It’s hard to know whose at fault because I can’t get a response from GoGuardian, & the county tech Ed dept has been supposedly been working on a case w/ GoGuardian for two school years now. While I’m at work, my teenager has unlimited, unfiltered access to the internet. The county tech Ed dept claims it’s GoGuardian issue, & I can’t get help from GoGuardian so I have no idea what’s causing this. Now every time I try to open the app to see if it’s been fixed by some miracle, I have to confirm the email address every single time which requires additional steps in an already frustrating drawn-out situation. The lack of support & this non-functional app has caused a significant amount of unnecessary stress. Should my teenager be more disciplined, of course! But he was 12 when the unrestricted iPad was given to him, & he’s now developed horrible habits that I’m trying to break while having ZERO insight into what he’s doing while I’m working. Absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!!

This app is a invasion of privacy and it dose no matter if you are using this app for your child, your students or in extreme cases your spouse. My school just recently started to use this app and it is awful. I recently had a anxiety attack in class and decided I should email my counselor. In the middle of writing this email to my counselor I got a pop up from my teacher using this app and she had typed “get back to work”. She had been watching type the email for the past 3 or 4 minutes. This is a complete invasion of privacy and I honestly don’t know who thought this would be a good idea to put in schools. And if you are using this this for your child you are honestly a toxic parent. When you feel your child is doing stuff online that you don’t like you should talk to them about it not spy on there phone. This can cause sever trust issues in a child. Thanks for reading

It’s not safe, because you can see our important information that nobody needs to know (Only our families get to know our important information.) and can’t you see everyone who sign up for goguardian’s information. It’s invading people children’s private. I mean I get it like up want to know what’s going on your children’s phone, but just ask them politely...like it’s really not that hard. Y’all parents don’t need to sign up for a app that can basically see your important information on your phone. Like I’m pretty sure they can see your important information. Like they created this, they programmed this app, so basically they know you’re important information. In my personal opinion everyone should privacy. This app was very dumb to create...like this app shouldn’t have been created at all.- 🤗

First off, GoGaurdian should be considered pure spyware. The fact that a teacher can connect and take control of your own pc just makes it plainly obvious that the teachers do not have one bit of trust for you. Second, this app if you can find out can take full control of your computer with out anything the user can do about it. I’m surprised this isn’t illegal in the US. There is no way this can be legal and something for teachers to use and take control of any computer from anywhere.Third, the fact that if I bring my personal laptop in to school I can get it taken away because they can’t use gogaurdian on my laptop meaning they are addicted to their own power so much that they will send anyone to iss if they don’t have control of your laptop
