User reviews
👍
Great platform for teachers and students as a whole. This LMS is very user friendly and easy to navigate.
Easy to use, quick access to Canvas system.
Its a nice app. And it would be perfect if other features of the browser version can also be seen in this app. But overall, it is helpful for easy checking of student's submissions and progress.
Best LMS app ever!
Excellent 👍
