User Reviews

The Canvas Teacher iOS/iPadOS app is viewed as unreliable for grading and course management on mobile. Reviewers report crashes, slowness, and missing core features (gradebook, late penalties, filtering), with UI changes that hamper grading efficiency. While rubric feedback is valued and mobile messaging is convenient, most critical tasks require the desktop/web version. The recurring issues are performance, missing functionality, and post-update instability, indicating a need for stabilization and parity with the web experience.

Pros

Rubric-based feedback feature is available and valued by teachers.
Mobile access supports on-the-go communication and updates with students.
In some cases, grading via SpeedGrader can be faster than the web version.

Cons

Frequent glitches, crashes, and slow performance hinder usability.
Missing or degraded essential grading features on mobile (no full gradebook access, cannot adjust late penalties, limited grading tools, and poor class/section filtering).
UI/UX regressions after updates (rubric UI padding, awkward scrolling, and navigation issues that slow grading).
Inability to view or download key student data on mobile (quiz responses, submission comments, original PDFs, and downloadable work) without switching to a desktop/web version.
Platform inconsistency and dependence on the web/desktop for core tasks (features vary across iOS, iPadOS, macOS; updates often destabilize the app).

Recent reviews

Buggy, and limited parity with web app. There are repeatable crashes in every update, but NO WAY TO REPORT THEM IN THE APP. The link on the App Store to report a problem also 404s to Canvas’ worthless website. Finally, the main purpose of canvas for teachers is grading and managing a class. Viewing/grading from this app is buggy and cumbersome. Can’t view team groups in the app, can only edit limited parts of an assignment. Many other problems as well. Canvas is probably outsourcing or not paying their developers well, so why would they care about fixing it. Call your schools and beg them to move to a different platform.

Canvas has gone from being a decent LMS for college instructors to a very glitchy app. I would caution any faculty to not use the teacher app for anything other than a convenient messaging app. Grading with a rubric doesn’t function. I will be using the desktop app for any prep or grading. The student interface is worse. I tell my students to not use their phone app for assignments, quizzes, or discussions because of the unreliability.
