PingID 4+

I've been using this app (requires for school) for 5 minutes and already I hate it. First it asked to always have access to my precise location. They claim that some organizations require that. Fine, if that's true, ask for it for those organizations only. They don't give any indication of if yours does or not. Mine does not.
Then, I closed the app and immediately got a push notification stating that device security will be reduced if I don't leave the app running in the background at all times. That is in no way true. All the app is used for is to approve logins, it does nothing to improve the security of any of my devices, and trying to scare people into leaving it running so it can skim as much info as it can gather is absolutely despicable for a "security" app.

This app works great for me, whenever I need to authorize a login a can just click on the notification and it will use FaceId to authorize it. Also it works great with an Apple Watch, if you have the watch on and it detects your pulse you can just authorize the login from your wrist. I think a lot of the bad reviews come from people that either don’t know how to use it, don’t understand much about security, or their organization doesn’t have the application properly set up. We all hate having to take that extra step to login or to access to something, but this app makes it really easy and removes some of the friction from this action.

The app says it needs constant access to location, activity across other apps, camera, and a range of other intrusive things that it doesn’t actually need to function. Every time I close the app, a notification pops up to say that closing the app will reduce my device security. That is completely untrue and a gross way to try to get people to leave the app running in the background. The app does nothing to increase my device security so how could closing it reduce security? If anything, closing the app increases my device security because at least then it’s not keeping tabs on everything else happening on my phone.

I have to use it for work otherwise I would have deleted it immediately.
