The Canvas Teacher app is a must-have tool for instructors and schools utilizing Canvas CMS. I encourage all my students to use the Canvas Student app to conveniently receive notifications, check grades, and communicate with Inbox. I’ve done surveys showing 75% of my students use their smartphones for accessing Canvas, and this is the best tool to encourage more effective interaction with the student. Canvas Instructor keeps getting better. There have been glitches, and confusing menu structures, or tools not available as they are of the web portal, but they keep improving it, so I feel confident in using it in the future and recommending it now. Tech support is fantastic.

Unfortunately, for groups it isn’t working properly. I have to enter the grade multiple times (once per group member, but without name identifiers—in other words, you can’t take advantage of it to differentiate between individuals). Then, after I enter the grade over and over for each team member, it gets hung up, so I have to close it and start over for the next group. UGH! It does this on both my phone and iPad, so it is the app and not the device. I hope they fix this soon!

There's no option for taking attendance. If the students make a video comment in the discussion forum that needs to be graded, you cannot see it in the grading section, you have to look at the discussion thread directly. I don't have access to the full features of Canvas (modules, files, etc). I was hoping this app would combine the features of the regular Canvas App and Speed Grader, but I still need two Canvas-related apps to have access to everything I need.
