Daniel Muñoz (ID: 000000d491c43d77) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/25/2022 I really like it but for some reason its not loading anymore :/

Jeremy West (ID: 000000c885e7418e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/15/2021 This UI is absolutely amazing. A lot more modern. What would be nice is if it actually modified Canvas itself, instead of just adding a separate Power+ page.

Matt (ID: 000000937723ee22) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/28/2021 This extension does not necessarily integrate with courses well. In fact, quite the contrary. A substantial portion of course material is rendered ineffectively and obscures elements of design that are essential to student accessibility. This extension may have a place for certain observers (like parents) but it should by no means be installed and used by a student who is not already familiar with the course content, instructor practices, and even then I wouldn't recommend it. I have hundreds of students each year and Canvas is an integral component for course administration.

Jeff Peeseps (ID: 0000006fe2d24b21) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/24/2021 Great but change the g to single loop like this review has and allow submissions. Also some modules dont show up.
