This is kind of a bad app because there isn't anything that you know. If your being controlled by someone else this app should tell you who you're being controlled by and their email address. Also teachers can basically shut your computer down if your on a wrong site and I need to do my work. 1 star.

Love being able to keep tabs on my kids while having to homeschool. I can't be in 3 places at once so this is a life saver! Keeping honest children honest! I've had no issues whatsoever. One suggestion is I would love to be able to type in a date instead of scrolling for hours it seems to get back to that particular date.

I would give this 0 stars. Its evading kids privacy and its weird. I have free time in the morning each time when I go to school so that means I can use my computer but sense this app exists we can't do anything no music, no games, and no vids. All of the adults rating this app say "don't listen to the kids rating this app there just mad because they can't play games😂" like the adult even understand. I wish they just understand this is weird and give us some privacy.

You suck at helping school lives. Why is it when ANY of my teachers use this piece of absolute garbage, my works just get a stupid "Uh oh" screen? One of my teachers for some reason likes to limit tabs to very small numbers. So when I try to open a new one, it instantly closes it. And worst of all, why have the teachers see every single damn thing on everyone's screen? It just feels like a stealth mission until the app is disabled. Who really likes these apps that just invades privacy?

My concern is that the teachers get way to much power with this app there really should be a 0 star cause that's what this apps diserves. Because they can hear and see you from your computer. This is not safe for kids If some of the wrong teachers get a hold of it. my daughter was getting watched by her teacher on this app when she was at home. Yeah no. I don't recommend this app its not appropriate for teachers to use this app on there students.

Honesly this app sucks its an ok way for teachers to see what your doing but today I was writing an essay in language arts and everything but one website was blocked by my teacher about that topic it took around 25-30 minutes to find it so I didn't get as much time to write about my topic. Good idea, bad app

This app is overall terrible. I'm a parent of two kids and this app is tremendously glitchy and keeps crashing. It's definitely not my laptop since it's new. Nothing has been fixed. Please don't get this app.

This app should not exist, this apps purpose is to get into your kids business which is pretty controlling. I mean I get it some kids might into inappropriate stuff but this is not ok. My teacher is using this too and I understand that they just want to make sure we're doing our work but this is just stupid, please delete this app all the other reviews are pretty crappy too.

Thankful for this app! Although there are some bugs and updates needed, this has worked. We are a less than normal screentime family. With the increasing pressures of this era of society, we feel pushed into using more social media than is necessary. Not allowing the kids access to more apps than they need to complete school work is beneficial. Thanks!

To anyone who wants to get rid of this app. I did research and if an app gets to a 1.0 star reviews then the play store will delete . I hate this app it's to much of a privacy isue. its gives the schools to much power. i get the idea and all but it gets to the point where it feels like an invaision of privacy. they are probobly better of makeing everything paper copy work then doing this. like kids cant even do research anymore because eveething is blocked i whould say more if i hade more space.

I was already having bad work anxiety with my schoolwork and could barely get assignments done but I was okay enough to use what little willpower I had to push through enough to get decent grades. Now I can't do work without being watched 24/7 and I certainly am having my privacy violated which adds onto my paranoia/anxiety which has made my anxiety skyrocket and as a result it was too crippling to keep up with work and I am not on the path of failing nearly every class. Thanks for that.

Never again. I got this app to see what my kids were doing and making sure they stay on topic with their work. Not even 30 minutes in and the app starts glitching, closing tabs on its own accord, and then it crashed. Thumbs down.

Alright heres my take as a student who has used the product. You dont have to agree with me but I would say at least hear me out. Its an invasion of privacy. It can see all of the apps open on personal non-school issued devices and record the whole screen with pause/play controlled by the teacher. Id be fine if it just controlled chrome but the fact that it controls everything just is terrible. It leaves files on the device that it runs on and overall is just bad in general. Conclusion, dont buy

The idea was there. This app is extremely glitchy and keeps crashing. It really gets on my nerves. And it seems I'm not the only one with this problem as well since everyone else is saying that it keeps crashing. Terrible app, would NOT RECOMMEND.

There are some bugs to be worked out. It crashes semi frequently but it absolutely works as a tool to monitor your children's school activity. I was skeptical about the app due to extremely low rating but upon further inspection these bad reviews are from children that view the app as an "invasion of privacy."

My first review...wasn't really thought out to say the least, but that doesn't really change my opinion about it. I mean, who loves having someone eeriengly spy on every single click you make, or getting locked out on tabs because "that's improductivity" even though you are done? This app in reality isn't helping anyone—in fact, it gets kids around the world (mainly the USA) more stressed out than less. Overall, the app is definetly not the way of telling people to focus on important tasks.
