Canvas got hacked several months ago and had to pay the ransom to get it back. Here we are months later and because of this the district has disabled the app. Idk why the school had a contract with them if they can’t trust them. It’s ridiculous
User friendly for the most part but I wish it had the “what-if” grade functionality like the web portal does
It’s a nice app that gets things done on your phone. Doesn’t work great most of the time but can help you keep up with due dates and assignments
Canvas is really bad, u literally got hacked, and this is so unproductive and hard to use. Google classroom is better than yours. Google classroom is free, why would I spend money on something that doesn’t help me in the slightest? Please fix your app, thanks.
Let’s not pay the group let them leak everything. So I don’t have to do exams, thank you
My library card number is probably more secure than any data you give this app.
Got hacked ruined this app my school life hate deadlines very glitchy I get a horrid amount of notifications it’s so bad it makes me miss brightspace somehow this app will steal your data cause it got hacked the ui and to-do list suck the calendar is useless and the ClassLink version is better letting you see how your grade would be affected by different scores my teacher loves it we as students hate it
There was an Apple update and now my lectures are being uploaded distorted on my iPad, right before finals. I have checked everything to fix this and it’s still not working.
Yall really got hacked? Damn we exposing students info before they even adults 😭🙏
How do you get hacked by probably some stupid teenager this app sucks and I think kids should go back to paper and pencil

Canvas is a great app but as of May 8, 2026 it is currently hacked

Shout out shiny hunters
This sucks it should die stop making us work #getithackedagain yalls security systems got hacked loosers
Jit got hacked
I DONT HAVW WORK!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
I used this app for 5 years, and it was perfect! But all of a sudden, I open ClassLink, and there is no canvas? I ask my teacher, and she said it got hacked. I don’t blame y’all, but try to have better security.
I’m scared it’s going to sell all my data.
Bro got hacked how does that even happen I hate this app best thing that happened was it got hacked lock In Shrek: The Opening Scene [Screen opens on a fairy tale book] SHREK (V.O.) Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep, in the highest room of the tallest tower, for her true love, and true love's first kiss. [Laughing] SHREK (V.O.) Like that's ever gonna happen. What a load of— [Toilet flushes. Shrek emerges from his outhouse to the sound of "All Star" by Smash Mouth.]
The recent updated has too many bugs.
Canvas has recently been hacked, they are asking Instructure for a ransom and currently canvas has been converted into a malware that will activate on your device at the end of the day of May 12th, uninstall before than unless you want to get your files leaked.
It got hack so it suck.
it logged me out and when i click on my organization to log back in i just get a fail message. qr login also isnt woriking and i cant find any help on their website. just awful for no reason.
Very laggy and annoying to use. Modules aren’t organized and everything is just AWFUL to use. Good thing we are switching to Google Classroom. Google Classroom is less laggy, so think about this as a recommendation to tell your school to NOT use canvas.
w shiny hunters
work suck home work
This app was good, but a random mobile update made it act very slow and now it takes 10 minutes to load every page. I dread needing to do work more then i normally would
I used to love Canvas. I used it every day for my classes and it was so helpful to be able to have open and refer back to when doing reading assignments on my phone. But since the crash, I haven’t been able to log back into it. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading it multiple times and nothing has worked .
HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET A GOOD SCORE ON A QUIZ WHEN THE DAMN LATE PENALTY IS THERE TO SCREW EVERYTHING UP, FIX THIS
Please correct this when you push the next update! Thank you! As a university student when opening up an assignment page, the rubric only opened when you clicked “rubric”. The current version is different. The current version already has rubric opened when you open up the assignment page, so you must scroll past the rubric the get to the part where you submit an assignment. It’s a messy UI/UX from my perspective. It could complicate learning for new Canvas users and its frustrating current user to close or scroll to get past it. Thank you! =^•^=
Bugs out easily hacked easily and unreliable
It makes no sense my school isn’t even on the school thing i can’t get in my school but in google or safari I can? This to me is a problem i don’t like that I cannot get in my own school because canvas doesn’t have it!
This is why it sucks to do work on it because when you try to sign in, it won’t let you even if you try the pastkey thing where you use your face your fingerprint or your pin to get into your iPad or phone. Also when you do the thing try another way it still won’t work and if you even contact the dumb admin, it doesn’t work. The only thing is you could contact your teacher, but they might not answer or you could do contact the TI which is like the password place, but that’s only the other thing and you wouldn’t want to do that because it takes so long to do so that’s why you wouldn’t wanna do summer work on it and I’m talking about when it says password not the email. The email works so easily. It’s the password that sucks.
Bad
Instructure gets hacked and leaves my private data in the hands of scammers? Absolute joke. I cannot wait for the day I can delete this app and never use it again. DO NOT USE CANVAS IF YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS!!!
Title says it all. Really sucks. Most of it doesn’t load. Is ugly as hell.
Dashboard shows unfavorited groups but otherwise works fine.
The new update is so slow!!! It takes forever to load everything. The to do list isn’t accurate. If you swap back to the old version, it loads quickly but it doesn’t populate a to do list!!! Why mess with something that worked??? No need for a new look. You should have beta tested it before releasing!
Can’t get past the loading screen after putting in my school name
The only thing I want to see is my classes and they are extremely difficult to find given the new update.
I couldn’t even find my school district.
first they are being hacked , second they sign you out for no reason , third it never works . i dont like canvas what so ever . the submissions barely go through .
Just like the title says every thing is great and other people say it runs smoothly, tracks grades, etc. But there is one problem I would like to suggest, is when you try to do something with the text entry section, and accidentally click the refresh button and it doesn’t save. I wish we have this feature in the app and the website because I know a lot of students gets frustrated with this part, and we typed all of that, just to lose it, so please make this feature that is available for students, not just a feature that is only available for instructors. And any part that has a text entry, like an assignments and/or the discussion part should be an available feature.
I just accidentally update new version and it doesnt work well. For my to do list, now it appears nothing due for me. So I cant track what assignments Im missing.
it doesnt show my school
Used to be good but the new update sucks. My classes never load properly on the dashboard
The functionality is nice, but changing the to-do list made it look and function poorly. After the cybersecurity attack it took weeks until my specific school got at least some stuff back up and running. Zero direct communication to users STILL having issues after weeks.
The new update took off mobile device accessibility on the phone and iPad. When viewing files, the same file viewer from the web version appears, successfully taking away valuable spaces with zoom, page count, expand, download, and it show empty white pages outside the page edge. In addition, you cannot zoom in with your finger to your desire location, you are forced to zoom with the +/- and the page zooms to the edge of the page, and you need to find where you were last time. All of these make the already small documents look smaller on mobile device, and disrupt the instinct to ZOOM IN or OUT with your fingers. The mobile app should be a quick easy way to access materials on the go, If I wanted the web version, I would have use a computer or laptop. The to do list panda and check box is also not needed for many others who would prefer a cleaner page as before. Please enable a system where students can customize how it should look according to accessibility.
Useful for school and everything when it actually works. For me, everything is constantly loading, like the files page, assignments page, announcements page, and the grades page. I either get error messages or it buffers for forever.
