It is great when it is working.

I love using this to help me keep students on task during work time, however every time MacOS is updated it breaks and then they take time to release an update to fix it. You would think Apple software would be compatible with Apple computers on day one, but that is not the case for this application.

Needs support with Big Sur

Ever since I updated to Big Sur, I am not longer able to see my students' iPads. I have had them leave the class and rejoin, created new classes and had them join, and uninstalled and reinstalled the App--nothing works. This app is useless if it won't even show students in the classroom. I loved it before the update, now I can't even use it at all.

Has many flaws to bypass

since it requires Bluetooth and internet to be able to see and manage students computers, they know its through bluetooth to get out of it, there needs to be a stronger version that uses either MAC address or IP address

Students also figured out that they can force exit by going offline and changing date ahead and launching their app
