we can view it there ### 1/5 — Photos not uploading in order *2025-02-27, version 1.1.9* Whenever I had to submit an assignment I would select the photos in correct order but for some reason gradescope uploaded them all scrambled up which caused my grades to go down. I didn’t realize this until my professor had finally released the grades and now I can’t resubmit. ### 1/5 — Tedious and incomplete *2025-02-26, version 1.1.9* The app will not save your login meaning 2 factor authentication is required every use. It is not possible to use in group settings meaning you have to use the website version for labs and group based work. ### 1/5 — Consfused *2025-02-05, version 1.1.9* How many one star reviews does it take for them to fix the issue where you have to login every time the app is opened?? ### 1/5 — This app is horrible *2025-01-22, version 1.1.9* Absolutely useless brick of an app, find out for yourself ### 2/5 — Very unhelpful app *2024-12-17, version 1.1.9* The app only displays courses I’m in as a student but not the one I’m the instructor. Does not support horizontal view on iPad. ### 1/5 — Actually useless *2024-12-14, version 1.1.9* Basically has no functionality other than notifications and seeing what you submitted. When you need to do something else it shunts you to the website because it lacks any sort of functionality. Why have an app? I’d rather just have a link to the website on my home screen. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-12-12, version 1.1.9* Doesn’t notify me for due dates until 2 days after the assignment is due. My notification settings are set to remind me 1 day before and it has never done this. Piece of garbage. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Automatic sign out? *2026-05-24, version 1.1.11* 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. ### 1/5 — Poorly thought out design *2026-05-10, version 1.1.11* 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. ### 1/5 — Low-effort web wrapper *2026-04-19, version 1.1.11* Barely had native code and is just a webpage with low optimizations ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-04-10, version 1.1.11* No point in downloading if it makes u just sign in online ### 1/5 — Can’t stay signed in *2026-02-28, version 1.1.11* 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 ### 1/5 — Gradescope *2025-11-18, version 1.1.9* Over all the platform is not very intuitive and all most of the time when I’m clicking on something it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Missing all useful function *2025-11-07, version 1.1.9* 0 actual functionality. I downloaded to view submissions and feedback on asignments, cant view submitted pdfs or any grade feedback. ### 1/5 — Clunky controls on the phone *2025-10-27, version 1.1.9* The dragging for pages should be removed ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-10-03, version 1.1.9* Been down for the past few hours. I have an assignment due tonight. Website down too somehow. ### 1/5 — THIS APP *2025-09-25, version 1.1.9* IS TERRIBLE EVERYTIME I LOG IN IT GIVES ME BLUE BALLS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Assignment Submission App *2026-02-15, version 1.1.11* 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. ### 5/5 — A version for teachers would be great. *2025-08-05, version 1.1.9* 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. ### 5/5 — Not as bad as the reviews say *2025-01-15, version 1.1.9* Works great for me. Parts of the assignment that make sense to submit from my computer I submit on there. (Java and cpp files etc.) Scanning documents works great and makes it super quick and easy. ### 5/5 — It worked great for me *2024-10-23* At my school, the grade-scope app was super convenient and I had trouble logging in. I recommended everyone to download the app if it’s grade-scope is a required part of your course. ### 5/5 — Lifechanging *2024-02-24, version 1.1.7* I love gradescope 😍 ### 5/5 — Don’t understand all the low reviews. *2023-01-21, version 1.1.3* While definitely not perfect, this app was simple to use and it didn’t give me issues and had its own (imperfect) scan system so I didn’t need to use another app. And it’s not trying to milk me for my money like most other scanning apps! Normally I’d give it 4 stars due to the iPhone interface for iPad and the scanning taking a couple tries to get right, but I’m giving it 5 stars to counter the ridiculously low average rating this app has. ### 5/5 — Quick and effective *2022-10-24, version 1.1.2* As an ME student at Purdue, submitting work is quick and takes 10 seconds. Must have app. ### 5/5 — Clean design, well done *2022-10-19, version 1.1.2* I haven’t had login problems. The scanning/add file option allows me to submit photos from my camera. It’s very quick; I love it. The app is well designed — I can access everything I need (which in reality isn’t that much). My only complaint is I have to open Gradescope from a browser to view graded submissions. Not having it in-app seems like missing critical functionality. ### 5/5 — Finding out this app existed was one of the best days of my life *2022-08-10, version 1.1.0* YES A GRADESCOPE APP I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! Submitting my work is so much easier now 😁 ### 3/5 — Why is there no option to sort assignments by due date? *2025-09-05, version 1.1.9* Awesome app so far. Scanner word better than adobe. But why are my assignments out of order? They’re not even alphabetical order. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
