[Mobile] Canvas Student Teacher Assignment Comments - Easy to See What Has Comments & Notifications

No easy way to know what assignments have comments from your teacher/professor in the Canvas Student App.

Currently you can click into each assignment and click on Submission & Rubric to see if you have a submission. 

In the browser you have a place on the dashboard that shows what assignments have comments, it's easy to see what one you haven't reviewed because it has a checkbox. In the app you have no easy way to know what submissions have comments unless you click into each assignment and then click Submission & Rubric. That's a lot of clicking just to see if your teacher gave you feedback.

Can we please place something in the mobile view that lists Submission Comments. A new item in the bottom navigation with a red indicator of how many new ones would be amazing.

 Or in the Notification list identify what the notification is for. You do this if it's a new course content or due date change but not when it's regarding a submission comment.

Here you can see what the notification is for but when it's regarding a Submission Comment nothing indicates that.

How would anyone know what this what this notification is regarding. Can an icon be added or can we filter based on notification types.

 

Anything would be a major upgrade from the current function.

 

I understand students can get emails but those can easily be missed with so many courses and assignments. So anything you can add to the app would be most helpful. It's on the browser so please find a way to make this easily accessible in the app.
