## Reviews

### "Great Tool To Sync With Google Drive But Lacks The Features Needed For A Full LMS" — 5.0/5

> **Jesse** | *8 August 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The UI is intuitive and works perfectly with modern day web browsers and phones. Additionally, it is easy to submit assignments in your Google Drive for your teacher to grade and give feedback.
> 
> **Cons**: You can only submit assignments directly from Google Drive and can't upload any files from non Google products like Microsoft or pdfs not in your Google Drive. Additionally, there is no option to display your overall course grade for it to be adopted as a fully functional LMS for a school.
> 
> Overall, Google Classroom is a really great tool to enhance learning in class for students and is compatible with web and mobile. Google could consider adding features like overall course grades for it to be an LMS that educational institutions formally adopt.

### "Google Classroom: a smart classroom companion." — 5.0/5

> **Abheri** | *22 October 2025* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google Classroom is an excellent, free platform for managing online classes and assignments. Its core features are free and integrated with Google workspace tools like Docs, Drive and Meet. The ease of use is impressive as teachers and students can easily share notes, upload assignments and communicate in real time. The user interface is clean, convenient and easy to navigate. It is very easy and simple to upload materials and track progress. Customer support is mostly handled through forums, which can be slow to resolve issues. There are occasional bugs, such as delays in loading or syncing assignments.
> 
> **Cons**: It provides limited customization for students as well as teachers. Occasional technical glitches can be faced by users. Slow customer support response.
> 
> My overall experience with Google classroom has been great. I have been using it since my lower grades. Specially, it was really helpful during the pandemic times. It provides easy and simple accessibility, making it simple for anybody to understand. Also, our progress and assignments can be tracked.

> **Aaron** | *15 September 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google Classroom’s integration with Google services and its ease of use for managing assignments and communication seemed promising...
> 
> **Cons**: We found it super annoying that Google Classroom is restricted to real schools, making it unusable for independent instructors like us.

### "Small school big help" — 4.0/5

> **Jenny** | *26 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google Classroom has been a great solution for our school since COVID. Students and teachers can easily access it, and it integrates well with our SIS.
> 
> **Cons**: Security seems illogical and parents are not able to access their students account without using the student credentials, which is contrary to industry standard.

### "Excellent helper" — 5.0/5

> **Navneet** | *2 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is very easy to use. I can find all my classes and their study materials all in here at one place. It is also a great tool to interact with my teachers. I never had any technical errors or issues while using google classroom. The customer support is available 7 days a week. It is great value of money spent on the studies. I can also connect with my classmates and other users easily.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not like that this app only works for few months. When all the courses end, the study materials gets removed. I should have access to that all the time.
> 
> My experience with google classroom was very good. I used it on my laptop as well as on my phone. It was very useful for me as I was able to access my courses anywhere and at any time.
