An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Saturn solves a specific problem: a high-schooler enters their class schedule and sees a countdown to the next bell, and can compare schedules with friends. For a high school student it works. Problems start in college: the school database is incomplete, verification via institutional email breaks. The in-app messenger lags. Privacy is a weak point: the app exposes schedules without verification.
