Even after deleting, I get nonstop notifications from this app

JJjjjjjnnnnncccc999

I ended up not needing this app and deleted it off my phone within 24 hours. I continue to get nonstop notifications to update the app in order for it to work effectively with my phone. I have quadruple checked it’s deleted from my phone - via settings, notifications, App Store. I’ve even tried reinstalling and deleting it. Still. I need this to stop. I’m about to throw my phone.

Siri

Everything was going good with this app accessing all my school documents, until my siri stopped working all of a sudden. No matter how hard I tried my siri wouldn't work. Even when I go to access it in settings.

Made me uncomfortable

This is my personal phone as I am a highschool student. I do not have the ability to purchase a separate phone for completing my work. I used Google Classroom on my device to upload pictures of homework, notes, and drawings as it is easier to take photos using my phone than the school issued computer. I also used google drive to upload audio recordings for my music class. This app prevents me from using these applications. When I was in the process of downloading this app, it was telling me that the administrator would have access to my information on my phone. I don’t care whether it’s my personal account or my school account, the idea of my school having weight in my PERSONAL device made me very, very uncomfortable. This has made uploading recordings and files finicky as I had to remove my apps I have relied on for the majority of my school career. It renders these apps utterly useless. Please read the other reviews people have left on this app.

Privacy

I mean, device manager can work alright, but when it asks you to install profile, it says your administrator can remove stuff, and check your history. This is my iPad, and I do not want anyone else to see my private information, I don’t see why I can’t be allowed to just skip this step.

Complete invasion of Privacy

Enough said. Don’t use this.

Bad reviews are largely from dumb people

If your workplace or school uses this app to enforce policies you don’t like, that is not Google's fault, nor does it indicate a problem with this app. If you’re giving this a one-star review because you can’t use your camera or you had to use a better password than the 0000 you’ve been using, go complain to your administrator instead and stop embarrassing yourselves.

Literally Spyware

It requires the download of a configuration profile, which overrides settings and allows administrators to modify the phone. These modifications can control you device password, what apps you can download, if you’re allowed to connect to iCloud, and even wipe the phone clean of all data. All of these settings hinge on what your company wants you to do. In short, only install this if you have a dedicated work phone that you don’t use for any personal function whatsoever.
