I really like using this app! It has been a great service to me, especially when traveling, whilst I was living overseas, and living an area where I don't have standard home internet. Two things I would like to see in a future update: 1) that the "Grade" tab in the grading view have the option for a rubric like the desktop version; 2) that the discussion posts from the grading view includes a word count like the posting side does (helpful for assignments with minimum word counts). Thank you!!

Would normally give this a 5 star. Have loved having this app as an option for grading and communicating. However, it has been more buggy lately. I'm not getting push notifications (checked app permissions and Canvas settings) and discussion board replies are unreadable in the SpeedGrader enlarging off edge and can't pinch Zoom it. Have reached out to support 4 times over month through email and help tickets with no replies. Now resorting to these reviews to draw attention to problems for all.

I used to love this app, but 2 things. 1) the grade/comments window is now to the right of the document instead of below it. This is MUCH less usable. When it was below, I could easily swipe it down to get the document on full screen or swipe it up to get the rubric on full screen. It was great! Now I'm stuck with 1/3 waste. Please share if I'm missing something (I need full screen docs). Next, please optimize it for e-ink tablets. It's amazing to read on, but the writing lag is rough.
