All of sudden, I wasn’t able to view my daughter’s grades starting last week for an unknown reason. It was doing just fine when the school started several weeks ago. I logged on the website to ensure it’s not an app issue. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an app issue after all. The grades are displayed and listed for me to view on the web version. I did everything I could think of. Logged out, back in. Deleted the app, reinstalled. Restarted my phone. To no avail, nothing is resolving the issue. Any suggestions, update or feedback would be greatly appreciated! By the way, my daughter’s school distract is in Las Vegas which would be CCSD - Clark County School District if you need the information to troubleshoot the issue or data communication. Thank you!

The concept of this app is great. I’m relatively tech savvy, but find the execution frustrating. In my case, when I want to quickly scan over grades for my 3 kids, I have to weed through years of past courses on the list that appear in alphabetical order. Not all classes, but enough to make it a bit confusing. I don’t need to see or sort through 6th grade classes for my freshman. There isn’t an obvious way to remove the courses I don’t need to see anymore. I would appreciate more control to customize the information I want to see. There also isn’t a way to mass clear notification alerts. In my opinion, a red notification icon listing a count totaling hundreds of unread messages with no way to quickly clear them, is irritating. Early message settings that sent an notification every time a teacher created an assignment, etc, racks up way more notifications than anyone would want or can reasonably handle. Multiply that across 3 kids and all their classes and it quickly gets overwhelming. Giving users more control in the app would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing is formatted properly - in fact even writing this review is the screen populated by the Canvas app shows my text in white on a white background - so incredibly not helpful. This app is absolutely the worst, in my inbox it shows all of my outgoing messages - there is no way to filter them out. It doesn’t show the alerts from teachers in one central location on the app so I have to open each class page to check when things are posted. Never mind the fact that when you open files on canvas they aren’t formatted to print properly, and you must download them, then reopen them in another program and reformat them so they are printable - in no way is this convenient! Even something as simple as viewing a file as a pdf is made impossible in Canvas - as you are forced to move the document around in a dead space to view the entire image at once. Schools fell for this shinned up garbage app, and we are all the victim. The complaints from teachers and other parents about Canvas are many.
