Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

“Student Course Management is one of the most useful parts of Canvas because it helps me keep track of assignments, deadlines, grades, and course materials across my classes.”

Nikitha Y.

“The LockDown Browser enabled secure testing within the app.”

Chad N.

Director of Operations, former teacher

“Additionally, it allows users to single sign on with their school Gmail account, which reduces the need for passwords.”

Jesse Z.

Software Engineer

Cons

“The main Bugs and Issues I have experienced are occasional pages not loading correctly, minor interface issues, or notifications becoming overwhelming when I have several courses active at the same time.”

Nikitha Y.

Graduate Student

“No customizability, the modules do not save your place or mark when you've already reviewed information, cannot remove old/unused classes, no customer support, highly complicated for professors.”

Julia B.

Student

“Sometimes it can be difficult to find certain assignments or course materials depending on how the instructor organizes the class.”

Trinity H.

ESCE TK Teacher

Cons

“Additionally, the site doesn't allow you to remove parents associated with students and delete those accounts once you no longer want to check their grades.”

Jesse Z.

Software Engineer

“It seems like it isn't maintained as well as the rest of the PowerSchool options.”

Chad N.

Director of Operations, former teacher

“The automatic grading would mark answers wrong if there was any spacing or punctuation differences, requiring me to edit the incorrect answers.”
