User Reviews
Just like the title says every thing is great and other people say it runs smoothly, tracks grades, etc. But there is one problem I would like to suggest, is when you try to do something with the text entry section, and accidentally click the refresh button and it doesn’t save. I wish we have this feature in the app and the website because I know a lot of students gets frustrated with this part, and we typed all of that, just to lose it, so please make this feature that is available for students, not just a feature that is only available for instructors. And any part that has a text entry, like an assignments and/or the discussion part should be an available feature.
first they are being hacked , second they sign you out for no reason , third it never works . i dont like canvas what so ever . the submissions barely go through .
I couldn’t even find my school district.
The only thing I want to see is my classes and they are extremely difficult to find given the new update.
Can’t get past the loading screen after putting in my school name
The new update is so slow!!! It takes forever to load everything. The to do list isn’t accurate. If you swap back to the old version, it loads quickly but it doesn’t populate a to do list!!! Why mess with something that worked??? No need for a new look. You should have beta tested it before releasing!
Dashboard shows unfavorited groups but otherwise works fine.
Title says it all. Really sucks. Most of it doesn’t load. Is ugly as hell.
Instructure gets hacked and leaves my private data in the hands of scammers? Absolute joke. I cannot wait for the day I can delete this app and never use it again. DO NOT USE CANVAS IF YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS!!!
