Perfect tool for predators to find victims
Dragon Momma 27 on 2023-08-18
The safety features are a joke so anyone can pretend to be a student and get access to where any student is during the school day. PARENTS- There is an app which has exploded in popularity this week at my daughter’s school called Saturn. It is a scheduling app in which you upload your class schedule, and it tells you who all is in your class. Neat concept, right? After downloading it myself to understand it better, what I found was surprising, and the reason for this post. Upon launching Saturn, I was asked to provide a phone number as my login ID— although I could have logged in with a School email address or a Snapchat account. I was prompted to enter my birthday and select a graduation year. (The app was originally intended for only High Schoolers, so I had to fib and give it an incorrect birthday and the wrong graduating class.) I then was able to join ANY school I desired in the country. Naturally, I chose my daughter’s school. At this point, I have not had to verify anything except a phone number. Not my name, birthday, where I lived, email, relation to the school, etc. I was just a 41-year-old man using the Saturn app to gain access to 350 new friends. The app indicates you would need to verify you are a student (using a school email) to see the schedules of the other students. But this is not exactly true. I was able to input a bogus schedule (choosing from a list of teachers the app provided) and see who was in any class. I was even able to see a girls athletic team roster. It then told me who all had joined my classes. And then, simply by changing the teachers on my own schedule, I was able to see who was in ANY class. So, it’s not unreasonable to think that a predator or intruder could compile a full schedule for any student in the app without ever having to fully log in. But the reality is, even if the app did require an official login, it's still allowing anyone in the school to see my daughter’s schedule- a bully, a stalker, an unwanted admirer, a mean girl, etc. But the app doesn’t stop there. Each student’s profile allows them to upload a photo, a description of themselves (which some did) and add links to their Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Venmo, or any website they choose. I was able to click the student's links and watch some reels right there in the Saturn app- thus gaining more information about them. There is also a Direct Message feature available for private discussions, which is unlocked once you verify yourself using a school email address. So, anyone who has logged in, can now DM your student. Taking this a step further, I realized I could change my profile name, even if it matched another student in the app. What would stop me from cyber-bullying using another student’s name? Another "feature" is a Bulletin board where students can post school events. One of the posted events was this Friday evening's game. The app gave the location, date, time, and (thanks to the social nature of the app) a list of all the students (and their profile pictures) who will be attending. The last thing I’ll mention was the most surprising. Let’s remember, I have not had to verify who I am at all— in the app I am a 14-year-old in 8th or 9th grade using a fictitious name. Within just a few hours I had received 3 friend requests from students. 2 girls and 1 boy. I’m not sure what the benefit of being “friends” is within the app. I did not accept their requests, so I can only speculate what could have happened at that point. I suspect we could have sent DM’s or photos. Instead of getting mad at our daughter for wanting this app, we used this as an opportunity to educate her on the realities of the world we live in, and how what was described to her as an innocent app, turned out to be a whole lot more. In the end, I am just a dad trying to protect my daughter. Please don’t think I am here to shame any parent for allowing their child to use the app. Some of you may be fine with its features. Others, not so much. Some may be as clueless as I was. Some are just trying to keep their head above water. I get it. I am here simply to share my experience, because ya know, it takes a village. And really who has the time to dissect every app, movie, book, etc. which these kids get ahold of these days?

Another "feature" is a Bulletin board where students can post school events. One of the posted events was this Friday evening's game. The app gave the location, date, time, and (thanks to the social nature of the app) a list of all the students (and their profile pictures) who will be attending. The last thing I’ll mention was the most surprising. Let’s remember, I have not had to verify who I am at all— in the app I am a 14-year-old in 8th or 9th grade using a fictitious name. Within just a few hours I had received 3 friend requests from students. 2 girls and 1 boy. I’m not sure what the benefit of being “friends” is within the app. I did not accept their requests, so I can only speculate what could have happened at that point. I suspect we could have sent DM’s or photos. Instead of getting mad at our daughter for wanting this app, we used this as an opportunity to educate her on the realities of the world we live in, and how what was described to her as an innocent app, turned out to be a whole lot more. In the end, I am just a dad trying to protect my daughter.
disappointing

I just recently downloaded the Saturn App. I put in my birthday, phone number, and connected to app the my snapchat. However, as soon as I put in the code sent to my messages, the app gives me “Safety First” message. It provides me with two different links, “Safety Center” and “Get Help”. I don’t understand why the app insists I am not a student even though I am in high school. I wanted to use this app to be able to see which classes my friends are in, but it seems like I won’t be able to use it anytime soon. Unfortunately, the only way I will be able to use this app is if I contact the “Support” team, and who knows when they are going to get back to me and help me resolve this issue. I was really looking forward to using this app, but I am extremely disappointed in the amount of “safety precautions” and the fact that this app thinks that I am not a student. Is there anyone that would be able to help me resolve this? I would really love to use this app this school year.
A school shooter's dream
about to sue Apple and Kabam on 2023-08-18
This app has almost zero security. A group of parents downloaded it and we were all able to access any schedule in any school nationwide without verifying identities. That is already problematic, as the last thing anyone needs is for dangerous strangers to have a schedule to use to kidnap children to traffic. this app is also a map for a disturbed school shooter to find all their victims. Think about that use of this app. Your children are on these lists even if they arent on the app. And what is the benefit? for decades kids have mastered their school schedule within a week with a piece of paper. Kids do not in any way need to be enabled to rely on their phones, they are in school to learn to rely on their brains. I hope this app is reading this review, because you will be found fully culpable when your app is found to have been used in a school shooting!! too bad you can't give a negative infinity as a rating because you sure earned it
