been using this extension for years and i don't love the new update. the better campus menu won't even open when trying to edit my theme and i don't understand why. theres absolutely no way i can edit the first theme i put when i first logged in.

I had been using bettercanvas for a couple years now and the new update is horrible. Mainly because it won't even open at ALL. Every time I think I'm going to sign up or even open it i just get sent to the chrome webstore?? It might just be user error but I can't even use the extension anymore.

I agree w people that previous update was easier to use but nonetheless its a good extension. I'm wondering what happened to the add to multiple canvases option. I attend two colleges and with the new update there are bugs trying to use it with multiple canvases such as the "to-do" progress bar isnt visible on both and the theme bugs out. thx!

Is there truly no way to search for themes? That seems like a horrific oversight.

update sucks! why should i have to make an account? bettercanvas i thought you were better than this. bring back the old version!

I love better canvas but I have an issue with my card images being blurry. what is the best way to upload?

i just spent 30 minutes making my own theme. in better canvas, it would apply IMMIDEATLY and save it. I saved this new theme, created it, and then when I went to go apply the theme, IT WAS GONE. i ran into a similar issue last semester where when I applied the theme all the photos were gone and the color scheme was off. i miss better canvas.

Great site though the update still needs some help. Biggest issue I've noticed is that the "load more" button does not always show in the "liked" section, this bug could effect other pages as well. I have around 30 themes liked and was able to load all of them via the "load more" button (right after I redownloaded for the new update), but after closing the page the "load more" button is gone with only a few themes showing. I have tried reloading the site several times to no avail.

Extension used to work great- but stopped working recently so I redownloaded it to an entirely new layout. I have been getting used to it, but I have been facing an issue where the pictures on my cards are affected by a color overlay whether or not I have color overlay turned on in the canvas settings. I looked into the specific theme I was using, and it looks like the color overlay is linked with the color of the text of the name of the course. This makes the pictures look odd, in my case, darker than they are supposed to be. I am unsure if this is a feature or a bug, but it is rather annoying since my pictures do not look how I expect. (Also is there a way to search for themes?? I don't see a search bar in this version but there absolutely used to be one.)

I LOVED this extension and just today was trying to change the theme and nothing would load, so I re installed the extension and it keeps popping up with an error message that reads "open canvas" as I am in canvas.... so what now?

Used to work fine, but themes are entirely broken now. Previews will use images from a theme you're not looking at anymore, and editing themes is a nightmare. I can't get it to work for more than 5 minutes without breaking completely and having to reload the page and restarting.

This used to work just fine the way it was Today I see that the app got the update that tells me its gonna go down the drain. It happens all the time with anything that is genuinely useful Now I need an account to use a browser extension. Am not giving u my email lil bro and am also not paying u to do things the app used to do for free, 3 theme swaps per week LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

it doesnt work anymore, i tried to delete it and redownload it and it still wont work.. specifically trying to change the themes and it wont work but now after redownload, it will not open at all :( i reallly liked this app hope it gets fixed soon

It was better before they added AI. Now it doesn't work. I like the ability to edit and make your own themes, but it doesn't load properly. Is there a legacy version I could use?

Oh i am so upset, i uninstalled and re installed due to the extension acting up. now it doesn't work at all :(

It makes life worth living at school honestly HAHA 10/10 ❤️

pls add ability to resize the pop up menu

Bettercanvas is literally the single string keeping my sanity up for finals as a STEM major. Normal canvas feels like a prison.

Is there a way to use the previous version? I think it is unnecessary to sign up for an account just to use the chrome extension. I also really liked how the previous version's UI looked :(

The best extension to for canvas. The new update is also so much more organized

Ratings looks absolutely fake to me, specially for an app that doesn't even open. I click on it, it says in a popup: "Head to Canvas to activate BetterCampus!" while giving not a single clue on where to go exactly. But the ridiculous part is that I managed to find out the website for the extension on google, but it redirects to the extension page again!!!!! So it's like: extension -> go find the canvas site on your own, and don't ask me about it -> found the website -> good, now go back to the extension download page on chrome ->..... and the infinite loop continues 🤣. Genius!

Hello, I just installed and I have a question. Its asking me to create a free account. If I use a different account other than my school account would it mess up my canvas which may result in locking me out because its two different emails? Or would this be fine? Other than that, loving it so far.

eh i preffered it before the update, lowkey wish there was a way to just have bettercanvas. the themes are WAY too hard to navigate now, there's no way to search them. but, i can't just go back to regular canvas so here we are

My canvas is so cute now and when I plan my work for the week it is so easy to see upcoming assignments.

I love this it's so helpful and i can manage things easier

I like it and even though I liked it better before the update, it works fine. One thing I don't like and can't figure out how to get rid of is the to-do list. There is no option for removing it and it has skewed my canvas pages when I try to view my grades.

Can I just have the previous one? Too many has changed, I liked just like it was. Changing the entire deam thing during finals is a low thing to do. It was fine, you could have waited.

It was working amazingly for the first couple of months. It could be the new update but when I went to go update my theme the extension wasn't responding. I've removed and reinstalled the extension 4 times and restarted my computer. Now the menu won't even open.

This is amazing! Just some room for improvment..

Great extension. Highly recommended.

after the new update, it stopped showing my upcoming assignments on the task cards :( sure it looks prettier now with the new themes and stuff but it's no longer functional for me. hope they fix this soon

Could be absolutely amazing, but it's not. The ability to add images for the background is awesome, but the fact that the images tile instead of filling the background is amateurish. Unless the devs implement a way to fill the background image so it doesn't tile, I don't see a point in starting the paid subscription. The customization is the whole point of why we get the extension. LET US ADJUST IMAGE PLACEMENT AND ADD A FILL OPTION SO IMAGES AREN'T TILED! Seriously, even the sidebar option, LET ME CENTER THE IMAGE TO A POSITION I WANT!

I hate the new update

my school got rid of this and i want to cry.... my canvas is ugly

It looks much better but on the GPA and grades page, it said I had an F when really I had a B in a class. So it stressed me out more than it should, but the appearance is better with Better Campus.

its too bad that I cannot edit anything with this and any themes or extensions are not available whether its because of bugs or for just some reason being stuck on the "use the border to move around" and being unable to move or continue after

I liked it when it was better canvas, this one is much harder to navigate

why do we only have a 2 week trial, really good but why 2 weeks

soooo many bugs now, this used to be so much better before the upgrade to bettercampus

I dont think I would be able to make it if I had to go back to using regular canvas

SUPPER RECOMMENDED awesome function awesome themes everything so awesome

This extension has helped me so much during school! i dont know what i'd do without it.

This is honestly amazing. I use canvas for everything I do in school and it really helps. It shows you exactly what you have to do, gives you check lists, IT PUTS IT ON DARK MODE (witch I love), you can pick from soo many themes and I really enjoy this. ANDDD its free!! I very much recommend this to anyone who uses canvas. It also makes it SO easy to check my grades and see what I need to do for the week and or day.

I really wanted to like this extension, but unfortunately, my students’ homework assignments wouldn’t load with it installed. Once I uninstalled (or deactivated) it, I was able to see my students’ assignments and grade them again. Other than this one issue, I really liked the extension—hence the three stars. But it’s unusable for me if I can’t grade assignments.

Great Extension, However, I did finally come across an issue after using for one semester. I marked an assignment done on accident then I went on the completed list and put it back as to do then when I finally did the assignment I tried to mark it back as done and it will not let me.

If I had reviewed better canvas a couple of months ago I would have rated it a 5 out 5 stars, but after the latest update I have never been more disappointed by a new update. Features the were previously free are now paid features through a subscription service. I've read other people stating you have limited theme changes. They put me on an automatic free trial for one of their plans so I haven't been able to access the "basic" plan yet. It's upsetting that a once completely free extension is now one that has subscriptions if you want more/better features.

does what it says. Gives a decent bit of extra features for free.

I really like this extension when I used it in the past, but I'm personally not a fan of several features the new update adds. Things I like: - I really like the new Assignments page the widget adds - It's wayyy easier to find new themes Things I don't like: - I think the new update adds a bunch of extraneous features that aren't that helpful (music player, mindfulness counter, AI notetaker, etc). - The BetterCampus being in the Toolbar as my Dashboard, Courses, Groups, etc is distracting and being unable to customize it makes the logo stick out like a sore thumb. Would like the option to hide/customize it - Not the fault of the app, but I'm not a fan of how the new UI makes my Canvas rounder. It looks too corporate and round and I'm personally not a huge fan of that art style but that's just personal preference. - Extension is pretty laggy when browsing through themes in the extension - BetterCampus on Firefox doesn't display due dates, which is unfortunate because that is BetterCampus' most helpful feature Would love if there was a way to opt-in/opt-out of the new vs old versions

Good tool that makes Canvas 10% nicer to use (so totally worth it), its also completely free. Its a no brainer imo.

I love better canvas. I wish, though, that we could save themes we like in an easy to navigate to folder. I also think a "preview theme" option would be great.

Good overall but would not save my notes for the life of me! It's super frustating when it freezes and all it'll save is half a sentence from a full lecture's worth of notes.
