REALLY good :) i recommend this to ANY student that uses canvas at school! there's a percentage bar and everything like, themes, colours, even a to-do list! Thank you to the developers and people (maybe even students) who made this! This has definitely made school easier. Thanks!
Always shows overdue assignments as a pop-up when all of my assignments are completed, on time. It's a cute extension though.
It's really cute, but for some reason every time I'd log back onto my canvas it would not appear.
What is this update!!! please bring back the old version. now you have to pay much less all of my themes are gone. I'm actually devastated i loved better canvas as it made canvas bearable now i cant handle this update.
I really really liked the old BetterCanvas but this update left a lot to be desired for me. The new To-Do list is a good idea in concept but theres just some design choices that make it harder to use in my opinion. For example, the To-Do list being broken into drop down menus based on assignment due date. I appreciate that they are sorted by due date like in the old To-Do list, but I absolutely despise that they are all collapsed by default except for what is due soonest. Even if you expand all of the dropdowns, they'll all close again when you reload Canvas. I could easily see myself not recognizing that an assignment exists until the day it is due because of this. The old To-Do list was nice because you could easily see, at a glace, upcoming assignments even if they ranged across multiple days/weeks. To solve this, I'd love an option to have dropdowns open by default, or an option to have a simple assignment list (no dropdowns) like the old To-Do list had. I also don't love that the To-Do list is now broken into displaying only chunks of assignments based on the timeframe you set (ex. 1 week, 2 week). The old To-Do list didn't work like this. If you had an assignment due 2 months from now, you'd see it there, given there weren't too many sooner assignments such that that assignment was outside of your "maximum number of assignments to display" preference. I'd love to see that come back. I also wish that if you had enabled the BetterCanvas To-Do list, the built in To-Do list, "Coming up" list, and "Recent feedback" were hidden. There are a couple of settings that seem to be broken at the moment, like "hide the BetterCampus logo". I don't mind the developers creating some premium features, I understand wanting to make some money off of a successful service, but putting features that were originally free behind an account-wall or pay-wall is seriously lame. (I just want to set a sidebar picture like I was able to before, why do I now need an account?? :/ ). I have no problem with new features having these restrictions, but punishing legacy users by taking away things they used to be able to have free access to just isn't fair. Finally, with all due respect, STOP with the "You're missing out!" page everytime you click back on an account-wall'd feature. I understand it like once or twice, but every single time is excessive and really annoying for someone whose still trying to interact with different new things they see, not knowing they're locked behind an account. Other than those complaints, I still enjoy BetterCanvas and I hope the developers will continue to make improvements in the future.
I liked the old one, and I had SEVERAL themes that I had personally made for myself that are all gone now. I am a student in undergrad with an undergrad budget -- there is nothing on BetterCampus that I think is worth spending my already limited money on. Upgrading the UI might have been worth it for me if it didn't get rid of themes that I had made for my own personal use. And before someone says that I should have send them to be evaluated and published, they left me stalled for MONTHS on one that I did try to do that with (for a popular media that I had not even seen a theme for that character of). Very disappointed because I had over a years worth of my own themes saved on there for holidays, games that I enjoy and no one else has published, and ones that I even put together for my friends. ETA: And only having so many free swaps a week and creations a month? I won't even be in school long enough to recreate all of the themes I had and liked. Seriously? Not everything needs to be a cash grab or a side hustle.
1000000000% RECOMMEND!!! my canvas is soo cute now!! works great, has great features, and lets you design your own themes. what i find most helpful though is the study tools so amazing!
Recent changes made in poor taste.
I thought this would be really cool and fun to do. I have tried to reach out to support but emails will not go through. When you try to upload or link any image for your class cards, it will not work. I was most excited for this part. I tried everything. I went into my settings. Turned the extension off then back on, refreshed. Nothing will work. I made sure that the size and type or image was correct as well. Super bummed.
I removed it for a class now then I redownloaded it. It's terrible. I want my old BetterCanvas back. I want the old to-do list and none of these upgraded items. I don't want it behind a paywall.
I looooved betterCanvas but for some reason now I can't search anything anymore </3 Which is sad, I can only use whatever themes are on the front page : (
If you email the developer, he proved a response fast and gets your problems fixed!
