Canvas by Instructure

It may just be my school I’m logging into, but I recently got a new phone number. I changed the two step verification number to match the new one, and it was fine for a few months. Then, I call a help desk to unlock another account through canvas due to “inactivity”, when I wasn’t aware it existed, and lo and behold, my phone number is changed back. I have missed several big assignments due to this mishap, and every time I try to send the code through an email, it sends me back to the login. I CANNOT LOG IN WITHOUT A CODE. Ridiculous! I’ve never had a problem so persistent until I started using this app.

I can no longer view my grades or complete my assignments on the iOS app.

confusing to use

Genuinely how am I supposed to do any work when anything I even TRY to load just resets. Canvas creators I wish nothing good for you.

Whenever I try to access the grade page it freezes up and I have to close out the app and restart it. I have the newest iPhone and everything. Really annoying actually because I will accidentally select the grades when I’m working in it.

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever you respond to a discussion post, Canvas will send you a notification every. single. time. there is a new response. This becomes ridiculous when the lecture has 300 people that need to post an initial response as well as a minimum of 2 responses to their classmates. This is the default. As someone who has used Google Classroom/Canvas for nearly a decade and considers myself to be somewhat tech savvy, I cannot find anywhere within the app or discussion board settings to turn these notifications off in the multiple times I have desperately looked. Getting nearly a THOUSAND Canvas notifications for just ONE discussion board drowns out ALL of my other notifications on my phone, including the actually important ones from Canvas.

I have never been able to use this app to do anything beyond the first landing page. It will not load anything. Can’t even quickly view what assignments are due or see the calendar

I can’t even scroll to see my grades for my assignments. Please fix this

I like the app but a bit hard to navigate on my phone.
