- I love the customization it allows for Canvas. It makes me better able to romanticize learning because of it. Plus, it makes learning feel more calming because of all of the different theme varieties and colors.

- OMG! As a 13 years old, this is one of the best things for my classroom, I kinda tried to add differet types of apps and websites to make my classroom look better, but none of them worked, it just changed the theme from white to black. But at a time my BFF told me about it and i was like really shocked and surprised. This thing is sooo good.... One of the best apps for classroom is "Better Campus" by Geogrge and Jake. Thank you so much! Warm Regards.

- Ricardo Guerra
- it helps me keep track of my assignments and i love being able to customize the whole app itself. love this app, 100% recommend it's truly game changing for either high school or college work.
- Lesly Avila
- The reminders help a ton :) The only thing I would change is having a feature to where you could implement your syllabus and having it make a study plan for the semester while also accounting for other things outside of school (ie. extracurriculars, jobs, etc.) And having it make reccommendations as to what times would be best to study/ what classes to prioritize the most time for. Nonetheless this is an amazing extension and I'm so glad I've encountered it.
- AnaLucia Guijarro
- It is great, I love seeing my assignments side bar with the due date. It keeps me organized and up to date with priority assignments. Plus it makes canvas look cute :)

- Sergio Ramos
- its so customizable and makes opening canvas not as bad as if it looked so dead and boring!
- Arella Colores
- I love that I can see my GPA, decorate my dashboard, and see the new updates, but my only wish is that the advanced one could be free for students for 4 months. Overall, I'm happy with this since I've been using it since my first year in college, now I'm on my third year in college.

- Evie Peedey
- makes me more organized and aware and i love the fun themes. mine is jjk themed. i loveeee all college kids need
- Max Sanchez
- i love my adventure time theme and the checklist that helps me keep up with my work. Thank you
- sahniyyah mixson
- BetterCampus helps me keep up with my assignments, a busy girl like me tends to forget the assignments that are not "as important" as the others. I believe all assignments are important but the ones that take less effort tend to slip my mind and with BetterCampus it helps! I'm also competitive so whenever my bubble percentage is low, I get as many assignments as I can done. It's like a breath of fresh air seeing that completed confetti pop up on my screen.
- Riley Hildum
- It makes school more fun. I have noticed that it commonly doesn't load all of the way, I have to refresh it so it can. Other than that, thank you for doing this!
- Brandon Dennison
- I am a student and have been using BetterCampus for a while. However, my search browsers, Chrome and Edge, have recently taken forever to respond (15+ seconds to respond). I first noticed the issues around the time of the latest update for the extension, around mid-September. After disabling the extension, the browsers respond quickly which is how I came to the conclusion the extension is the issue. I thoroughly enjoyed this extension especially the taskbar that showed progress for the week for completed assignments. I hope there is an update soon that fixes this response issue so I can return to using BetterCampus.
- Paiton Fritz
- I love being able to make a sort of "safe space" when it comes to my school work. Making my working space aesthetic is a big motivator and definitely pushes me to get work done. BetterCampus is very easy to use and I have already recommended it to friends and family!
- mark yorio
- I am a GTA for a university. I recently recognized a student using BetterCampus and I thought it was cool so i got the free trial. In short, it is great and does way more than customize cool things for canvas. the use of a Calander and study resources are very optimal for learning and can be specific to each class you have! its a very great organizational tool for your learning, while making the student want to use canvas more often as they personalize. I also wanted to shout out Jake Silver for their help. as I was using better campus I ran into a specific problem and Jake helped me through it by email. not only were they very polite with their messages, but they were also very sincere AND responded much quicker than I had anticipated. I am not sure if everyone has had this luck with the support staff, but I wanted to give jake five stars as well.
- Elijah Bickmore
- Very horrible, keeps getting in my way and offering strange customizations I don't need, and it CANNOT be uninstalled.
- Ilana Purewal
- I think it is great, especially the GPA part and themes
- Kurt “Kurt” Browning
- the old version was better
- Kylie Calvert
- it helps me stay organized and its cute
- Tucker Anderson
- Everything is fantastic, and it literally saved my semester! It made navigating Canvas so much easier! Would leave more than 5 stars if I could. This combined with a study tool thing like Quizlet would be unreal
- Tahia Mahvin
- Best thing in the worldddddddd this makes me want to open and study all the time u guys should make an app for phones with extra features like reminding students to study now and like make a report card with all our grades also add another grade option like my curriculam/grade doesnt have GPA..but all aside love the webbb
- Natasha Rivera
- i love that i can customize my canvas. makes everything more personal.
- Hannah Figueroa
- I love this so much The customization and to-do list it has been so helpful for my first year as a college student
- verolu
- it is so cute
- Angela Humphrey
- Love the to-do list!!!
- Mia Garcia
- I love that I'm able to track my work and how much I've done/have left. I've always hated that I had to go into each individual class to figure out what's going on with assignments and now it's all in one place! I also love how I can customize the aesthetic; school is so soul sucking that if I have even a slightly better way to personalize it I love it. Thank you guys!
