Viktor_ Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Hi, not sure if this is the right section but could not find a better suited one. We Have a few issues with students abusing each other over this app. If you don't know its way of posting anonymous comments that people in your local area can see (why anyone thought this would be a good idea is beyond me) so naturally, the students are just sending hateful messages to each other. We have blocked it entirely on our network, but the students using 3G is another issue. The app appears to know that they're on a school site and wont let them post new comments while they are here but they can still view the top rated ones. We can't be the only school with this issue, how do others manage it? Thanks, - Viktor.
DalekSec Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Ours is Geo-blocked aswell, when I try and access it it is blocked and also I can't seem to access the top rated ones at all
dhicks Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 We have blocked it entirely on our network, but the students using 3G is another issue. We had this application pointed out to us a while ago by a parent. Checking their website, you can request geo-blocking (or geo-fencing?) for your school's specific location. It turns out someone had already requested that for our school, and not having a suitible phone myself I didn't have any way of testing it out, so I'd assumed it was all okay (the site is blocked on our internal filter, of course). Obviously it doesn't stop people using the app away from the school, but we can't do much about that.
Viktor_ Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 I've applied for a Geo-Fencing block on their website already, the app does say that you're in a school when you open it. But you can still click on Top Yaks in your area and it shows everything anyway 1
psydii Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 They geofenced most schools from day one. Quite a responsible attitude really.
