User reviews

I don't enjoy having teachers spy on us. They can see EVERYTHING, and they can lock your screen. Like if you're looking up something for a project, they can take it the wrong way and just lock you off. It's creepy that they are watching everything too.

spyware. privacy invasion. they can see everything you do, even at home. weird. for people who don't have personal computers, it's concerning. teachers abuse this app. i can't even use pinterest to find useful pictures for projects. one of my teachers constantly assigns videos to watch on youtube, but it's blocked. if i could give 0 stars, i would. Masumba Albert (an earlier review from january) states, "I looked through the accesses and privacy policy, it says 'The information we collect, and use may include, without limitation, the following kinds of personal information: First and Last name, Email Address, Login name, screen name or any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual, student Identifier. . . Classes/Schedules, Date of Birth, Photograph.' It also sells information to 3rd party websites. Not to mention it apparently also has access to the camera?" i fully understand that some of that information is needed for the teachers. but knowing that they have access to my camera is creepy. and selling that information to 3rd party websites? okay... i'm drowinign isn uhrej rhf thos keprin mg eform udigh su wnab t npat forbset please do not use this app. i feel violated. (help me)

My Science teacher blocked Desmos graphing while I was using it for math. I was working and it's not fair that it's now being blocked.
