Great app, and it makes reviewing work easier. However, I think there should be an option to change submission type from the app instead of having to go through a browser. There have been a few instances where I neglect to change submission from "No submission" and don't have access to a computer right away but have students waiting on me to correct this.

Further lowering my rating of this app. It already has limited functionality compared to the student version; today I discovered that when writing an announcement, you can't reposition the cursor. As a result if you want to correct a typo you have to erase everything you've written after the typo to fix it. This makes the announcement functionality effectively unusable.

For the most part it makes it convenient with checking in on students, grading, etc... a couple of annoyance: PLEASE adjust the settings so we can copy text. Especially on canvas emails!!! I hate that I have to get on my desktop just to copy text in canvas. Also, it would be nice to just have the overall BASIC settings the desktop does, for example, just simply unlocking a module. The developers need to have a roundtable with teachers to discuss where Canvas falls short, mostly with the app!!
