Ridiculously bad app
This is just about the worst application I have ever used. It’s ridiculously rigorous to set up just to take a simple quiz and doesn’t even work half the time. This is also so weird and doesn’t protect academic integrity it quite literally just makes people find other ways to cheat on exams. This is also creepy and is a pathetic, hard to use and invasive app.

Terrible and invasive
I took a test about a week ago and had to use this app and it flagged me for simply stretching or itching my leg and locked me out of the exam for close to 20 minutes while the timer kept running all for no reason just for them to tell me that I need to keep all four corners of my screen “visible “when it already screen records and does all that. It’s terrible. I hate this app so much.

Ahh
Take the exams in person its not worth it to use honor, its horrible. Im in a statistics class and obviously for math i need a calculator, since im using honor i have to manually switch tabs everytime i want to use the online calculator because in person ones arnt allowed. An annoying text box saying i cant switch tabs pops up everytime i use the calculator. Its better in person its not worth them watching you through your own computer and phone. If i could give it 0 stars i would

Worst experience
I had to do two assignments for my math class and I had a perfectly fine Wi-Fi. My computer was fine, but the system was so slow that it took me over an hour to figure everything out. It was the most frustrating experience I've ever had and on top of that, I wasted time during my test because my camera was still not good for them. I understand the need for a system to make sure that there is integrity when taking online exams, but this is completely ridiculous and is a horrible tool to work with. I wish there was a better system in place for this because I understand the need, but this is horrible and outrageous.

HORRIBLE app
Such an INVASIVE app. No privacy at all, I understand the whole point is to make sure nobody is cheating but it’s truly all up in your business. And there’s a real person watching you while you’re testing by the way, which is incredibly uncomfortable. Not only that, but it even effects the way take your test. It makes you more stressed out than you already are because you have literally physically people watching you. It also picks at every single thing you do, I put my hands down to my lap for a few seconds and I got a message saying I must show my entire arms and hands… like what the heck? This app is overall horrible and it doesn’t even deserve 1 star from me.

Feels kinda invasive
Is it not weird to have some random person that you have no idea if they’re some creep or not. This is honestly ridiculous I get wanting to make sure people don’t cheat but at the very least just make it easier and more accessible. Some people don’t have an option to go to a quiet table or even have a desk my best bet is sitting on the floor and it’s difficult to convey this. My first time using this I thought it was a bot and not a real person I feel like this should be explained more clearly.

Bruh
This app is so useless why can I not just take the photo on one of the two cameras I have to set up for the test there is a reason this app has 1.2 rating and honorlock is the most stressful part of the test like lock in and make this process easier by making it easier to get through all these check points instead of jumping through hoops just to get to the test I have been worrying about for weeks

Extremely Invasive and Unreasonable - if I could give 0 stars I would
Honorlock is one of the most invasive proctoring systems I have ever been required to use. The entire process feels like a major violation of student privacy just to take an exam.
Students are required to show a government-issued ID, show their face, record their computer screen, and allow the system to monitor their testing environment. The amount of access and surveillance required is excessive and makes students feel like they are being treated as potential cheaters rather than trusted students.
What I find especially unreasonable is the requirement to visually show your entire room, rather than simply the immediate area where you are taking the exam. Not every student has a private office or a perfectly empty, quiet room. Some students share bedrooms, live with large families, have roommates, or simply have personal belongings throughout their living space. Being required to expose your entire room to a proctoring system can reveal personal and private information that has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are cheating on an exam.
Students are also expected to have a completely silent environment with essentially nothing around them, which is unrealistic for many people. Not everyone has access to a private room where they can guarantee absolute silence for the duration of an exam.
The mobile application is just as frustrating. The setup process is intrusive, complicated, and creates unnecessary stress before you even begin your exam. Instead of allowing students to focus on demonstrating what they actually learned, Honorlock can make the testing process itself a source of anxiety.
Online students deserve to have their privacy, personal space, and dignity respected. Academic integrity is important, but there should be a reasonable balance between preventing cheating and subjecting students to extensive surveillance of their homes, personal belongings, faces, identification, and computers.
Honorlock does not feel like a reasonable testing solution. It feels invasive, stressful, and unfair, especially for students who don’t have access to a private, perfectly quiet, empty room.
Students should not have to sacrifice this much privacy simply to take an exam.

0/10 app
This sucks so bad it doesn’t even register even when I’m putting it on the QR code
Garbage software
Worst software ever
Weird
Teach made me install this I don’t like having my privacy compromised whoever made this app needs to look themselves in the mirror
Ts is just spyware
Terribly made too
Charges
I got charged 50 dollars in 3 seperate occasions just being on this app, complete scam
Terrible app
Camera work and company aren’t good, pretty terrible if you’re a teacher using this app
Worst app ever created…
I thought I knew what digital torture was, but this absolute piece of garbage app defies all laws of software engineering and human decency. A 1.3-star rating is an insult to other terrible apps because it implies this thing actually functions on some baseline level, which it profoundly does not.
Testing with this app is less of an academic evaluation and more of an exorcism where your phone gets possessed by a demonic entity. It demands angle perfection down to the sub-atomic level, freezes your entire screen the exact second you try to frame your workspace, and then has the absolute audacity to crash, locking you out of your exam while the timer counts down your academic execution. It acts like it’s guarding the Crown Jewels instead of letting someone submit a simple midterm.
Using it feels like a deliberate psychological experiment designed to see how close a human being can get to throwing their $1,000 smartphone directly through a drywall. If you love high anxiety, hardware-frying battery drain, and watching your GPA get murdered in real-time, you'll love it. Otherwise, throwing your phone into oncoming traffic sounds infinitely more peaceful.

Worst Test Taking app
This app is the worst proctor test taking app. Not only is it super buggy but the test stop automatically and takes time for you to solve things while you’re in the middle of an exam. Whatever it takes to get this app take it down I hope we make it happen.
HONORLOCK IS THE WORST
HONORLOCK IS REQUIRED BY MY SCHOOL AND IT NEVER WORKS. IT IS SO GLITCHY AND IT TAKES HOURS TO JUST WORK FOR FIGE MINUTES BEFORE CRASHING. THIS APP MAKES ME CRY SO MUCH. LITERALLY THE WORST APP.
This is so aaaahhh
I’ve been trying to log in and do my first quiz ever in college, I’m a freshman and this is a chemistry class I enrolled late, I’m literally crashing out because there is no way its that difficult to set up an app, its asking me to use 3 different devices at the same fkn time and I just don’t have time for all ts, I just want to get my work done and rest and this bs just doesn’t work, plus is asking me for 100 diff permissions and additional info like dude are we deadahh, I just crashed out on my poor uncle trying to help me bc of how frustrated this las 2 hours have been.

Honorlock update
Worst set up possible, no efficiency. Unnecessary work.
This App can RUIN your life as student.
This app literally does not work. It is a requirement to use and it does absolutely nothing. If you have to use this app for taking tests, I suggest you just drop the class before you have to take a 0 or get expelled for “cheating” because the camera for your exams shuts off mid exam or doesnt work to begin with. DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS. It will waste hours of your time.
