BEWARE! The app Requires user to Turn On App Tracking to use the app. This allows College Raptor to track All of YOUR Activity. The minimal info the app provides is NOT worth the invasion of privacy! ### 4/5 — Good, but some data seems inaccurate *2018-12-28, version 1.3.7* I entered my EFC, which is around 47000 (I am in the 160k range). I know that for colleges like Princeton or other Ivy Leagues, they give great financial aid which would nearly cover all of my tuition. The app said I would have to pay close to my EFC for the college. ### 4/5 — Scholarship use is eh, but great app for college search *2018-05-04, version 1.3.6* I used this app really early in my college process, before I had any idea where I wanted to go. This app lets you look at different colleges through filters, and it’s really helpful. I’m actually going to a college that I found on this app. Good luck to everyone searching! And make sure to check out Vassar College! ### 2/5 — ugh *2018-01-06, version 1.3.4* said connection error after i signed up everything ### 3/5 — Won't show my stats *2017-09-21, version 1.3.3* I used the app in the first place to see what colleges were around me and how much scholarship money I could get in addition to my acceptance rate, but now it won't show me any of it. It's just blank, I'm not sure why. Maybe a glitch? I killed the app, didn't work. I deleted and reinstalled but that didn't work either. I'm feeling frustrated. ### 3/5 — Useful / not *2017-06-06, version 1.3.0* It's a good app if you just want to know how much the cost is, it can be better if they offered the actual scholarship, It got my hopes up thinking that the scholarships were offered. ### 4/5 — Good *2017-05-23, version 1.2.4* Pretty good app for high schoolers like myself ### 4/5 — Could have more *2017-05-14, version 1.2.4* Wish that you could see the scholarships available at those schools instead of just the money. I am a young student in high school and it helps me explore the colleges, but doesn't tell me what scholarships I could actually apply for... unless I'm missing something. Other than that decent app ### 4/5 — AWESOME *2017-04-26, version 1.2.4* It's a really good and informative app! My only criticism is that in the portion were it tries to calculate how much financial aid you receive, it only lets you pick either 1 parent currently working or 2 parents working, there is no 0 parent working option. ### 4/5 — Amazing *2017-04-17, version 1.2.4* App is very helpful for people looking for jobs ### 4/5 — Average app *2017-04-08, version 1.2.4* This app is not the best to determine lot's about your future college, but it's a good starting point for those that are very lost. ### 3/5 — Eh *2017-03-26, version 1.2.3* CRASHES every time you use the scrolly option. Like when entering the year you graduated, hit the year and hit select, it crashes and you lose what you were just typing in and sometimes I logs you out!!! Fix that please ### 3/5 — Already applied, wanted to see how accurate *2017-03-13, version 1.2.2* I already applied for college and received my scholarship money and got the app just to see how accurate it was. Solid 66%, it was dead on for 2 out of the 3 colleges, but $12,000 off for the 3rd. Overall decent ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is A FRAUD!!!! *2021-02-20, version 1.4.1* This app is not personalized. These are averages which tell a family NOTHING. STOP LYING. This app is a fraud and needs to be removed from Apples list for lying. FRAUD FRAUD FEAUD FRAUD. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for trying our app. The net price estimates are personalized estimates based on the student's unique academic criteria and financial circumstances. They are certainly not simple averages. ### 1/5 — Absolute Poop!!!!!!! *2018-01-14, version 1.3.4* Loading... Loading.....loading 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 S H I T App👈 ### 1/5 — Ruined my life *2017-10-23, version 1.3.3* I wanted to go to University of Minnesota and was concerned on whether or not I would get a scholarship. I needed $10,000 a year and I knew the calculator was estimations off of past information. It said I should get around $15,000 and I was hoping that even if it was off I could get $10,000. I got my hopes up and got $3,000. $12,000 off of an estimation is not okay. ### 1/5 — Simply incorrect *2017-07-23, version 1.3.3* I'm an average student at best and it estimated that I'd get nearly a full ride scholarship to Harvard. All around inaccurate. ### 1/5 — HELP *2017-07-07, version 1.3.1* I want to use the app too see my options at colleges. But I dont live in the US And when I put my information in I cant get pass 3 because where I live we dont have zip codes How can I use the app then??? ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2017-06-24, version 1.3.1* Literally would not even open. Crashed when I tried right after I downloaded it ### 1/5 — It's not that good *2017-05-27, version 1.3.0* The app itself seems very nice but unfortunately as a transfer student I wasn't able to use it to my advantage. There's no way I could be considered for scholarships based on the fact I work full time, and there's no option for if you're EFC won't be available because your family may have an EFC but they refuse to pay, and then finally there should be a Transfer option that doesn't use your SAT & ACT as well as your high school GPA. ### 1/5 — No Benefit *2017-04-23, version 1.2.4* The good reviews clearly came from the App designers. There really is no real value to the App. All of the information is readily available on Google. The App makes you provide a considerable amount of personal information that makes no sense based upon the information it provides. I would imagine that the purpose of the App is to get your personal information for other solicitation and sales purposes. ### 1/5 — There's no point for this. *2017-04-04, version 1.2.4* There's no point for this app. It doesn't show you potential scholarships it just shows you how much you could possibly get, how much the school costs, and your chances of getting into the college based off your test scores (which is complete crap) ### 1/5 — What is this supposed to do? *2017-03-05, version 1.2.2* Found it on Twitter, downloaded it, and tried to log in with Facebook. Been stuck here for an hour. Is it supposed to do something? Before you try and log in it does show you colleges nearby ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — B.B. *2017-10-30, version 1.3.3* Bhjkj ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2017-06-25, version 1.3.1* Not sure why the 1 star review. I can open and use the app with no problem. Easy to use and very helpful for looking for schools and scholarships! ### 5/5 — Good App *2017-05-21, version 1.2.4* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Really cool *2017-04-10, version 1.2.4* It's nice to see a lot of the information I want to see all in one location ### 5/5 — Fie *2017-03-19, version 1.2.3* Good ### 5/5 — Great App! *2017-03-12, version 1.2.2* This is so useful! ### 5/5 — This App Is So Great *2017-02-28, version 1.2.2* This app is unbelievable, it makes finding a college that you want to go to or that will accept you so much easier. I'm so glad a friend of mine told me about it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-02-13, version 1.2.2* This app is so great to see what options you have for college. It takes information and uses it to determine how much scholarship money you could possibly receive but also gives much more information. Already love the app and going to use it a lot. ### 5/5 — Good work *2016-12-18, version 1.1.0* Predicted the scholarship amount almost exactly for my top choice! Great work! ### 5/5 — One of a kind *2016-03-31, version 1.0.3* Very cool college search tool! I like how it starts with schools near me, but also suggests schools I wouldn't have known were such a great deal. It's like "Kayak" for college! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
