Gradescope

Why even make an app if you’re just going to direct the user to a website every time they need to do any task of substance. This app has wasted so much of my time and my gradescope experience would be far better if it simply never existed.

This app is unusable. It knows what school I go to, yet when I’m logging in, it makes me find my school from a list of every school that uses their service. It also apparently unable to remember my login info. I also can’t upload a lot of my assignments on the app and have to use the web version. Would rate 0 stars if possible.

Making you log in every time you open the app is so annoying. It also needs to do a better job of sending notifications before the assignment is do. Canvas is better and I don’t know why people us this.

it logs you out every single time you use the app. then you need to navigate through 8 different portals. i’ve had some wi-fi issues before, and it took me 30 MINUTES to log in. that is unacceptable.

You can’t do anything. You can’t submit regrades, view incorrect problems/feedback, all you can do is see that something is graded or not. Why even have an app? It also does not remember the sign in details so you have to enter the school and login manually every single time. Pretty poor development, but then again education doesn’t get the funding it deserves does it?

As far as I can tell the biggest motive to get this is to directly upload work to gradescope without using an intermediary like adobe scan, but unfortunately the scanning functionality is very poor. It gets out of focus easily and there is no good way to make it refocus so it just stays out of focus until it wanders back into focus. It is also bad at picking up writing in various lighting conditions, so as far as I can tell this app is just a waste of time.

I love gradescope 😍

The actual UI isn't bad and the app is far easier to use than scanning a pdf and uploading on a PC, but the biggest issue with this app is that you end up going through numerous different login portals every time you open the app. If I want to submit an assignment, I need to first select what school I am attending in a super long list of schools, then I have to log in through my schools portal, and sometimes I get a 2FA prompt on top of that. Occasionally it just doesn't even work and I have to start from square one. Now this might be mildly annoying but it's really exacerbated by the fact that every time I need to upload an assignment I have to go through this process again. After spending several hours on an assignment it's so frustrating to have to browse through several menus just to upload a PDF. I get it's probably for security but I don't need NSA level protection for my PDF uploader. If someone really wanted to hack into my account and upload my homework for me so be it. If this issue was resolved I'd instantly give this app five stars because otherwise it's a great application.

This does not work on my ipad. Simply useless for me to only be able to grade on my desktop.
