Not thrilled
So far, app is not working. I’ve added my ID and tried taking a selfie for verification over 8xs. Just keeps saying error. I’ve tried different lighting and I have good service plus wifi. Does no good if can’t work right. My kids school wants us to use this app but how if it doesn’t work
Fast
App setup was a breeze, with a quick scan of my state issued ID and then a selfie (I mean, who can’t take a selfie these days?!). I was instantly verified in the app. At a school event, I was able to bypass the long parent line and head straight to the door, where a scanner scanned my phone and allowed me to enter the event. So convenient!
I read reviews of a data breach, and then did a simple online search to discover there was no breach. In 2024 a security researcher found an unsecured database, told raptor’s company representatives about it, and raptor had it secured the next day. There was also no evidence of third party access to the unsecured database.

Garbage
This app has so little information you could delete it and nothing would change. Doesn’t let you know anything when picking up your child. If I could rate it zero stars I would.
Does not work at all
I don’t which company from which country designed this. But it doesn’t work. Pain for everyone. Time to resist this app.
Deletion
Raptor Technologies collects your personal data : name, date of birth, partial license number, and photo, every time you visit your child’s school, yet deliberately excludes visitor data from their public facing privacy policy. When I contacted them directly to understand how long my data is retained and to request deletion, they deflected me back to the school district.
The school deflected me back to them. Meanwhile, in January 2024, Raptor exposed over 4 million records: including visitor driver’s license data
, in an unsecured cloud database with no password protection. There is no publicly stated fixed retention period for your data, no transparency about third party sharing, and no straightforward path to deletion. This app is installed in schools across the country and parents are given no meaningful choice but to comply. Every parent scanning their license at a school front desk deserves to know exactly what they are consenting to and right now, Raptor makes sure you cannot easily find out.
