App overall is fine, but every time I try to log into my account on my phone, (QR Code, and searching for my school) An error shows up. And it didn’t start happening until it got hacked, and I had to delete the app from my phone. Sooo, maybe that could be it. But definitely weird, and please fix this!
Good app but lots of glitches with grades
I love this new update on the app on the phone this is what you called organization and the quotes were needed to keep us moving and the welcoming good morning and good afternoon and good evening with our names is so so great keep it this way next add some themes we can change it to which will be crazy and the app on the laptop and iPad I love it but keep it like that with the little astronaut and the planet so so cute
Just noticed a new update that has some updates. Main difference is the new user friendly dash board, customizable and I love the lay out!
Between getting hacked and having horrible UI updates I cannot wait to graduate and finally be free from this god awful app. Would rate lower if I could.
The app crashes and won't load when I tap on it. Fix this.
good and well sorted
Never use Canvas. This app is sped
差评。上面全是作业
Won’t even let me sign into it
I can’t login from my iPad from all the errors since the new update. Please fix!
While the app works it keeps repeatedly offering an invitation to the same course, which I was already a member of in canvas to begin with, but it won’t stop asking even if I accept the invitation. Then it will NOT reset or clear announcement counts so it shows I have unread announcements and there’s no real way to tell when there is a legitimately new unread one. It’s also frustrating that I cannot remove old assignments, for example a teacher who gave us an assignment last spring for a group project required that only one member submit the final project. I have to go through all of these old assignments until my school decides to remove me from the course (so when fall semester starts). It makes it appear I have multiple to do items but none are valid, I should be able to delete these myself somehow or mark them as completed without having to submit something. Some professors use assignments to just give us directions for things we do in person and if that professor messes up their a
The update is a step in the right direction! I like that you can choose if you don’t want to have one thing or another on the dashboard! It is slightly confusing right now and i think the thing that needs to be customizable is the themes, similar to “better canvas”.
My to do list is not showing anything even though it says I have 4 things do.
Doesn’t seem to let me log in on my iPad
it's a great app, love the UI and its so intuitive but there's an issue with the to do list notification system- its been showing that i have 18 or 19 things next to the icon for the to do list but when i check there's only 1 or 2 actual assignments
This app is AWFUL and one of the worst ones out there. Google Classroom is way better than Canvas is multiple ways. I don’t even want to give Canvas one star.
The app delays approximately 1 or 2 days of assignments and you’ll find yourself shocked that you have tones of work… it is only an issue if your not productive enough other than that it’s useful just don’t rely on it as my recommendation
This is absolutely brutal. Instructor sends an email in canvas, posts an assignment, anything and canvas doesn’t send an app notification. Why does educational software always fail to do the basics?
DOCX files are not openable on mac using this no matter what i do sucks
App is worst after last update
canvas please. stop not working. i cant turn anything in. im timed out. i have so much to do right now and i cant because you wont let me. its been hours. stop it. 😭😭
FIX YOUR APP THERES NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE GOING DOWN ALL THE TIME
I have used the Canvas app for over a year, and on iOS 18 and 26 it worked great. Of course I was devastated by the app's liquid glass redesign (it was done incredibly poorly), but it worked just fine. Fast forward to today, and a few weeks ago my iPhone 14 broke so I had to find another phone, my "new" phone being on iOS 16. The last compatible version for 16 is 7.13.0, and it was released just over a year ago. You would think that a version from just over a year ago should work just fine, but in reality 7.13.0 is COMPLETELY broken. Nothing works, you can't log in, access the Canvas Network page, not even scanning a QR code works. I found a thread explaining my exact problem, but as you could likely expect, there was absolutely no helpful solution to be found. Furthermore, you can't even add the desktop site as a PWA. My guess is that you're supposed to be forced to use the mobile app, but for users like me that can't actually use the mobile app, it is disgusting. On mobile the deskto
I am pressing that I completed the assignment and it says unable to complete task on the to do list. Can this be fixed?
This app is really nice I am in junior high and now going into ninth grade in August so I kind of have too have the app I love the app so much when I’m too lazy too open my computer and sign in I can just go too Canvas on my phone! I love that option but my only complaint is the Too Do List it says I have 50 things too do when I don’t I have them done and submitted and it’s so annoying that I have too have a notifications turned off then I don’t get notified when I have a big test coming up or something like that pls Developers fix that bug other than that thank you so much for an amazing app!!
I hoped it was part of the update but not. It helps with keeping up with classes.
Usually I really like the app, but recently, it doesn’t even load? I’m confused. Otherwise I’d give it a better rating!!
Not sure why the app has 4.7 stars. After it got hacked all I’ve had is issues. 8 times out of 10 I try to open it and it crashes immediately, really unhelpful overall.
Freezes
I can never just click on the app and it goes straight to my dashboard. The barely loads or comes on when I’m trying to do my assignments on the go. It’s so inconvenient.
Generally, this app does the job. But the bugs are very annoying. For example, I finished module six in my class and this prerequisite opened up module seven on my iPad. But on my iPhone, module seven is still locked up. The PDF viewer on the app does not allow zooming in and so does not work very well on iPhones because the text is too small. Finally, logging into this program is very annoying, because NNU has so many different sites to login. Is it canvas? Is it instructure? Is it NNU?
The amount of times the widget only shows me assignments that are no longer able to be accessed is insane. And when I physically go in to mark those assignments done, it doesn’t show me what’s coming up next. It only shows assignments that are past due. And half the time, it won’t let you mark assignments as completed.
Nice to have school things on my personal device so I don’t need to use my school laptop and it sends me notifications 4 important stuff, email teachers, yeah it’s pretty great. If you have this website at school I suggest also downloading the app, helpful.
Please fix the notifications. I receive notifications that an assignment has been graded, but when I tap the notification banner, the app opens and just keeps loading. The grade never appears, so I have to find it manually. This has been happening consistently and is very frustrating.
Google classroom was better
After the hacks the app still does not work properly. The new UI continually changes back to the old one and erases everything in the to-do tab so none of the recent due dates for assignments appear at all. Logins also have been super buggy for some reason and give error messages. Used to be great, now absolutely trashed
why do I get like 100 notifications saying that a student replied to the same discussion post that I did but not a single one saying that I have an assignment due tonight that I forgot about… you guys need to fix the notifications
This app has some dumb limits to be fixed. Sometimes the class posts a slideshow in PDF format. The text is too small to view in portrait mode so when I switch it to landscape mode, the whole PDF disappears.
Overall a great app, but the web browser is missing dark mode and my eyes pay the price 😭. 4/5 stars. I'll come back and rate 5 if the browser gets dark mode.
TheIn the recent updates I am unable to hide old courses that are still open, but yet are done.
Canvas got hacked several months ago and had to pay the ransom to get it back. Here we are months later and because of this the district has disabled the app. Idk why the school had a contract with them if they can’t trust them. It’s ridiculous
User friendly for the most part but I wish it had the “what-if” grade functionality like the web portal does
It’s a nice app that gets things done on your phone. Doesn’t work great most of the time but can help you keep up with due dates and assignments
Canvas is really bad, u literally got hacked, and this is so unproductive and hard to use. Google classroom is better than yours. Google classroom is free, why would I spend money on something that doesn’t help me in the slightest? Please fix your app, thanks.
Let’s not pay the group let them leak everything. So I don’t have to do exams, thank you
My library card number is probably more secure than any data you give this app.
Got hacked ruined this app my school life hate deadlines very glitchy I get a horrid amount of notifications it’s so bad it makes me miss brightspace somehow this app will steal your data cause it got hacked the ui and to-do list suck the calendar is useless and the ClassLink version is better letting you see how your grade would be affected by different scores my teacher loves it we as students hate it
There was an Apple update and now my lectures are being uploaded distorted on my iPad, right before finals. I have checked everything to fix this and it’s still not working.
Yall really got hacked? Damn we exposing students info before they even adults 😭🙏
