I have never found a study app that I actually enjoy and that works well and is so organized and user friendly! I wish I could get my next college to use this app. how do you get schools to use the app?! The only thing I would like to see an improvement on for developers to consider is creating better study games but otherwise I love this app! ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-06-02, version 3.149.1* I love Circlein it helps with study and it helps me connect with others students on circlein ### 5/5 — Awesome Study App *2025-06-02, version 3.149.1* I used this app for two years at MDC, and it was a great resource during all of my time. I earned about $2,000 in total, and won an Apple MacBook Air in a contest. They really aren’t stingy with contests, and do give out money if you are willing to put in the effort. They are single-handedly responsible for all of my campus Chick-Fil-A purchases during my time in college. ### 3/5 — Eh. Mixed reviews. *2025-02-21, version 3.145.7* The app would be decent if it allowed me to change the privacy on my flash cards and notes. Every thing is not for everyone. ### 5/5 — the best app *2024-12-11, version 3.143.1* i love this app!! all of the participation i did got me a gift card at the end of the semester :) ### 5/5 — Good *2024-10-17, version 3.142.9* Like ### 3/5 — Good concept, extremely laggy *2024-08-28, version 3.142.6* Messages tab doesn't even open half the time, and i have to reset the app. The rest of the UI is very laggy, as is any on-screen animations. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-06-28* I think the app is very awesome you study from it and you can actually keep your resources so you look back what you have to do. It’s like a notebook if you go to your classes and you got homework you can label it and save it to check progress and your actually getting points by studying which is very motivating to some people and I have improved my grades a lot by using circle in I would highly recommend this all guys if your in college trust me you won’t regret it ### 5/5 — Great app for college students on a budget! *2024-06-10, version 3.139.4* This app has been extremely helpful for me. Being able to talk to other students in my school, join chats, post notes, read other people’s flash cards and being able to study with them has helped me a lot in my journey as a student. On top of all that, you make REAL money as you participate in the chat. As a college student, that is a BIG PLUS. ### 5/5 — I love it soooooooo much ☺️ *2024-04-29, version 3.139.3* I love how you can text other people on the App that’s from your school and you can do a video call for you to do a study call and the more you do the quest and other things on the App you get points and the more you get you can redeem it for a gift card!! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2024-04-26, version 3.139.3* This app is nothing short of awesome! There’s a multitude of resources that you can use to study for your classes, all while getting rewarded! It sounds too good to be true.. but it’s not! If you’re someone like me who struggles to dedicate time to studying, then you’ll be pleased to know that this app will help you stay on track! ### 5/5 — CircleIn Study App *2024-04-17* CircleIn is such an amazing app! Any problem you ever have with a class can be solved by this. Overwhelmed by all the assignments? The workflow is a great tool to keep you organized. Too many terms to memorize? You can create personalized study decks and review them before class. The best part though is the class connectedness. Through the class chats, you can speak with all of your classmates regarding exams, assignments, questions, clarifications, and anything else on your mind. I highly recommend this! ### 2/5 — Ehhh *2024-03-20, version 3.139.0* I thought I loved this app but honestly it's starting to seem like it's a lie ! Never got my gift card and still haven't picked the winners to a contest I dedicated everyday to. Even if i don't win , I'm pretty sure it's people who was like me that enjoyed this run and to not have sent out who won and it's been 6 days after the date they posted they would pick the winners is actually sad. I don't think I'll be using this app anymore it seems like a big fat lie. ### 5/5 — twitter for my college classes *2024-03-14, version 3.138.5* It’s rlly good and I can ask questions and not feel awkward bc there is a anonymous feature. My teacher and classmates can answer problem. And the pointsss ### 3/5 — Refreshing issue? *2024-01-18, version 3.138.3* It doesn’t refresh my page for me to receive my coins…. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SO Disappointed *2024-11-16, version 3.142.10* I loved this app! But then, I was never notified that my school would be no longer using Circle In. I had been saving up my points, and had up to $55 worth of gift cards to redeem. The app had logged me out but I was able to log back in on my computer, and I submitted a request to redeem a gift card. They denied my request because my school was no longer participating with the app. It was horrible to do this to a student who had been utilizing the app so consistently. I was never notified. ### 1/5 — Okay if you don’t mind losing $71 in points with no warning *2024-09-23, version 3.142.8* After spending a few years studying on the app, I was still having a great time connecting with classmates and earning money when Poof! Two weeks into the semester, my account was deleted with no warning. When I emailed to ask what was going on, I was told my school was no longer partnering with CircleIn. When I asked if I could at least redeem the $71 in rewards points I had saved up, I was told all my data was deleted and this wasn’t possible. Word of advice: don’t take your points for granted because they could all be gone tomorrow. No warning. ### 1/5 — Could be much, much better *2024-04-28* My biggest gripe is while the interface is smooth and simple, it is not intuitive for the actions you have to use this app for. I understand trying to replicate the success of platforms of discord, but the study rooms are only one function of many, so why is the *entire* app designed this way. It is even worse on desktop. The planner function is what I needed the most but it’s an an afterthought at best. The details can only be added after creating the task. Why not make it so you can click add task and do everything right away? It asks you to select which class it’s for which is nice but then you can’t even filter planner items by class which is important when you have a lot to do and are trying to make sure you have completed all the work for a class without logging into canvas and scrolling through screens and modules (the entire point of having a planner). You have to manually sort into overdue, upcoming, and done which is supremely annoying. Considering I put in the due date it should be able to auto sort. Also everytime I move an item on mobile the app crashes. Why can you only look at the board view of the planner on mobile anyway? I also hate how you can only access the planner through the create or plus icon. It should be put in a location like a home tab or dashboard but instead the home tab is pointless quests. If you want people to use this app for the utility then make that the priority. Planners, notes, pinned posts and comments, and announcements. But there is no central location for these things which all occupy separate tabs. Good thing I can easily view my quest progress with one click, right? The course feedback section does not work across devices and my planner crashes on mobile from simple tasks. This app is another case of form over function ### 1/5 — major scam *2023-10-24, version 3.137.4* I requested a gift card reception over a month ago and never received it. No one else I know has received a gift card they requested either. Also, customer service is horrendously slow. ### 1/5 — Functionality *2023-08-23, version 3.136.2* Nothing seems to work in this app. ### 1/5 — Super buggy app *2021-10-23, version 3.101.3* It doesn’t show my flashcards, notes, and etc. I’ve been doing their “ challenges” which I’m starting to think are fake and never seem to win. ### 1/5 — The app isn’t updating my achievements for this week *2021-10-06, version 3.101.3* It gives me weekly study goals of being thanked, uploading notes, etc. none of them are showing up even though I’ve been working on them ### 1/5 — Not logging in *2021-10-05, version 3.101.3* Every time I attempt to get into this app it kicks me out to the App Store with the CircleIn app icon and nothing happens. I cannot get into this app ### 1/5 — Won’t load classes *2021-05-09, version 3.91.5* After several chats with support, I’m on my second semester and my classes have never loaded. Support keeps coming back with the university hasn’t sent them my information? Why is this problem still happening? ### 1/5 — Classes aren’t showing up *2021-02-28, version 3.90.2* This app was a life saver last semester, but recently it won’t load any of my classes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing when you take the time to learn to use it *2025-10-14* This app is like 8 apps in one. The AI Tutor has helped me learn better than anything else I’ve tried. With subtle hints and tips it encourages me to practice solving problems on my own and I can snap a photo of my handwritten math and it will find every mistake and help me correct it. It’s a game changer. I use it every day! It’s surprising that you can win gift cards too. It really does pay, but getting better grades is the best payoff. ### 5/5 — Fantastic studying app *2025-08-22* I am a junior and this I one of the best studying apps. I am really just completely happy with everything it does. It does so much more than other apps I’ve tried out there’s so many different functions within a singular app. It can do everything from make flashcards, to talk to your classmates, to making reminders and planners for yourself. It’s Quizlet GroupMe, and reminders rolled into one. Plus they really do give you motivation to study and the gift cards are actually redeemed within a few days. I did have trouble with uploading flashcards initially, but the support team was incredibly fast and helpful, and replied in only a day. I’ve only had this app for a short time and I’ve already used it so much. I really think it will help me study better and stay on track this semester and I really look forward to it. I really appreciate that my university adopted the app and I hope that other universities do the same. ### 5/5 — great for school *2025-06-03* I’ve been using circlein for months now since last Fall when i started college. it’s genuinely been very helpful and rewarding as well. i’ve used it for studying and finding great suggestions for professors from other students. I’ve been graciously been rewarded with $775 dollars from the reward system circlein has provided for students. It rewards your hard work for studying but also encourages to participate with its contest they provided. 100% recommend. ### 5/5 — CircleIn for Students *2025-06-03, version 3.149.1* Great app!! Very motivating and engaging! ### 5/5 — First year w/ CircleIn *2025-06-02, version 3.149.1* This app is super useful even for if you just wanna network with people within your classes, I met a lot of people I really wouldn’t have due to their common likes etc groupchats they create. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-06-02, version 3.149.1* Great app, I’ve won over $400 through CircleIn which has helped with paying for college! A great tool to study :) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-06-02, version 3.149.1* CircleIn has made it easy to get in contact with other students in my classes as well as be able to ask anonymous questions to the class with confidence. It’s both a great study tool and a great way to treat yourself for the hard work! ### 5/5 — Absolutely Love the Circle In App! *2025-06-02* Circle In has completely transformed the way our team stays connected and supported, especially in a remote or hybrid work environment. It’s more than just a communication tool—it’s a true culture-building platform. I love how easy it is to recognize teammates, share resources, and stay updated with what’s happening across the organization. The user interface is super clean and intuitive, and I really appreciate how it promotes both productivity and wellbeing. From celebrating work milestones to sharing parenting tips and mental health resources, Circle In has made our workplace feel more human and connected. Highly recommend this app for any company looking to improve employee engagement and foster a stronger sense of community. Game changer! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-02, version 3.149.1* I love circlein so much!! Best platform for students ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-02, version 3.149.1* CircleIn is a smart productivity and collaboration tool designed with students in mind, and overall, it delivers on its promises. The app provides a centralized platform where students can share notes, create to-do lists, quiz each other, and stay organized while earning points for their engagement. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
