Canvas ignored the hackers and got hacked again. They got hacked previously before 2026, and they didn't even strengthen their security at all. Insane how none of the companies actually care about protecting students or professors. UPDATE THIS APP AT LEAST. CALENDAR IS GLITCHED OUT DAYS ARE NOT CORRECTLY NUMBERED
★☆☆☆☆Michelle Tonnaer· Jun 21, 2026
Opening the app it requests me to use Okta verification for my uni but when I go get the code - the app has closed and reopens asking to do the whole verification again, so I cannot open de app on my phone at all, as it will request a new Okta code. I got a Samsung S23.
★☆☆☆☆Aurora Schoeller· Jun 30, 2026
The new update is horrible, it takes at least one full minute for my courses in the dashboard to load. The previous app layout was very nice and loaded immediately when the app loaded. Now it takes forever and is really frustrating.
