THE BEST APP

This is is truly wonderful! As a teenager in high school there is a build up of stress about many things having to do with college; how are you going to afford it, what is the best college for you, how do you prepare for your dream school, how should I narrow it down, and where am I going to find scholarships? This app truly helps with all of these things!! I have been able to find scholarships I never would have thought to look for or believe was possible. And I have truly been able to look into colleges that are a fit for me and match what I want out of school. We all want to get as much as possible out of college and this app truly helps do that. Try it and the best part is ITS FREE!!!!(I haven’t eeen any in app purchases not to say there are not but I truly believe this is genuinely an app that has your best interest)

AMAZING APP

As a senior, it’s been quite nerve wracking figuring out what life is going to bring. Encourage has helped to make this transition so much easier on not only me but also my family. I’ve been recommended hundreds of colleges and universities showing me that I have many options and much potential! Whether you’re a senior like me or you just want an early start or even a chance at a degree and other opportunities later in life, this app is 100% for you!!! God bless!! 🙏💕

DOWNLOAD

I would highly recommend using it. This is the only app/website I use for college-related stuff. It is very helpful and a great free resource!

Response from developer

We're thrilled you love Encourage and are using all its great resources. Thank you for your positive review!

good but slow to load

i really only use this app for the tasks so i don’t get overwhelmed with what i have to do to apply to colleges. it works extremely well in that regard. the rest of the app is fine but doesn’t really apply to me since i use notion to organize my college applications and scholarships. my only complaint is that it’s really slow to load for some reason. each time you click on something it takes at least 5 seconds to load the next screen, which doesn’t sound like a lot in retrospect but it adds up. that’s not a dealbreaker for me but it is a bit annoying.

Looks good but restricted to USA

Seems like a good app but I didn’t get to use it much because I’m strictly look for schools outside the USA. Do not get this app if you want options outside the USA, it is a waste of time.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, we do not have college options outside of the US, but we will note this request. Even if you're looking for colleges outside the US, you can still use Encourage as a guide through high school and for your career search.
