HORRIBLE

This app just is simply horrible. Does not work.

Ios Ipad

Avoid using iPad the devs don’t know anything about IOS iPad

Never worked

Not much to say. It doesn’t work

Didn't let me submit

After spending an hour writing an essay, I spent 45 minutes trying to submit my essay. I had two people trying to help me figure out how to submit it, as the button wouldn't work. I eventually had to fully restart my iPad, disconnect my keyboard, and relaunch the test in order to submit it.

Horrible browser

This app doesn’t work. I’m trying to log in for a college exam and it won’t take me to the correct site. It’s extremely glitchy and I don’t think I’ll be able to complete my exam using this browser. Horrible horrible browser tell your professors to use something different. Every learning system I tried for my institution does not work or it doesn’t load. Very frustrating.

This caused me Bowel Issues

I was attempting to start a digital hall pass to use the bathroom at school, but LockDown Browser locked me out of the app so I had diharea all over my seat. My teacher got mad and sent me to the principal’s office. I explained that because of this horrible LockDown Browser, I was unable to reach the bathroom in time. As we spoke, I showed the Principal that even though I was finished with my test, the browser continued to lock me out of all my devices functions. Then, I felt the need to go to the bathroom again. Once more, LockDown Browser prevented me from getting the hall pass and going to the bathroom. I then proceeded to release the contents of my intestines onto the floor of the principals office and all over his vintage African rug. I was then expelled from school. I hate you LockDown Browser.

Okay with occasional issues

It works most of the time, however when this program doesn’t work or is buggy, such as telling me to get the latest version when I already do in a high stakes environment it just adds up and gets infuriating.

ABSOLUTE awful

son i dont even have anything to say. the app speaks by itself. lwky if u giv me 5 bucks i could get u a nike elite tag tho

Literally does not function.

This app is completely unusable for anything that actually requires it to lockdown, which, if I’m not mistaken, is the whole point of the damn app. It logs you out of your schooling website, then requires you to log back in, but before you can you get a popup that asks if it can lock down. If you click no it automatically closes the app. If you click yes, it shortcuts you to your test or assignment or quiz without logging you in and then error codes because you’re not logged in. I have never been so frustrated by an app. I have NEVER written a review about an app. This is genuinely such a terrible program that it shouldn’t even be an option. Delete it from the app store.

Worst and most frustrating app on earth

It wasn’t working on my iPad or MacBook and was the most frustrating app on earth. It advertises that it works for MacBook but it was so difficult

this is genuinely the worst app i’ve used for school

Thanks lockdown, I missed and failed my exam because you would not allow me to open my test due to a “network error” despite my iPad running perfectly fine. Thanks a lot.

Ts suck

Fuhhh this app

I love gooning twin

I thought this app was gonna be an amazing addition but I was wrong. I have autism and it kept on flashing lights in my face. Eventually, I discovered I had epilepsy. I almost died using this app. I do not recommend this. Be careful when you use it keep gooning twin.

just following the bandwagon

very trash app

Horrible

Lockdown browser doesn’t work and it’s easy to cheat with it. It also messes with my students answers giving them lower grades.

Never works

So bad

This sucks

It locked my ipad down since it wasn’t compatible with it, and made me fall behind in classes.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

I downloaded this app for my first quiz and it did its job of “locking down” my iPad the problem is the quiz did NOT show and my professor never set a exit password so I spent 40 Mins trying to restart my iPad because it wouldn’t let me LEAVE

Signing in

Forces me to sign in every time despite selecting “remember me.” Whenever I enter my college it says “Institute not found” despite me tapping on the correct institution that it auto fills in.

Horrible

I can’t take a exam bc it won’t let me lock it down thanks
