I’ve been having bugs where I can’t save new info into my profile. When I’m unable to save new info, the app would notify me that there is an error. I’ve already read a review that was written 2 years ago about the same bug, so I’m disappointed. The developer also responded to that reviewer saying improvements would be made, but the same error is still happening 2 years later. It’s as if the developer has run away from working on and improving this app. If the quality was improved, the app would definitely be better. Hope this app improves because schools are still recommending students to use this app.

The idea is great but there are major usage issues. I can’t save any actual information on my profile. It just says error and I have to start all over again. I thought it was maybe my wifi but when I turned wifi off it did the same thing. Also, in a lot of the categories they have, they don’t have all of the choices that should be there. Like in the AP category, they were missing AP Language and AP U.S. History and several others that I haven’t taken. I just don’t think the category should be there unless all the items in that category are there. They didn’t even list my major in one category which is BUSINESS/FINANCE. That’s a very common major and should not have been left out. The idea is there and if it worked well it would be a great app but it just isn’t very functional.

My major is not listed and some information on certain colleges is inaccurate. I know for a fact that certain colleges offer a degree in the field I’m interested in and the field itself is not listed under those colleges.
This is a great app in its setup and intended use. However it has no purpose for me, as my major isn’t listed. I would have though premed would be commonly found.
Love this app and its been only 3 hours since downloading! Only thing I'm having trouble with is how I message the colleges I'm interested in…. Other than that, it's a must have
This app has improved a lot. The new search feature is amazing and makes everything so much easier. If your going to college you need this app!!!
Just tried the new search on college preferences screen. Very interested in large schools. Ordered results by college size. Has half a dozen other ways to order your results. Impressive update!
I thought I'd download this app because it seemed useful but the information for certain colleges is just wrong. It's easy to navigate but without the correct information it's useless.
Whenever I try to add something to my profile it just says "error". I spent a lot of time filling everything out and now they're all gone and I am very frustrated.
Did not have either of the majors I was looking for and a few glitches
I have two kids planning on going to college and it's hard getting info on the web. This application is more structured and has the correct links to get direct access to the schools web page.
Good resource for anyone thinking about college. Cool to receive messages from schools I'm interested in. Useful app.
Fantastic app with endless information. I can easily search any college and find quick facts verses having to spend hours on google doing research. The only complaint I have is small details within the app itself, for example, the search bar is touchy and requires the exact name of the school verses a key word or term. But the fact that my only complaint is as small as that proves how helpful and effective this app is.

Although there are a lot of schools listed, information is incomplete in many cases and the app lacks consistency in fields and info from one school to another. Fields often link to college web sites rather than having the pertinent info in the app itself. Also would have liked to see freshman class enrollment, demographics and admission deadlines but that is not included and requires searching the college site.

I've hear lots of great stuff but I wouldn't know, because it won't let me select stuff. When I select my religion or majors, wether I hit the check mark or the "Done" button, it tells me "a compete profile connects you to more colleges." And erases ALL of my previously entered information. I've tried this at least 5 times.

The app will not allow me to create my account when I am putting in information about who I am and what I am looking for.
This app seems awesome but it couldn't properly set up my profile so I deleted it :/
I wish this app was around three years ago but my youngest used it this year to search for colleges and build a list of schools that best fit her needs. The app is by far the easiest and fastest search tool out there.
I've been using this app for a while now. I have to say it's super easy to use not only for me but my parents. I wish my parents account can connect with mine that way they see the schools I have favorite, however I can always show them not a big deal. Best part about the app I can use it anywhere. I would highly recommend for students looking for colleges. Great information all on your cell phone !!

As a really lazy person who isn't very good at talking/dealing with the college process, this app actually really kept me updated with their messaging with the schools I want to apply too.
