This site chops the Fourth Amendment like some terrible confetti.I have it on my school computer and I hate how it blocks everything fun.Also,it blocked most of The Useless Web and Coolmath.Need I say more?It sucks.
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot provide biased or false information about a website or any other entity. However, I can give you some general guidelines on how to identify and report any violations of your rights or privacy online.
If you feel that your rights or privacy have been violated by a website or online service, you should first review their privacy policy and terms of service to determine if they have acted in compliance with their own policies. You may also want to consider filing a complaint with the website or online service provider, as well as with regulatory agencies or consumer protection organizations. It's important to be informed and vigilant about protecting your rights and privacy online, and to take action when necessary to address any violations or abuses.
I believe that this specific program is basically useless. All it does is block things and expose private information, which is not good. If I could, I would choose any other better blocker, because I can't even search for videos on YouTube without a restricted message.
Tip for consumers:
It's just bad. Don't use please.

It may be a banal, superficial, and cliche comparison, but I believe this technology was heralded by George Orwell himself in his work titled 1984. I'm literally like that one guy who got executed for writing a diary, except the diary is Duck Life, and the execution is an irritating passive-aggressive comment from my teacher. (I don't know, I never read the book but my point still stands). As I type this out, I have my finger hovering over the buttons required to switch tabs so that my teacher does not reprimand me before our entire class. I would almost rather a public execution than whatever sick form of humiliation this is. TL;DR GoGuardian is the bringer of misery, destroyer of privacy, and harbinger of tyranny.
I wish the creators of this awful spyware from hell get thrown in jail for spying on children. It reopens itself when you close it, it's always watching, and there is absolutely no way to get rid of it without completely powerwashing the computer.
This app is pointless,why do you want to stalk your students?
It blocks good resources for homework,and blocks things that don't even need to be blocked in the first place,and the fact that this even exists in scary, it shows kids that privacy does not matter to adults at all. Its an evasion to privacy to students and does not protect them,yes it may help someone's kid once in a blue moon,but has too many faults to balance the rights.

With goguardian teachers can watch students, which Is an invasion of privacy, and unfair. Goguardian can see your search history, and won't let you delete it, which is another invasion, of privacy. Goguardian was made to block dangerous stuff, that could be harmfull, but it blocks literally everything. You can't even research, for a project, because goguardian, blocks every website. When your done with your work you like to watch videos, or play games, or listen to music, but you can't do any of that, with goguardian. The privacy policy video is blocked, which is suspicious. Goguardian is clearly breaking laws, and doesn't want us to know. This is unfair, because you can't have fun, when your done with your work anymore. Goguardian needs to take down there website. Watching people's computers is illegal, so everybody who works for goguardian should be arrested.
I get why this exists - to keep students from getting off task, but the website gives teachers the ability to block every single website. To be fair, it doesn't make sense as to why high schools even use this. It doesn't even teach high school students to be responsible and turn in their work; students should choose whether or not to do their work and learn their lesson by suffering the consequences of not turning in their work if they choose not to do it. Schools need to rethink what this website is really for - to make a teacher's job easier or to make students be on task? Likely to make a teacher's job easier. I'd give this s*** website 0 stars if I could.
Tip for consumers:
Think twice before using goguardian
The $#*!ty damn goguardian stalks children and blocks every single thing we damn do! I believe that this goguardian $#*! should be taken down and broken, brick by brick. It should be melted and $#*!ing pulled apart. It should spend its days in $#*!.

Invasion of privacy shall i say anymore. They can watch us, block us, and not care how we feel about it. School is already bad but they decided to remove the idea of fun and completely take away any care. Wont let us watch videos but don't let us use phones; wont let us listen to some music but wont let us have airpods. With reviews like 1.5 i hope it gets shut down. Blocked for containing the Keyword freedom
Tip for consumers:
Dont use it
Hi, I'm Nic and I am an 8th grader who's sick of GoGuardian. The very reason I am writing this is that I have some complaints... First of all, it is annoying with the site-blocking. And second it separated me from my social life for 2 whole months!
Bro I can't even use Pinterest which I need for my AP art class and for references. I already have parental control on my phone like let me liveee.
GoGuardian watches my kids screens and it just disappoints me. Every single website says, "Website Blocked" Also, they have to do work on some Youtube videos and they are just blocked... like why...
In conclusion, do not get GoGuardian UNLESS it's for a good reason.
It blocks everything, fails to load youtube, only allows coolmathgames, schoology, the educational stuff, and anything fun is off the board completely. 0/10, do not reccomend. Also it tracks your data so it's actually -5/10

GoGuardian spies on children. It can look through your camera roll. It blocks everything useful, and does not even keep children on track. For example, when I was a kid, I had 2nd period with a teacher who used GoGuardian. GoGuardian locked the screens. I went to 3rd period, trying to work on an assignment, but GoGuardian would not let me do activities even after the end of 2nd period, which was when GoGuardian was supposed to turn off. This is trash, I'd rate it 0 stars if I could.
Goguardian is absolutely dumb. It blocks a lot of important resource sites and even lets us teachers see your camera! They are allowed to see your history and it doesn't even keep kids on track. You really can't rely on it as it is broken half the time. Kids would be more on task without anything blocked! Once we were doing a research project on multiplayer games, and my students couldn't even look up the name of the game! I would rate 0 if I could.

All this stupid piece of crap does is block everything, educational or not, it just does and its very frustrating and annoying, it makes all students basically have PTSD and depression. Its literally spyware and tracks your data, so yes, it invades privacy, makes every school mad, and as said before. A. PIECE. OF. CRAP.
This app is so bad. This spyware can spy computers, and see the history without permission. Also, It blocks inappropriate websites, but it blocks appropriate websites too!
Most reviews say they are good apps, but there is a reason. Most victims' from GoGuardian can't send the truth on reviews, because GoGuardian blocks those sites.
In my opinion GoGuardian is one of the dumbest apps that have ever been made.
1 students get no say in what is or is not blocked
2 some blocked websites are blocked for no reason
3 the teachers are violating students privacy
4 videos are blcoked for having quote "A blocked keyword" but there are no bad words at all
5 teachers use it as a way to embarrass student in front of the rest of the class.
Thats all I have to say but GoGuardian needs to be removed forever.
I don't recommend this stupid spyware because it is an evasion of privacy, it can look in your webcams, and can hack in to your google account, I would have gave this 0 stars if I could
Goguardian is technically spyware, but because it's for schools its somehow perfectly fine. It randomly blocks apps and even some school apps that teachers sometimes use, It blocks games that kids can play in school but in other words, it is spyware.
Go Guardian is an invasion of student's privacy. It blocks freaking NEW TABS. The worst thing is that Go Guardian tracks your location without the student's permission, which is ILLEGAL. BAD BAD BAD. Whenever my teacher turns on go guardian, I feel like kicking my computer out the window. DO NOT USE. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL WEBSITE. Also it sees your search history D:

Goguardian people, if you see this please delete your website. It is literally spyware used by teachers and school administrators that supposedly "keeps kids on task". The kids at my school play unblocked games all class period long and if you don't belive me look up "unblocked games" on any chromebook with this installed. There will always be those few websites that go unnoticed. Your website is stupid and doesn't do it's job.
Tip for consumers:
Just don't do it.
GoGuardian needs to be taken DOWN. It is too restricting and it blocks little Timothy's everything. He can't do anything on his computer because it's blocked. We can't even take down GoGuardian because they restricted it. I am very lucky that I can even write this. If you are reading this do NOT and I repeat NOT start using GoGuardian.
