- (2023-11-14) Doubue: Very useful and userfriendly!
- (2023-11-06) Camila V: nothing works, Ive tried downloading an re downloading but absolutely nothing works. I was really excited about this extension but It doesn't allow me to do anything.
- (2023-11-02) bailee: i can not get the card customization to work right for the image
- (2023-10-27) Jiselle A: Love this so much! I only wish there was an option to save your settings, like having different profiles you can customize.
- (2023-10-26) Bruce Vue: When I found this extension I genuinely didn't think I needed it. Look at me now. I love it! If you're still unsure about getting it let me be the one to tell you to get it. Also share this extension with others! Would give a 10/10 if I could.
- (2023-10-23) Nathan Klock: best "customer" service, the only way I can use canvas now. Amazing extension.
- (2023-10-21) Liya Hoang: I love this extension a lot since it makes me a little more productive somehow (totally not bc I see my hubbies a lot more—) The creator is also very helpful, so be sure to ask them any question you have about the extension :)
- (2023-10-19) Sterling: I like the amount of customizability we can do with this extension! My only suggestion is if we could also edit a light-mode, so that we can have a custom light-mode in the day, a custom dark-mode at night. Currently we can only have default light-mode with a custom dark-mode. Only one or the other, not both!
- (2023-10-18) Kayse Jones: Absolutely LOVE this extension! The custom font option lets me make Canvas much easier to read! One suggestion I would make would be on the card customization. You can add custom link to the course cards, but these links just show up as the Canvas logo. It would be great if we could pick an icon to represent our custom link! Google Fonts has an icons section so hopefully it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to implement. Either way, great work on this extension!!!
- (2023-10-17) tyson hua: How do I change the university logo on my canvas page?
- (2023-10-16) Ivanka Tupy: Love it but, i cannot put a card customization on it's not working idk why tho.
- (2023-10-14) Claire Praska (Claire): Absolutely love it already! One suggestion I would like to make to the kind developer, is that it would be so awesome if you could find a way to add a feature that blocks that annoying tour pop-up every time you open Canvas! Love you, bye.
- (2023-10-13) Dash Leibold: This extension makes me much more productive and knowledgeable about my studies!! I love it so much!
- (2023-10-11) Bailey Joyner: Its cute and all but it is really annoying that when I cross out an assignment every time I close out of canvas it un-crosses out the assignments I just crossed out. So every time I open canvas I have to sit there and cross everything out that i've already done and it just annoying. But other then that I really like the extension especially the gpa calculator.
- (2023-10-09) Lil Finway: I was amazing while it worked, but it just won't stay. It will stay for like 24 hours and then I open back up my canvas and all of a sudden known of the changes that I made stayed at all. Can I get some help having my changes stay? I use a windows computer.
- (2023-10-07) Nayeli Rivera-Mora: Its so versatile and very amazing in terms of customizing but sadly i cannot get the card customization to work :((
- (2023-10-06) Kaylie Ferguson: This is so amazing, helpful, and I genuinenly just love it! Helps me keep track of my work better, and look great!
- (2023-10-06) Charlee Rohrer: I love the concept of this extension, but I am unable to get it to work. I don't know what to do at this point, but I hope everyone who was able to get this to work, work, heavily enjoys it!
- (2023-10-05) Samm Hudgins: been using this for ab a year now and I love it except I just learned you can change your class card pictures but when I go to it it only shows a course i've already finished. Besides that though, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this extension and makes doing my work so much easier but if theres a way to fix the problem I mentioned I would love to hear it
- (2023-10-05) Cobi Stancik: The coolest thing to happen to Canvas!!

- (2023-10-02) Ivy Love: I thinks this is so useful! there are a surprising number of settings, but still not a lot. The dashboard can look slightly overwhelming if you want to see your info.
- (2023-09-26) Christopher Edel: very yummy dark mode and highly customizable, well worth it

- (2023-08-23) brigt: dipitude i am literally kissing u on the lips rn i love you
- (2023-08-21) Gabriella De Jesus: Literally the best Canvas extension you can get, actually makes Canvas bearable to use.
- (2023-05-07) Emerson Gibbs: Best extension ever made
- (2023-04-21) Kelly Ventura: What has this extension been my entire life!!! I love this and the best part is that it shows you what assignments are due without having otbe going back and forth. Another favorite 5 star part of this app is the GPA calculation!! You can see and calculate the overall GPA for the semester and what grade you have currently in you classes. YESS you also need this!!!
- (2023-03-17) Bri Hazen: Absolutely love it! This is the best dark mode extension; the default is even better than other extensions because you can actually see everything. I love that you can customize the colors, put the dark mode for certain times, see upcoming due dates on the dashboard, and the ability to see grades on the dashboard like it is on the app! Amazing job!
- (2023-02-28) Daniel Khosravi: One of only 2 extensions that worked with my university's canvas page and BY FAR the better one, dark mode is amazing this is a god send
- (2023-02-27) Alyssa Lubliner: Wow! This is so cool and makes Canvas somewhat bearable now! Thanks so much!
- (2023-02-24) TheoryofUltran: I am liking the extension so far. I have always wanted dark mode on canvas. I haven't got to explore what else this extension can do, but so far so good.
- (2023-02-23) PABLO GERARDO MORALES PEREZ: No hay duda este es el único Dark Mode que se acopla al 100% con canvas los demás no se ven algunas letras y dan problemas en cambio este quedo genial y con aspecto amigable para los ojos, 5 ESTRELLAS sin lugar a duda
- (2023-02-21) Quinn W.: Love the fact that you can customize the color palette of the entire website. Would be 5 stars but the "dashboard grades" feature only shows the grades of 2 of my 5 courses even though I have many graded assignments in all of them.
- (2023-02-21) Lillian Odom: Super accessible for ADHD/autism folks. Love the different lighting modes!
- (2023-02-06) Nick Campbell: It actually works and is extremely helpful
- (2023-01-30) keli mandi: love this extention! helps me keep track of my work. Only problem I recently faced is the to-do list not loading. It will load once and the next time i go back to the dashboard, it says "failed getting to do list". I tried uninstalling and it still said the error. Not sure what happened
- (2023-01-30) M Masood: Absoultely Sickkkk... The AMOLED Dark Mode is very useful when you are going to be spending hours on a website.. + the convinient grades on the dashboard, I don't have to manually check now what grade I have..
- (2023-01-24) Eury Speir: Overall, a extension. I tried several others before landing on this one. I like how the extension allows you to customize your dashboard. However, the dashboard assignments toggle is a bit buggy. The assignments are not showing up under the correct course card. The only other issues arise when course content creators use white backgrounds behind text, which results in white text on a white background. This is less to do with the extension and more to do with how the course modules were designed.
- (2023-01-19) DBZayan: Looks and works great on my desktop, but it doesn't work on my surface pro 8 (windows 11). Just shows up as regular canvas.
- (2023-01-13) Colin Spencer: canvas should hire you/y'all. instantly makes it a million times more bearable, accessible, and user-friendly. would give six stars if i could. this thing is a blessing thank you so much for your work on it
- (2022-11-28) Faith E.: Im not sure how to find the GPA calculator, but other than that its pretty awesome
- (2022-11-22) Michael Jacob Delos Santos: Dark mode in Canvas with this extension is great. Makes it feel modern.
- (2022-11-18) - jeff_Danuphol -: I just let you know that your extension doesn't work with this URL: https://hsccsd.instructure.com/ It would be helpful if you could add that, please Thanks love your extension
