The social and schedule sharing app Saturn has exploded in popularity with the new school year, but warnings from parents are causing some districts to block it and the app to make security changes.
One parent warned that they were able to join any school in the country. They said they were able to put in a bogus schedule using information provided by the app and that they were able to see which kids are in which classes.
One step further, the app then allows you to engage students through direct messages without verifying who you are.To top it off, the parent says she was even able to access a list of kids who were attending school events, including times, locations and photos of attendees.Some districts even banned it on school networks and on school-owned devices.
"Our rapid growth has invited reasonable questions from students, parents, and schools about who we are, what we do, and how we aim to keep school communities and students safe. We want to be clear: our most important job is keeping students safe—and we take this responsibility very seriously," Saturn said in a statement.
