User Reviews

  • I literally finished my exam and it doesn't let me quit the session even if I put the password. Some error keeps happening and it doesn't even let me reload the page or fix the problem. I'm supposed to just stare at the same screen for however long the error persists for? I wish I could smash my device to see if it lets me quit then, but it'll probably remained locked anyways.
  • most of the students were unhappy when I used this program because most of them weren't actually cheating and were just playing games during the exam because they'd finished their exam already and now they couldn't play any games during the exam to kill their boredom If I need to suggest, this program should only lock some applications that are meant for cheating like google, youtube and another program that can be used for cheating and not something that is entertaining them like games and stuff and not just that, for some reasons it makes the students laptop feels heavy and it kind o scare them because they didn't know if this application can see your browser search history or not.
  • A good lock down browser. Just wanted to mention that if you are using Chrome or Edge they have a kiosk mode which will do what this does without having to download and install anything. They work on windows, mac and chromebooks.

  • after on-line test i couldnt exit the browser, there was no exit button, alt+tab/alt+f4/task manager didn't work. after i restarted, my pc was still locked. after while i shuted it down but since that moment my pc work much slower like there was a crypto mining stuff or sum. don't recomend this browser.
  • As a parent, I like the app. It keeps kids from distraction while doing a test. As a Admin, I like the app because we can force install it on all clients that are on our network.
