Canvas Teacher for Positive User Reviews
✓ It’s great and can continue to improveThe look and feel is great. Easy to navigate. I would like to see options to share /upload documents into Canvas app and not just audio files. It would be ideal to have canvas app on windows or iOS as well!.Version: 1.22.1
✓ GreatEasy to use. Makes marking online easier..Version: 1.13.3
✓ Mostly goodI wouldn’t use this alone, but it is helpful when paired with the desktop version. I like the ability to write directly on my student’s pdf assignments (it would be great if it took fewer clicks for them to find that feedback, but that is not the fault of the Teacher app). I pretty much only use this to write on students’ work as I find everything else easier on the desktop . I’ve removed my complaint about the February 2021 update since that has been resolved. The remaining issue that I have is that sometimes when I write feedback it doesn’t save the ends of sentences/words. It’s difficult to troubleshoot because I can see everything until I close the assignment and reopen it (which I don’t usually do). Unfortunately the students can get confused by comments with partial words or missing worlds! If I don’t feel too rushed I load the next paper then come back to the previous one and skim through the comments to make sure that everything shows up, but it is frustrating. (For reference I use an iPad Pro purchased in November 2019 and an Apple Pencil).Version: 1.13.0
✓ I like canvasI like canvas. I find it easy to use. Two areas that could be improved 1) it would be good if you could upload files directly from your phone. 2) you should be able to email groups within people..Version: 1.7
✓ No Gradebook in the canvas app for teachersI can’t believe I thought this would solve my ability to grade on the go and also see my grade book, but it’s just not there! Why do I have this app? Have no clue, it’s okay for responding to discussion posts and checking that students have assignments done in Waypoint, but that’s about all it can do. BRING THE GRADEBOOK TAB please. Many universities have teachers working on line and rely on portability but this app doesn’t make it. Have to go back to using my laptop and toting that around. Ugh!.Version: 1.12.2
✓ Can’t believe I just found this!If you are using Canvas for your online course or summer program, you need this app! We’ve been using Canvas more & more over the past year for our grant-funded undergraduate research program at a state university, and have relied on it heavily since mid-March when we were ordered to work remotely. Over 3 months later, I am just realizing there is a Canvas app and I can do pretty much anything I need to do right from my phone....add/edit assignments, grade & make comments on student submissions, etc. it’s even better using the app because I get a notification right to my phone every time a student submits an assignment or adds a comment. Already making my life so much easier and I WISH I had downloaded it months ago!!.Version: 1.11.4
✓ From no longer working to constantly crashingAfter my latest update, the app stopped working on my phone. The courses no longer exist. The only two things remain available and functional are To Do and Inbox. The latest update fixed the issue I talked about above. But after a few days, the app no longer works on my phone. It simply crashes each time I try to use it..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Not good enoughThe app looks ok and it’s practical to reply messages and post announcements. But it doesn’t have the option at modules, edit modules, or create significant assignments using the phone! I would give it 5 starts if I could modify everything on my course using the app..Version: 1.14.0
✓ Still issues with using point annotation on app.This issue still has not been resolved. When using point annotation - it simply closes the whole app down..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Can’t swipe to access successive student submissionsDon’t know what happened in the latest update but I can no longer swipe left to mark successive student’s work in speed grader. I have to click done every time and then select the next student’s name...so time consuming when you have more than 100 students to grade..Version: 1.8
✓ Easy to useA fantastic app that’s so easy to use. I like that it keeps the format of my students’ assignments and I have enjoyed being able to easily mark their work from iPhone, iPad or laptop. Keep the good work coming, guys. Really pumped with this..Version: 1.7
✓ Good, but want moreI want to upload feedback files. That would make this a perfect 5.Version: 1.7.3
✓ Teacher Interface ProblemsThe Teacher app exits if I touch or write too close to the bottom of the screen. This may be a "feature" of iOS but is extremely annoying. Wasted time is the worst feature of the app. Sometimes, Teacher crashes when I try to swipe left or right to the next assignment to be graded. I curse when this happens. It is awful (the app, that is, my cursing is quite satisfying). I find that the slider for entering a score oftens jumps to the next higher or lower number wheen I let go of the sldier. The slider seems to have been modified to have clicks between scores now, but the problem persists. Once in awhile I get red lines being drawn when I try to scroll down with two fingers. This might be acsribed to only one finger being sensed, but the problem seems to be more related to some kind of state the program is in. Another issue seems to be occurring at a higher level than the Teacher app itself. This issue is that, when I login to Canvas on my iPad, the Teacher app insists on popping up instead of the dashboard. I have to kill the teacher app to get out of it--it has taken over my Canvas access. I only use teacher for grading and have no view on other features..Version: 1.13.1
✓ Combine with BookWidgets!I wish you updated teacher-friendly features on here. However, this app paired with book widgets allows me to grade French and Spanish worksheets so much faster and have self checking assignments for distance learning. We have it set to sync to infinite campus so s lot of data entry is accurately and reliably done for you. This is the first time in years and years that part of my workload was LESSENED! Such a time saver. It is so much easier to track kids’ work patterns. I spend time helping, not repeatedly grading the same answers on fill in the blank activities. I wish the Quiz portion of the app were more flexible. That part needs improvement to aide in engagement and making the kinds of paper and digital quizzes I make. It is far behind on that front but thankfully allows other software access. Zero regrets. I highly recommend the app to my students. It is very user friendly for distance learners..Version: 1.20.0
✓ Using Teacher AppIt works well especially for marking assignments. However, I noticed the downloaded assignment occupy a lot of storage on my iPad. To free up space, I had to delete the app with data and reinstall..Version: 1.11.9
✓ Great AppThis is a great app for teachers to mark rubrics and leave feedback in a practical environment. Very good for creating announcements on the go or checking messages!.Version: 1.1
✓ FrustratingIt kicks me out as I’m annotating an assignment. Then I have to go back through all the steps to get back to that student’s page. Very frustrating. Other teachers I know have said it does the same for them as well. Also some times I can swipe to move from one student’s paper to the next as I am annotating, yet other times I can not. I am unclear as to why that is the case. I also wish I could set a default color choice as the pen color so it is not red. I always have to go in and select a different color for each student and each new file they’ve uploaded. All those extra steps over and over are annoying and take more time when you times it by 158 students..Version: 1.10
✓ Canvas works!I have had experience with a variety of online LMS platforms over the past ten years. Canvas is easy to navigate, and the app works without glitches! This is a great vehicle for my creative subjects like SONGWRITING, and the students are enjoying their APP version as well!.Version: 1.7.3
✓ Great app that requires few improvementsFolks at Canvas::::: Please, do us a favour and add (Submissions Comments) to this app. It’s incredibly crucial. The inbox has all main features except this one. Regards *******£££ This is a great app that makes collaboration with students seamless. However please consider adding the following to both the app and/or the website itself: Canvas Enhancements: 1- In the website, Under (Grades), We should be able to change the view from (Students) to (Groups) so we can see Group related assignments and grades There must be a specific tab for the (To-Do) in the browser, just similar to the one in the iOS App. 2-There must be a tab on both the iOS App and the Browser version where we have a consolidated views for all (Comments). Now, it is near possible to be able to trace and track where students made comments, on what assignments, and when on the app. One the website, you have to go to the inbox. 3-Abilities to arrange columns in the grade centre to match the fields on instructors portal-grading section Ability to add a (calculated column) in the grade centre. 4-(Submissions Comments) are missing from the iPhone App while we can see them online. Please add them..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Rubrics are not showing in Assignments?Why won’t rubrics show in assignments? I have created numerous assignments and attached rubrics to them in Dell Windows System. Help.Version: 1.9.4
✓ Good but could do moreCalendar could be included which would reduce the need to have the student app as well 😑.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Newest update is glitchyI LOVED the Canvas teacher app until the most recent update. The grading in the app has been very glitchy. It will say that a student submitted work, but then when I open it say they haven’t submitted anything. If I close it out and go back to it, the student’s work is there. When I slide the slider over to give a grade, the grade will repeatedly disappear. Another thing weird about the update is now my to-do list only says how many assignment groups I have to grade, not how many total assignments I have. I saw this weekend that I only had 7 assignments on the to do list, so I thought the grading could wait until Monday. No, each of those “to-dos” included multiple submissions. I really had dozens of things to grade. I really liked knowing I had 145 or whatever submissions to grade, so when I got down to 5 I knew I had five left. Now 5 could mean 500. Not a fan of this update, Canvas..Version: 1.12.0
✓ Accessing modulesUnfortunately I can access Modules through this app. I can’t either have full benefits of the speed marking features as the app doesn’t allow me to highlight,etc. Thank you for your help. Iris.Version: 1.6.4
✓ Only one flaw and one wish in an otherwise amazing appI haven’t done online teaching for a good while, and I was pleasantly shocked to see how well designed this app was compared to what I remember about online learning platforms in the early days. Kudos to the developers. I truly was amazed. This was made for busy teachers on the go (which is me!) to be able to do good grading quickly. One flaw: the comment window for the teacher is so tiny, and there’s plenty of space above it for it to grow! I had to resort to writing my comments in another app on my iPad Pro and then pasting them in. I’m surprised that in an app with otherwise great UI that this little flaw showed up. One wish: I like making audio comments, but I like to pause and restart the recording multiple times—like 40 times in a 25-minute recording session. I didn’t see that I could do that with the audio recording function..Version: 1.11
✓ So convenientA convenient way to access most of the desktop features of Canvas. Great way so send and receive messages from students while on the go..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Best grading appThis app has really helped me with grading student work. I can easily pre-populate a rubric and then once the students submit their work I can annotate using my tablet, leave audio feedback and tick the relevant rubric boxes all in the one screen. Time saved!.Version: 1.6.3
✓ Good way to keep up with class happeningsI use Canvas Teacher to monitor and grade for my classes. It is convenient and works well for the job. I can annotate on submitted assignments with my Apple Pencil, just like I am writing on paper. The app does not allow me to rotate pages, as far as I can tell, however. It is allowed on the web version on my PC but my markings done on the App end up being oriented incorrectly relative to the submitted page. Other than that, the app notifies me appropriately when submissions/messages occur in the class, and my very portable iPad allows me to take action..Version: 1.12.2
✓ GlitchesPTe dis to shutdown.Version: 1.9.4
✓ Mostly usefulThere are quite a few things I like about the Teacher app on Canvas. The one thing that I don’t like though stresses me out a LOT. For some reason, my notifications will NOT disappear! Even though all my assignments and messages are taken care of, the notification bubble says I have over 5,000 things to do! Granted, I do most of my Canvas work on my computer so maybe the web based program and the app don’t sync? But it’s stressful enough that it keeps me from using the app unless absolutely necessary..Version: 1.14.1
✓ CanvasExcellent application with unlimited possibilities!.Version: 1.7
✓ Can’t access my classHi, I just started using the app. While the look and feel is good. I am also able to see the subject I'm teaching. However, while I'm one of the six teachers for the subject; I can only view the student discussions for only one of the other teachers. I'm unable to select my class, as I can on the website. This renders the app useless for me. It would be nice if this issue can be fixed..Version: 1.8.5
✓ Pesky persistent bug makes the otherwise good app a pain to use.If you are like me, you might like to write detailed feedback notes, when grading your students’ submitted homework. Then, just like me, you are also constantly struggling with the tiny input text box, which doesn’t auto-scroll properly, making you constantly wiggle your phone this way and that in an attempt to type a few additional words. And if you wish to copy/paste a link to a helpful external reference, forget it! A couple of months ago, I have raised this issue with a Canvas support representative. He sounded so surprised that I began to wonder if this problem affects me alone, but it is not the case. I have asked my colleagues and they too are having the same issue..Version: 1.9.3
✓ Review of Canvas on Mobile Phone for TeachersI had this app for a long time but did not actually get to use it. I started using it just a few days ago and it is absolutely fantastic!! I particularly like the fact that all the assignments and tests/quizzes given to the students appear at time of submission so that you are not only able to correct the assignments in a very relaxed atmosphere but you see the time the students actually submitted the assignments. I believe there are a lot more advantages of this app which I am yet to discover!!.Version: 1.11.5
✓ Not terribleNeeds feature parity with the core features of the site, and rich text editing throughout..Version: 1.9.4
✓ Good, not great yet.Great app, I use it on my iPad. Two things 1. Discussion board is very difficult to use at a high level. There is an option to just show the original posts, but then you can’t click on one to go to it or download them all. The weakness in the discussion capability is why I will use another product next time. 2. Would love to be able to speed grade in Teacher..Version: 1.13.1
✓ Great for entering grades on individual assignmentsUnfortunately, for groups it isn’t working properly. I have to enter the grade multiple times (once per group member, but without name identifiers—in other words, you can’t take advantage of it to differentiate between individuals). Then, after I enter the grade over and over for each team member, it gets hung up, so I have to close it and start over for the next group. UGH! It does this on both my phone and iPad, so it is the app and not the device. I hope they fix this soon!.Version: 1.8.5
✓ New Changes Have Ruined My LifeThere’s no hyperbole in my review title. I work from home while taking care of my son, who I gave birth to right before COVID hit. The only time I have to grade is when he naps or sleeps. I have been grading on my phone with the app for the last year and a half. However - The new changes to the app have made the comment bubbles jump around while I’m trying to leave my students comments on their work. My words disappear while I’m typing them. The assignment speed grader flips through the assignments super fast, also unintentionally, while I’m trying to grade. So I can’t grade on my phone anymore. THANKS SO MUCH for the changes - from a stressed out overworked full time professor and mom..Version: 1.12.2
✓ Wish this had group functionalityWorks well, but lacks good interface for assignments grafing and can’t understand why the app distegards groups.Version: 1.11.9
✓ Marking students’ workI was puzzled why I could use the speedgrader but not put the mark in. I’m wondering if it was a formative assignment . Actually, when I use speedgrader through Safari, it shows more options which are different when doing it through the app itself. I presume this needs fixing since it doesn’t display the same option and the student can’t see feedback until I go through Safari and put the mark in. I had a row with my manager because she said I should have gone to training to find out it doesn’t work whereas my argument was, the app should work on iPad Pro in the same way it works on the laptop..Version: 1.8.5
✓ General feedback for all versions of canvasI like having students complete both peer and self reviews. I love the peer review assignment option through assignment pages. For the purposes of the classes I teach I would like use this function to assign students to as reviewer of their own submissions. I attempted to do this but noticed their own names are not an option when manually assignment peer reviews. Perhaps there is another way to do this that I have not figured out yet? If not, I would LOVE if such a function can be added so students can engage in a self review process with all the same editable functions that are available in the peer review option. I would also love for all the rubric descriptions to be available in the canvas app. Right now only the general category description is available but even then, no consistently. I can see it for some of my assignments but not all. It would be nice if both General descriptions as well as the descriptions by point distribution were available. I have young children at home and often find myself grading at all hours of the day and night based on my infant and toddlers eating and sleeping schedules. Not having access to full rubric details from my phone slows up my progress when I am trying to take advantage of these random opportunities to grade while feeding our putting my kiddos to sleep. Otherwise I’m loving the app!!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Good, but needs workThe app is not too bad overall. It definitely needs work, though, particularly so it has more functionality. I primarily use an iPad Pro now rather than a computer, and I’m feeling the limitations. To complete certain tasks I have to go to Canvas through my browser rather than using the app. Also, PLEASE GET RID OF THE HORRIBLE SLIDER IN THE GRADING AREA. I have had a terrible time trying to get exactly the grade that I want because as soon as I lift my finger off of the screen the slider almost always moves a bit, leaving me with something like an 88 instead of an even 90 for example..Version: 1.9.2
✓ Really Good, and Getting BetterThe Canvas Teacher app is a must-have tool for instructors and schools utilizing Canvas CMS. I encourage all my students to use the Canvas Student app to conveniently receive notifications, check grades, and communicate with Inbox. I’ve done surveys showing 75% of my students use their smartphones for accessing Canvas, and this is the best tool to encourage more effective interaction with the student. Canvas Instructor keeps getting better. There have been glitches, and confusing menu structures, or tools not available as they are of the web portal, but they keep improving it, so I feel confident in using it in the future and recommending it now. Tech support is fantastic..Version: 1.6.4
