"Can't get enrolled on courses"
Can't get enrolled on courses - going in circles..
I don't understand why City and Guilds have engaged with a company with such a low rating, and hasn't acknowledged reviews.
Remember, reviews start at 1-Star, so <2.5 is really, Really, REALLY BAD.

"Not to Bad"
It's not to bad I like it its very in order. Sometimes it confuses me and I can't find the right place to go. Otherwise not bad, but I prefer Google Classroom better.

"I hate you so much."
How can you run such a poorly managed website/ app and have the audacity to have schools use it. This website makes my life a nightmare for otherwise easy classes on a daily basis, every review I see of the Canvas Instructure company is awful and has been awful since the apps inception, yet there has been no significant change. I hate you. I hate all of you so incredibley much you make my life harder everyday. Why would you have students enter their student ID number to recover their password instead of ... their student email?? Where does the reset email even go to when I input my ID number. Just the basic level of common sense needed to live day-to-day and not forget to breath is absent from your software design. I hate you people so much. The fact this company is still standing is a scathing review of the American for-profit education system, and from the bottom of my heart I hope Instructure is aware that the continual existence of this company makes this country a worse every single day.

"Extremely long loading just to sign in"
Extremely long loading just to sign in. Not just that but this website glitches a lot and is harder to use compared to blackboard

"Incredibly Frustrating Product: The Ultimate in "Passive-Aggressive" Software Design"
Oh, my gosh, what an incredibly frustrating customer experience. I am a teacher in a large public high school with extensive corporate and then (after a career switch) teaching experience.
Canvas may be the single most passive-aggressive piece of software I have ever used. Basic functionality just doesn't work. Updates are focused on non-priorities while essential problems sail on unfixed. New features (like the infamous "New Quizzes" are not only not wanted but, as originally planned, were going to blow up countless teachers existing quizzes!!) make functionality worse.
I am presently chatting w/ Canvas support for probably the fortieth time. My current issue is a grading issue: they have taken away the ability to swipe to new students asking probably an extra minute to every student. For me with 150 students that means an extra 2.5 hours to grade.
The kicker? I go to the product discussion forum and am asked to fill out a survey. They ask for some final thoughts. I type out a lengthy response only to be told (after the fact) that the character max is 500.
Ho ho ho!! The jokes on the customer! The passive aggressive software company wins again!! Go with Blackbaud or, honestly, anybody but these customer-hating jerks.

"It gets the job done"
It gets the job done but is surprisingly slow. The email system is very alloying to use as there are no drafts, so if you mis click you lose the whole email. At least it helps to finish your work on time.
Edit: I just realized why it's so slow. It you press the book icon on the left tool bar it opens the courses menu. If you press the very top ling named 'All Courses' It shows you ALL of the classes you ever took and you can access all of the assignments you EVER HAD! No wonder its so slow, there are HUNDREDS of links to items you didn't even know about and will never use taking up space!!! If yall get rid of this feature it would probably fix a lot of the lag and make the whole platform faster.

"My Canvas Review w/ Strayer University Online"
This platform is supposed to make taking your courses online easier, but I found that keeping what is due on a weekly basis more than confusing. Instead of it showing exactly what to do and where to go, you really have to search through the criteria every week to make sure you did everything. Also I was supposed to be able to get a bonus credit for answer a daily question to show participation and it is very difficult to find it.

"Ook via vakantieveiling een voucher…"
Ook via vakantieveiling een voucher gewonnen en ook nog eens 87euro extra betaals dan verwacht ik echt wat kwaliteit, helaas niet en ook gewoon opgestuurd in een karton doos.ik was hier al bang voor toen ik de recensies ging lezen.had ik nu maar wat anders gekozen,zeer ontevreden.

"Go away with your misleading adds"
Go away with your misleading adds.
You are harassing me with your adds despite me not being a student. How you got hold on my e-mail address is beyond me but you have no right to send messages daily. Go away.
