User Reviews

User reviews consistently cite severe reliability issues: the app freezes or crashes while scrolling through courses, grades, or assignments, often forcing a restart and preventing full visibility of data. The problem repeats across updates and devices (notably iOS 26 on newer iPhones). A small number of users acknowledge it has potential or is straightforward when working, and that it’s the main way to monitor a child’s grades, but the frequent freezes overshadow any positives.

Pros

Has potential to be a useful tool for parents.
Pretty straightforward to navigate when it’s working.
It’s the primary/sole way to monitor a child’s grades and assignments.

Cons

Frequent freezing/crashing when scrolling through grades/assignments.
Must force-close/relaunch repeatedly; still freezes in the same spot.
Cannot see all assignments/complete grade data due to freezing.
Performance issues persist across updates and device/OS versions (e.g., iOS 26).
Support can be unresponsive or hard to reach (e.g., 404 in app support).

Canvas sucks

by do*****, 2026-07-31

This app constantly crashes. It freezes when attempting to scroll in a class to check grades/assignments due. It then kicks you out. I have to wait 30 seconds before getting back in to try to look in another class.
