Canvas Parent for Pc

I am a teacher and have experience with the app and the the app apps from all three perspectives: teacher, parent, and student. The parent app is completely useless. I wish I could give zero or negative stars. It’s nothing more than a list of assignments. You can’t see the grades of individual assignments, or the submissions themselves to see what your student got right and wrong. There is no way to message the teachers (which would be the main reason for parents to use the app, in my opinion). I ended up having my child log in on the student app and view her progress exclusively from the student point of view. Clearly the developers of the parent app have never been parents involved in their children’s education. There are also known bugs regarding missing assignments that the the app developers in the forums have outright stated are not being fixed because the parent app is their lowest priority.

As of 2.1.0, this is a garbage app. If you work for a school district, please don’t use this. I didn’t think it was possible, but they’ve made it worse over the last year. Now, you can’t see individual assignment grades at all. This is a regression; it used to work. Let that soak in. This is an app to let parents see their kids grades. Without. Grades. Garbage app. The management should be embarrassed. Update as of v2.0.3: Nope, you haven’t fixed all of the problems with two kids in the same class. If I’m looking at the calendar entries, I see the right grades for Kid1 and Kid2. But, if I tap the calendar entry for - grade belonging to Kid2 to get details, it shows me the grade of Kid1. Try try again, and please tell me that your software test plan will run this test and the prior tests so you don’t introduce more regressions. I’m tired of being an unpaid software tester. Previous review: First, my prior critical review was mysteriously deleted. That’s not a sign of a company confident in its product. Second, this app simply doesn’t work for two kids. I have twins in the same grade, and the app only shows one kids’ grades, even with both kids entered into the app. Selecting kid one still shows kid two’s grades, even acted dragging down to refresh.

If I could give this app negative stars I would. What kind of app is built where the kids can see their grades but the parents can’t. Not very smart in my book at least I can see what the grades were in progress book and I don’t know if they’ve turned in assignments or have a turn in assignments you show things are red but there’s nothing to look at. If there’s a more messed up way that we could do this I don’t know of it this is by far one of the worst things that I’ve ever seen an education system do. Thanks for making my job as a parent harder because now I have no clue if they’re doing better or worse only when I see their final grades for the quarter or semester do I know they didn’t do good but I couldn’t tell because the app is not friendly. Nor is it helpful. Please a band in this app or get better at it.

This must be all a joke. I have no problem getting in on a PC, but with the app on my phone, not possible. It’s says my user ID does not exist, so when i go to recreate the account it says it’s already being used. And round and round I go. When I go back to the PC, no problem. So I look for Tech support while there since it doesn’t exist on the app. Well it doesn’t exist period! It tells you to click the help link at the bottom of the page if you’re having problems, no such link. There is no where to get help. Everything links to these community blogs just like SalesForce. What a joke. I some how found a phone number and the woman said she couldn’t help, that I would have to contact the school district. What? The school district can’t help themselves and they are going to figure this out?
