  Needs bugs fixed.

  Generally, this app does the job. But the bugs are very annoying. For example, I finished module six in my class and this prerequisite opened up module seven on my iPad. But on my iPhone, module seven is still locked up. The PDF viewer on the app does not allow zooming in and so does not work very well on iPhones because the text is too small. Finally, logging into this program is very annoying, because NNU has so many different sites to login. Is it canvas? Is it instructure? Is it NNU?

  New updates after hack

  After the hacks the app still does not work properly. The new UI continually changes back to the old one and erases everything in the to-do tab so none of the recent due dates for assignments appear at all. Logins also have been super buggy for some reason and give error messages. Used to be great, now absolutely trashed

  TheIn the recent updates I am unable to hide old courses that are still open, but yet are done.

  Dark mode

  Overall a great app, but the web browser is missing dark mode and my eyes pay the price 😭. 4/5 stars. I'll come back and rate 5 if the browser gets dark mode.

  Not great but does the job

  It’s a nice app that gets things done on your phone. Doesn’t work great most of the time but can help you keep up with due dates and assignments

  Easy to use

  User friendly for the most part but I wish it had the “what-if” grade functionality like the web portal does

  Useless after canvas hacks several months ago

  Canvas got hacked several months ago and had to pay the ransom to get it back. Here we are months later and because of this the district has disabled the app. Idk why the school had a contract with them if they can’t trust them. It’s ridiculous

  Poor

  Discontinuing support for iOS 17? If you’re a poor college student on an old phone that’s tough.

  Bug Ridden

  This is one of the most buggy apps I have ever worked with. Anything other than the most basic functions seem to never work reliably and even then, sometimes the app doesn’t work at all. Please take some time to go back through and make sure you existing features work before adding anything else
