Something I've learned about this app is that it can see everything that you're doing on your phone, and can even change things on your device. Since downloading, I've had alarms set, which I had not set myself, only for school days, which promptly disappear after going off. Its an invasion of privacy, and seeing as most children and even adults downloading this won't read the terms of service, they won't know what they are getting into. This is a poor evolution of school usages.

I initially gave it 1 star for it's ancient interface and poor performance, but now I came back to give it 0 stars. This is impossible, which is a shame, because it sure deserves it. I opened the newly updated app and was greeting by a message: "Loading school settings" for 5 minutes. I couldn't exit the app, couldn't pull down the notification shade, couldn't even open the sidebar or change the volume. My phone also began to heat up until the app finally crashed and I promptly uninstalled it.

The 5-Star Students app is buggy, outdated, and hard to use, with constant login issues and glitches. Many users raise serious privacy concerns, as the app asks for invasive permissions that don’t seem necessary for its purpose. Instead of feeling like a helpful school tool, it comes across more like a surveillance app that invades student privacy while offering little benefit.
