Canvas is wretched. I spent all morning in class trying to log in to this thing and it would immediately say "took too long to log in" when I took less than four seconds to type the info. Then, when I click "try to log in again" it takes me to a page with the side bar and "page not found" on every single sidebar item. That alone ruined my day due to this infuriating broken system, but no... it's actually worse than that... You see, it DID log me in, it just lied to me all day and said I wasn't. The only way it acknowledged that I was logged in was to HAND TYPE the URL in the field, and then it went to my actual canvas page. So to recap : Go to Canvas with a bookmark, it logs you in and lies to you and says you're not logged in and the pages can't be found anyway. Do the fake login of lies and then retype the URL by hand to actually see you're logged in. Otherwise, unless you guess this step, it will lie to you and deny you have access (not access denied, mind you, deny that you have access when you do). This is not a functioning product, it's narcissistic childhood abuse written as an app. Unacceptable.
The fact that this app has over HALF of its usage rating a 1 star is so disappointing, and I can’t help but agree with them. I also hate the fact you have to use this as a MAIN APP in school, where all the teachers do is post it in canvas, and most of our work is on paper. So, we do it on paper, then have to submit digitally. Which also makes no sense, why not just use the paper, but oh well, not canvas’ problem. What my problem is the new update, apparently. I just got into canvas this afternoon with checkmarks next to the assignments in the “To-Do” section, which is where I find all of my work that’s due. To find out what they did, I pressed a few. Nothing happened, until it did. They disappeared, which isn’t technically the apps fault but could at the least gave a notification or a “How to” when you opened the app. My problem summarized is just the new update. I clicked the check marks to see what they did because no guide was posted, deleted my due work, and cannot find them, nor get them back. Other than my complaint, I overall dislike the app. Do better, Canvas. This app is no better than all of the others. Google classroom is one of the best apps I used to use, this is just like a copy paste, but worse. Like the knock-off version of google classroom.

The layout can feel confusing. i can still submit and check grades, just wish navigation smoother.
