(2025-07-04) Emma Westbroek: Its nice to know how much i have left for the week but the streak feature sucks because if i have an in class assignment that my teacher grades without needing to be submitted my streak if lost and its frustrating to think i am missing an assignment just to find out it was already don't but not checked off.
(2025-07-03) Gavin Ganey: This extension rocks.
(2025-06-27) Ashley Trefethen: Amazing
(2025-06-24) Kelly Rafferty: Fantastic! I tell all my students how useful this is (and I use it myself!) it is SUCH valuable add-on for canvas. Couldn't do Grad School without it!
(2025-06-23) Camryn Taft: really cool and helpful for seeing how much you have assigned to you in all classes.
(2025-06-19) Kiara Gilbert: Genuinely has been extremely helpful for my courses. Would highly recommend because the built in Canvas task is significantly worse. Do yourself a favor and get this extension and you seriously won't miss an assignment. Just be cautious if your professor posts due dates for your assignments because if they don't, then they will not show up through the extension.
(2025-06-16) Geneva: Love it. Makes Canvas and homework easier to keep track of and more fun. Love the new streak feature and that it shows what percent of students you're in! Makes you motivated to keep the streak aka not miss assignments. It also helps a lot to be able to check things off and see the completed percentage go up. Helps keep you organized as well as relief when checking off items.
(2025-06-10) Jacky Zamora: Why did I lose my streak if I had no due assignments ? I had 90 something days :(
(2025-06-07) Mark Bleazard: Flawless
(2025-06-03) Warner Wilkins: Amazing extension! Helps me keep my assignment due dates in mind so that I always know when I need to turn something in. The recent addition of streaks is working amazingly, and keeps me motivated to keep up on my homework!
(2025-05-31) Swami Dawar: Very useful extension. Helps to visualize all of the work you have for the week and what you have left to do. Honestly would not be able to go through school life without it.
(2025-05-31) Sachi T: ate and slayed the house down. its helpful
(2025-05-30) Joleigh Barth: This is super great! One of my favorite things I have found to use for college! I used to always look at the calendar until I learned about this extension. This extension makes it less overwhelming to look at all of my assignments in one place than the calendar was. It also helps me recognize the progress and how much I have gotten done along with what I still have to do. It helps me to feel more confident when I see things being checked off and the percentage complete go up. I would highly recommend using this extension for Canvas!
(2025-05-28) Grace Grundstrom: the most helpful thing i've ever used in college.
(2025-05-28) madelyn smith: genuinely one of the best canvas extensions out there! this has helped me maintain my work and is so customizable to fit whatever canvas theme i have. also rewards me with cute little streaks and confetti when ive completed all tasks :)
(2025-05-21) Aristi Papapanagiotou: Really love this feature! It has been keeping me motivated to do all my assignments ahead of time and is really helpful for staying organized.
(2025-05-19) Isaac H: Great extension, would highly recommend.
(2025-05-18) Jordan Kearney: 10/10 TOTALLY RECCOMEND. Just finished school and this extension paired with Better Canvas (Perfect cooperation between the two btw) made school so much easier. Love the hard work and dedication put into this extension! Keep up the great work.
(2025-05-18) Ryan Kunitzer: I like it a lot because its motivating but I missed checking off an assignment that I did due to limited time to get it done (I was travelling) so it restarted my streak which is super annoying
(2025-05-16) GERARDO AGUILA: Love it tbh.
(2025-05-15) rhaiza s: i love it. it motivates me to do work all the time and it is super helpful

(2025-05-14) ruby isabella: i really like this extension!
(2025-05-12) Maria Truong: Really helped me stay on top of my assignments. I now complete my assignments 99% of the time, whereas before using tasks for canvas, I sometimes missed the deadlines. The confetti and completion rings made it more interesting too. Now that they added the streak fire made it more fun to complete assignments now. Thank you developers!
(2025-05-08) Miranda Scott: absolutely obsessed with this extension! makes canvas so much more user-friendly!
(2025-05-07) Joseph Baxter: I love this extension! It's super satisfying to fill up the circles, but its also a really good gauge for how much homework I have done for the week and if I'm ahead or behind. Helps me see how to pace myself. Love it! I also have not encountered any challenges so far!!!
(2025-05-06) Noemi Torres: Absolutely love this extension!
(2025-05-03) Rocco Hicks: Will never use another app (Besides Better Canvas as well) for college. This extension makes it insanely easy to keep up with work and see how I need to schedule my week. Also Better Canvas works well with this app, download both and you'll be set for as long as you use Canvas.
(2025-05-02) Chandler Scott: Very useful, very helpful, I like. Suggestion: Add leaderboard for most days without missing a task.
(2025-04-30) Ola Arogundade: fantastic
(2025-04-28) Hân Trịnh Thuỵ: very good but the streak never save :(
(2025-04-26) Maizie Hicks: I love tasks for canvas! and I especially love the new streaks!
(2025-04-25) Ashley Andrea: Super helpful, completing the circle motivates me to finish assignments!
(2025-04-24) Alexa Kamish: Super cute and keeps me motivated to submit things! I am a to-do list person, so this feature is perfect
(2025-04-20) Hunter Henson: The new assignment streak feature gives me even more motivation to ensure my assignments get turned in!
(2025-04-15) Mackenzie Warden: i love it!
(2025-04-14) Rory Phillips: Helps organize/seperate assignments and is really cute I love that it gives confetti on the main page for things you complete :P
(2025-04-14) Ryan Catlett: Would absolutely recommend. I love seeing all of my assignments that I have to complete for the week and leaves less strain on myself to remember everything. The streak is a nice goofy way of keeping up with your assignments.
(2025-04-14) Shianne Standridge: I love this extension but i just lost my streak for no reason i finished all my assignments.
(2025-04-14) MARCHELLE D MONDEZ: It helps me stay organized by tracking my assignments and monitoring my progress effectively.

(2025-04-08) Marko: This helped me get a 4.0 GPA! Very useful and would highly recommend.
(2025-04-07) Nicole Rodriguez: honestly its super helpful and convenient. I can add stuff to it. But it's most helpful when the teacher has already put the assignments in so it can populate automatically as a task. loving the new streaks option too.
(2025-04-03) Connie: it's great, the wheel of tasks done really does well to fuel you with motivation. it's just very satisfying to see the wheel gradually close.
(2025-04-02) Emerson Bloomfield: I love this extension! It keeps me on track and the streak fuels my competitive nature! I did have a problem where I missed a quiz but I think that problem was addressed. I also wish I could give the assignments different weights. I want my final essays to complete more of the circle than my weekly 10 point quizzes.
