Our take
Saturn is attempting to rejuvenate the social-media space with a calendar-based app for high-schoolers to track their schedules, interact with classmates, and access important information. By layering messaging and other social features on top of a calendar feature, built especially for hectic school schedules, Saturn has seen explosive growth and is now active in institutions across the US.
Despite claiming this early success, the app has more recently been plagued by safety concerns - with parents claiming they were able to create fake profiles with little issue and access information including links to students' other social accounts and even their schedules. It has responded quickly with promises to improve security, but for now the damage to Saturn's reputation is clear - and it may take a while for it to find its momentum again.
