Lets give a proper review. I rate this as it is, not because i am a student who is using the application in question, but more of the lack of care given to the app. Id like to point out my opinion is biased so take my review with a grain of salt. This app is obviously poorly made, and points to signs of an app that wants to make a quick buck, more than a person with a good dream but bad skills. This app has far better solutions that arent invasive in any way. Moreover, the app shows glitches and real security issues for students who have the skills to take advantage of these oversights. I would not recommend, just find a way to get your kids more engaged, or use a different app

This is just infringement of private data. Technically illegal. The app is just straight up stupid and violates alot.
