### 5/5 — So useful now!

*2023-01-11*

If you click the menu icon you can login to canvas pages and even edit! It is more powerful than the canvas teacher app. You can also take roll, see lunch menus, use the directory and see sports calendars. Amazing app!

### 3/5 — Kind of useless for students...

*2014-02-05*

The app allows you to log in to your account, but does nothing after that. Half of the pages are just links that open in safari. If they could somehow incorporate teacher pages and the student portal into the app, or even make a dedicated app for that, it would get 5 stars. Right now, however, it is pretty much useless for students.

### 2/5 — Needs some updates

*2012-12-05*

Please try to get access to the student portal/teacher pages. The SSA mobile website doesn't even provide access to those pages, so it'd be nice if the app did.

### 5/5 — Love the new app

*2012-11-30*

Great job with the new app guys. Looks good and has a lot of great features. Thanks for making this available!

### 1/5 — Not very convenient

*2012-11-29*

Can we get a student portal please? And possibly an email login?
