This + better campus installed makes school work so easy compared to other services. Really glad my uni switched to canvas
★★★★★Julie Chien· Sep 19, 2026
Useful and well-designed. Oftentimes an app version isn't as navigable as a browser version, but this app works well.

Been a user since I started high school in 2024, and honestly it was confusing at first, but ive gotten the hang of it! Definitely a lifesaver with due dates and such. Formatting on phone is a little bit difficult to navigate, but on laptop its easy! It allows stuff to be graded immediately which im happy about because I used to have to wait for teachers to grade until I moved schools. Love this app! (it also lets me us google even tho my dad doesn't allow it😋!!)

As a student of MSU Denver, Canvas helps me out by letting me know what's due and what's late, very helpful
★☆☆☆☆William Jones· Sep 25, 2026
Awful!!!! Needless to say that the app doesn't show anything with my name and date showing that I'm actually enrolled on the same page. Even the school couldn't send me anything. All this school seems to get right is taking your money. Lucky to get an email back from some of the instructors unless it's 3 days later. By then you'll have very little time to actually get the assignment done. I'll never suggest this school to anyone ever.

Login, I do so then it takes me to a blank page only for it to ask me log out then log back in absolutely useless to have this on mobile as it doesn't work, it doesn't remember the log in either even after I click on "YES THIS IS MY DEVICE"
★★☆☆☆Bradyn Andres· Sep 17, 2026
The app's UI is fine, and I haven't experienced any issues with notifications. The downsides come from the load time and network handling. For whatever reason launching the app or clicking on things like grades, notifications, to-do list, etc. take FOREVER to load. It's not a network or hardware issue, just terrible optimization. Secondly, if you happen to open Canvas right when your phone loses Wi-Fi connection (happens more often than you would think), it logs you out every single time.
★★☆☆☆Ross· Oct 2, 2026
Can't even submit assignments, so I have to go through the website. Only good things are the notifications and ability to view stuff on Canvas, which I could literally do through Gmail and the website. Cool ui, but there's literally no reason for me to use it if it never works.
★☆☆☆☆Thegentle_ dragon· Oct 9, 2026
This is the most confusing app I've ever used ctu has a much better online app for their courses this app is not user-friendly, and I can never access late assignments like the last college I went to, before I transferred I would have all the time I needed to access a finish assignments this is a verry frustrating app that dost work on phones, and you can't download it on a computer wich just makes things so much more frustrating especially when the to-do list dost give you direct links to work
