Goguardian is so bad that my inner skeleton is more hot than the earth's crust. Goguardian is so bad that I need a surplus of garbage bags. Gogardudian so is bda thta my spleling lokos inpmressssiv. Go guardian is so bad that elon musk won't even try to buy it. Goguardian is so bad that this kid from my school named viktor can literally fart it out so loud that the people on the international space station can hear it. Goguardian, I'd give you a bad look, but you already have one. Goguardian is so bad that you can literally make a happy meal cry. I don't think you know how much better this planet would be if you just left and went to Uranus. You are literally the reason why pools need lifeguards. Goguardian, I hope this is helpful, I know these roasts didn't do much with your already existent backlash, but i dont care, i had fun, great job blocking this review website!

I HATE GoGuardian. I had LanSchool Air for half a decade (I don't consider it spyware, it's actually good and legal), and now I have GoGuardian. Overview:
Control - Closing tabs, ending browsing (3.25 / 5)
Tracking/spying - Location!, entire screen (7 / 10)
Most Absurd Blocking - YouTube videos to research websites (4 / 5)
BONUS - Selling information, works at home (2 / 5)
65% illegal aka ILLEGAL

I honestly don't give a crap about the websites being blocked, because if you want to play games, then search up on youtube new websites like https://sites.google.com/view/math-tutor-learning. What really pisses me off is how GoGuardian blocks more than 75% of all videos because of something stupid like BLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE KEYWORD COMPILATION OR MUSIC TIKTOK AUTO AND VEHICLES GAMING! FRICK ALL OF THE GOGUARDIAN CREATORS! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH BY BLOCKING ALL WEBSITES BUT HECK YOU GUYS DECIDE THAT YOU CAN BLOCK YOUTUBE! THIS VIOLATES THE 4TH AMENDMENT NO UNREASONABLE SEARCH OR SEIZURE! STUPID STUPID SPYWARE! THERE'S NO FREEDOM OR GOOD EXPERIENCE THROUGH THIS WEBSITE!

Thanks for listening

It is against the law
February 1, 2023

It is a breach of the law and it gives teachers too much power over their students. Plus it can track your location and look through your webcam and is still on after school hours

GoGuardian Sucks. It mistakenly blocks websites that students need, and teachers cant really do anything because the admins are the ones who block the websites. And teachers can see and manage student's PRIVATE! Info. And they can lock the computers and completly turn off browsing. I get SO annoyed when im RIGHT in the middle of doing something and i just get the "browsing disabled" message. It also tracks things like history and all that. AND IT BLOCKS WEBSITES THAT TEACHERS INSTRUCT FOR STUDENTS TO GO ON, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS.THAT IS SO STUPID AND SO THIS DUMB SOFTWARE SHOULD BE DELETED!

It doesn't even work
March 14, 2024

I went on a GOVERNMENT WEBSITE and it was blocked! It was the TVA, so it was probably blocked because of the word "dam", as in hydroelectric power. Then to test this out, I went to the KGB's official website and it was NOT BLOCKED!

Literal trash

GoGuardian is the worst thing to happen to humanity. It is stalking you and blocks literally everything. The only decent thing is that I get a notification when it is on.

This is like a website that takes the freedom of the students away from them. It blocks even the most harmless websites. It blocks videos for being about gaming or just the slightest mention of TikTok. Not to mention how it blocks random videos. One video about a hurricane got blocked for no reason All games on all websites are blocked. We cant even open an incognito window or delete our browsing history. If you search up gun, it's blocked. When researching, it blocks crucial websites with lots of information. It even blocked Wordle Unlimited. Even teachers complain about the locked screen feature. Half of the time it doesn't work for them. Only half of the class gets blocked/locked. This feature is used to stop kids from going on their Chromebooks when they are not supposed to. Kids who close their Chromebooks before the teacher locks them and opens them when their teacher says it's time to use them, they get locked (browsing disabled). You have to reload all of your tabs if that happens. Why does this happen? Well, cuz Go Guardian only allows the unlocking of Chromebooks if they are on/open. The teacher has to select each kid one by one. Overall, Go Guardian is a website that takes all the fun away from Chromebooks and is just annoying.

Overview

The overall reputation of GoGuardian is significantly marred by customer concerns regarding privacy invasion and excessive censorship. Users express strong dissatisfaction with the monitoring capabilities, which they perceive as intrusive, particularly when used beyond school hours. Common complaints highlight the blocking of educational and harmless content, leading to frustration and a sense of distrust towards educators. While the intent behind the tool may be to maintain focus and safety, the overwhelming sentiment reveals that it is viewed as a detrimental force in students' online experiences, overshadowing any potential benefits.
