### 1/5 — DISGUSTING

*2024-08-15, version 2.3*

It’s bad gets hacked easily almost got my ipad murdered ABSOLUTELY STUPID DEVICE MANAGEMENT APP absolute dog water

### 1/5 — I LOVE this app fr!

*2024-08-10, version 2.3*

So fun! I lost all my notes and important files! Thank you! 🤩

### 1/5 — Disgusting app probably coded by retards

*2024-08-09, version 2.3*

The thing is not even coded properly, it has glitched at least over twenty times over this 4 years and every time it absolutely prevents the uses of the iPad
And this time half of my class loss everything including notes, and we are sec 4

### 1/5 — MOE should terminate your contract

*2024-08-05, version 2.3*

This is a disgrace, this is the 2nd major cyberattack this year, not even taking in consideration of the glitch which caused my iPad to be factory reset and a loss of my notes which was not stores in iCloud.

### 1/5 — What kind of app is this

*2024-08-05, version 2.3*

Now due to the incident where a hacker wiped a lot of students notes and presentation you cant access anything let alone connect to the internet. I already saw a red-flag while reading the description saying the school will get complete control over the pld which should not be the case in the first place. Just because of one guy more than 13000 students have had the data deleted just because there was a feature in the app for a school to delete the students notes. What kind of app is this just use apple classroom instead of this

### 1/5 — This app is the catalyst of a nationwide almost coronavirus like disease

*2024-08-05, version 2.3*

I cannot begin to express my disappointment in this app. Honestly, I couldn’t care less that my teachers and parents can monitor my ipad activity. What bothers me however, is the fact that just because MOE wishes to monitor us, you have caused such a ruckus for all of us students. TWICE THIS YEAR. Don’t you think that’s wild? 

Not only am I being prevented to do my work any later than 10pm, I find myself having to force update my apps because Mobile Guardian just does not show the “update” button. This happened to my Gmail and Notability. 

And then you cause our ipads to disconnect from the wifi. After that, you somehow manage to be this incompetent in protecting our data and allow it to be leaked? And now you’re telling me that those who have the wifi issue are now affected by a cyber security breach? How are you going to be able to track us and be a trustworthy app under MOE when you can’t even safeguard our data properly. Our ipads were wiped out, and all our ipads disappeared. To the future generation, this app really isn’t good. It’s the bane of our existence, and I’m so glad that MOE chose not to let us use this anymore.

Genuinely I’m disappointed in this app. You have caused students to be stressed over this because they have lost important notes for their studies. Their drawings to disappear. All their data and apps to just be wiped out completely. Honestly, it’s best that you don’t come back. Ever.

Cheers! We finally see the end of this horrendous experience.

### 1/5 — Atrocious disaster

*2024-08-05, version 2.3*

Absolutely disgusting, preposterous app that has been implanted to constrict and demoralise the minds and psychological wellbeing of young children, the pillar of hope for our future. Chances are, that random people in the UK has access to our data right now, this is exactly why the world looks down on us as such fragile, incompetent cyber security for our apps have been installed. I have lost everything.
My notes, my apps, my wifi and my future. I will be homeless on the streets and its all your fault. You know what you did. The day will come and you will have to confront the consequences of your actions and the only path you will walk again is the endless path of suffering. The leaked information of small, young children is now in the hands of many, and who knows what they would do with it. Do better.

### 1/5 — Coded by a 5 year old

*2024-08-05, version 2.3*

Locks everything other than illegal websites..causes my ipad to crash. Only solution to fix this is to factory reset my ipad which caused me to lose so many files. As a student of a school who made us download this app, it is an absolute joke. Im pretty sure that this app was coded by a 5 year old. Imagine nearing your exams and not being able to access the only device with all your notes on it. This app was downloaded by the school in hopes that students can responsibly use their devices. However, all it has done is to make our lives as miserable as possible and making my hard work go to waste. I hope the developers can wake up their bloody idea and fix this app!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2024-08-03, version 2.3*

I is very annoying as I cannot study after 11.It blocks the important apps and it always makes my pld lag

### 1/5 — Wifi

*2024-08-02, version 2.3*

Yay! It made my and many others wifi break and prevent it from working! Now we all have to factory reset our ipads to get it to work again and in the process lose all our important data! Hooray what a totally good app!
