“The Commons” phone regulation app
So my high school is implementing an app called “The Commons” in order to regulate phone usage.
From what I’ve seen, the way it’s supposed to work is, it tracks your location and when you’re on school grounds during the school day it locks “non essential apps”.
The thing about this is everything about this app just feels sketchy to me. The app requests all data usage. And the reviews are HORRIBLE, saying the app barely works. I don’t trust this app at all but they’re not letting us access our schedules for the new school year until we connect our phones.
Has anyone else used this?? Is it ok, does it actually work?? Is there any way to get around installing it on my actual stuff??? I just feel itchy about installing sm like this
