Recent reviews

This extension should not be installed whether is for education or not. This is referred to as "Privacy invasion". It is very rude for teachers to spy on children. Impero software, please delete this extension. It would feel like there is a hacker blocking certain things which is uncool. Not even one person like this. Please delete this NOW.

I dont like this! This is why schools should remove this like it can lock and also breaking privacy rules. Like whoever made this app is stupid and crazy.
