I’m a student at Watertown Highschool and Doorman simply is not ready to be used in schools, I don’t blame Watertown for implementing a bad app into our system, they’re just trying to improve our learning environment, but idk what in the world this company was thinking, believing their app was ready to be used by hundreds of students, EVEN AS A PILOT RUN. I was excited to see how this would impact our school, and it’s done nothing but hurt it. It’s honestly sad.

I’m one of many students under doorman. And it’s truly not that bad. Something seen commonly in reviews of this app are security concerns, but frankly society media platforms carry a much more weighted security risk. Either way, the app functions as intended, it locks your phone annoys you but in the end prevents the need to have it physically taken. Plus the ability to utilize your phone during passing periods is extremely valuable. It even has an emergency unlock providing security to the safety concerns often addressed. That being said, it glitches and makes it difficult to unlock/lock in, or messes with your phone occasionally. Even without it being in beta one large criticism me and many others have is: it doesn’t automatically unlock. When going into passing periods you have to manually unlock, when leaving school you have to manually unlock. If you forget then you may be in a situation where after school you go to a club, you forget to unlock your phone and when your parents text you, well, you simply don’t see it. So this is my inquiry to those who have created and can alter doorman, please consider automatic unlocking.

Good concept, but… My school implemented this recently as a part of *attendance checks.* A glitchy app that is constantly malfunctioning and, for reasons unfathomable, is updated near-daily instead of grouping the dozens of tiny changes into at least monthly, larger updates. If your project is still an alpha, no shame in that. But for the love of muffins, do not inflict your underbaked beignets on hundreds of undeserving strangers.

This is a very bad app whoever is the admin needs to work on making it more successful you shouldn’t have to unlock your phone after class it should automatically unlock since it know ur schedule
