| 2024-10-30 |  | | en | Worst software I've ever had the displeasure of using. |
| 2024-02-20 |  | | en | whoever made this deserved to be publicly shamed for the rest of their life. I wish I could give this a 0 instead |
| 2024-10-15 |  | | en | First test I had to try it about 10 times before it let me take my test. Second test didn't work at all. I received a zero on my test! This added more stress onto the fact that this is my last class in my program, and I think I'm going to fail it. I would rather take an in-person test than use this. It's horrible. |
| 2024-10-10 |  | | en | The other reviews are right. Required to have this for a class, i have a pretty beefy gaming pc. Did not want to work in the first place, once i got it to physically function, it is just straight up spyware. Does not stop recording when done with tests, it will keep recording you on the screen where it says it is 'ending recording' indefinitely. Requires the ability to modify your pc to function. Requires you let it work in incognito mode- even though it already is blocking you from opening new tabs and windows, and even if you launch the tests in a normal tab. Has no reason to need incognito access except to be more invasive spyware once you think it's turned off. If you must use this to pass a class, delete it from your pc immediately after you turn in your test, then make absolutely sure it was FULLY deleted. This is not something you want to keep around on your computer even if it is a school owned device. |

| 2024-09-17 |  | | en | Terrible software, which is extremely buggy, and I've found 90% of the time, it will not stop running after I finish using it. I try to shut it down and stop it from recording my screen, but it simply won't. |
| 2024-09-13 |  | | en | Trash. Like others have said it is incredibly buggy and will sometimes not recognize my laptops built in camera... Additionally, it wants access to your entire computer even your browser even on incognito mode. I cannot imagine why it needs access to everything since you cannot take tests/quizzes without it active. It makes my computer run hot as others have stated due to horrendous optimization. |
| 2024-09-13 |  | | en | Such a terrible proctoring service, adding immense stress to test taking. Literally doesn't work half the time, the software is so buggy and a ram hog. If my gaming PC struggles with this I can't imagine a student laptop. |
| 2024-09-05 |  | | en | Just used this extension for the first time this evening for an exam and it did perform seamlessly through the process and was very user-friendly for me. However, I am extremely bothered that whilst they had no issues coming into my space and taking over my screen, activating my camera, and recording all my silly bits of reading to myself, the tutorial videos did not bother at ANY POINT to provide any information on how to ensure the session is closed out and the extension disabled again once you are done. I guess as long as they can teach you how to set it up and get authenticated in order to be tracked, they don't care a damn bit to tell you how to cease it. Do better, YuJa. The tab said, "Ending your session" and continued to spin for 10 minutes, so I simply closed out the tab since I could see my grade was recorded successfully. I then found out over half an hour later that my camera was still on (although I had closed the privacy cover on my laptop) and the extension was still active. I can only hope my activity was not recorded and is not stored or shared anywhere. **Ensure to completely close out the entire window in which YuJa was active to close the session; closing only the tab after finishing the exam for which it was needed is not enough to disable it! |
