F securly
It's awful! It can sell your data.
Not only that, but it violates a law that states that they cannot sell your data if you are under thirteen. Most of the people who have Securly installed on their computers are under thirteen. So basically, Securly is violating the law, meaning the founder could be pressed with serious charges if someone tried and had a good lawyer. Also, it has blocked numerous educational websites necessary for school use, and has blocked multiple suicide help/prevention centers.
End Securly. If I could give it a 0-star review, I would!
- Everything i listed in my review plus lots i am forgetting
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Schools, DO NOT install this for your students! It is extremely overpriced for what it does, and it blocks websites the schools needs for learning. Get an alternative that actually works.

Securly tracks your every keystroke and knows everything you do. violation of student privacy
i am on my school account and almost everything is blocked. sometimes even educational websites can be blocked and it tracks everything connected to school wifi, texts, social media, even camera!
very unfair. they lie on their website about being certified for COPPA, but on iKeepSafe where they were certified, there is no COPPA certification.

Stamford, Connecticut
Blocks lots of websites, even ones that I need for assignments/projects. It even blocked Google Camera for an assignment!
I hate this app. It is trash.
They block Wordle Unlimited and 2048 for my free time. They blocked Google Camera for my assignments. It blocked Quora when I needed to research for a poster/project.
It wouldn't let me in for researching nature, including my favorites: cats, kittens, marigold flowers, and many others. I agree to block Securly and that students should block it when they can.
- Keeps chromebooks safe
- Blocks favorite sites or images
- Blocks gmail and google chat
- Blocks camera or zoom from my chromebook
Preferred solution: Block apps that block websites
User's recommendation: Don't show Securly again on my school chromebook.

Bad quality
Everyone that went to school can feel the pain of me, it serves no purpose you cannot go anywhere it does s not do what it says ,it says that it monitors search, and it will alert you but no i tested it with the self harm policy and nothing it deserves to be taken down if you go on to app store on school chrome it has 1000+ 1 star they should take it down and delete it they delete pointless stuff and good stuff but not this excuse of a app rant over.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
User's recommendation: do not ever try to install
