What if some people aren’t interested in those? Also there isn’t even an option to search up what you want to study in. I feel like for an app like this you need to have way much more options. **Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion here! We actually only show the search functionality to users depending on how far they say they are in the college/career search earlier during onboarding. We see how this can be confusing and are looking into adjusting this. We'd love to hear more feedback from you directly if you're open to reaching out to hello@getloper.com. Thanks! ### 2/5 — not giving me what im looking for *2026-06-18, version 3.10.0* good concept, but i specifically put in the app that I only want to look for schools in new york and all it does is recommend me schools that are not from new york. not very helpful at all ### 3/5 — Honest Opinion *2026-06-15* OK, I’m gonna be completely honest here. The app is pretty good itself. I just don’t really find it as useful as I thought it would be. I mean it helps to a certain extent, and I personally feel that the app should have more resources and I don’t know I guess the app is good. It’s just I was expecting more from it like it doesn’t really help me that much if that makes any sense. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this! We've just rolled out an update to introduce more quiz/game content, and alongside that we're building further resources you can view in the app. We'd love to hear what resources you'd find helpful! You can reach us at hello@getloper.com ### 3/5 — Doesn’t even have my major *2026-05-08, version 3.9.0* How can it help me find a college when it doesn’t even have multiple majors ### 2/5 — Update issue *2026-01-20, version 3.7.3* I filled out the question then it sent me to a page asking me to update the app, I had just installed the app so I was confused and when I went to check if it need to be updated it didn’t. Now I’m just stuck on the same screen and k can get off of it. ### 2/5 — Potential *2025-12-17* I saw this app on tik tok was was interested so I download it. I was pretty disappointed once I completed the questionnaire. This app is hard to navigate, doesn’t have many career choices, and is constantly glitching. I couldn’t find my high school or the major I wanted to enter. I tried to do the “tasks” but whenever I wrote something nothing popped up. Overall, this app has a lot of potential but also very many problems. **Developer response:** Hi, so sorry for the negative experience here. We had a few recent releases that should fix some of the bugs and task issues. If you're open to it, the team would love to hear your feedback live, specifically on navigation, career choices, and the major you couldn't find. You can reach out to us on email at hello@getloper.com, and thanks for giving Loper a try ### 2/5 — Give me some Recs already! *2025-10-02, version 3.7.1* I keep answering more and more and more preferences about size and majors and everything else, and the app has made TWO college recs. Waste of time. ### 2/5 — Not helpful *2025-09-30, version 3.7.1* This app really doesn’t do what it is advertised to do. Very glitchy, doesn’t actually organize in a way that is useful (at least to me). ### 4/5 — Additional thing *2025-08-29* I think for some of the jobs the certifications part should include the years that it takes to get them such as being a doctor **Developer response:** Very helpful! We will look at adding this! ### 4/5 — Great App, Needs Some Changes *2025-08-12* Honest Review: Pretty great app overall! It asked me questions, not only about academics but also preference, jobs, internships, housing, travel, and so much more. There’s also a feature where you can take quizzes and also answer questions. With that data— Loper recommends colleges that suit you. But heres where the issue comes in. Eventually it stopped loading, so I closed the app expecting to continue my search, but instead it just kept repeating the same questions I’ve already answered. Another big issue is that whenever I search up some colleges— they just don’t pop up. Lastly, when I click “share profile” and “Generate PDF” it transfers you to where you first started when you downloaded the app. As you wait it gives you “fun facts”… and then it just stops. No PDF was ever generated. Please fix these 3 things! **Developer response:** I'm so sorry about this! Thank you very much for taking the time to offer this feedback: 1. You probably reached the end of our questions. We are adding more soon - sorry about that! We released an update that makes it more clear when you have already seen questions, and you can now go back and search through previous interests. 2. We are working on improving search functionality. For now, it functions much better when searching the formal colleges name. 3. We have fixed the PDF issue - sorry about that! Thanks so much for giving Loper a try, and if you're opening to offering the team feedback live, please reach out to hello@getloper.com :) ### 4/5 — AMAZING APP *2025-08-08, version 3.6.0* Great for college search and help with applying! Although one thing that does bother me is when I go back on the explore page it doesn’t show me any new options just the ones I liked or answered ### 2/5 — Wrong Math Answers *2025-08-04, version 3.5.5* When you go to answer questions in the Explore/Challenges, multiple of the math questions are wrong. Ex. App told me that “Dividing 7 by 5 is 1.4 , and subtracting 2 gives 3.4” ### 5/5 — Most things will not load. *2025-05-15* This app seemed to be great, but I cannot click on the specific colleges to look for the details or take personality quizzes because it will not load. it also won’t let me search for specific things and says that there is nothing available even though there is. I will definitely use this app if these bugs get fixed but for now I won’t. **Developer response:** Hi there — thanks for sharing this, and we’re really sorry you ran into these bugs. Not being able to load schools or take quizzes definitely shouldn’t be happening, and we know how frustrating that is. Our team is actively looking into these issues, and your feedback helps us track down what’s going wrong. If you're open to it, we’d love to learn more and fix things faster — feel free to email us at hello@getloper.com. We really appreciate you giving Loper a try, and we will get things running smoothly for you ASAP. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didn’t have the major I want to study :/ *2026-07-19, version 3.11.0* I usually wouldn’t rate this harsh, but when it’s your one job as an app. Also didn’t even give me any good recommendations. I’ll stick to Appily. The high reviews really got my hopes up.. ### 1/5 — No helpful *2026-03-25* I’m a junior in high school and I couldn’t input my ACTUAL gpa because it wouldn’t let me put a “.” I had to scroll through something called “discover” instead of it just giving me a list of good options. I never got the option to put IN the sport I played and it’s not a common sport so it’s unlikely to have schools that have it (women’s wrestling) so it was giving me football and cheerleading schools..bro 😐. Not what I thought it was. Was looking for a helpful way to pick a college but this don’t help at all. Save your time DONT download on phone or at all. **Developer response:** So sorry about this! We've fixed the decimal point. We'd be happy to help you find schools with women's wrestling for you if you want to reach out to hello@getloper.com ### 1/5 — this app is acc so stupod *2026-01-29, version 3.8.1* wont let me make an account, keeps going in circles, same questions over and over. says i have an account.. ok? let me login, oh sorry! cant do that either. ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-01-08, version 3.7.3* I can’t log back in ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-12-21, version 3.7.3* Can’t even sign in to the app ### 1/5 — Glitch *2025-07-31, version 3.5.5* The app isn’t sending the verification code to my number which I’m 100% certain is the correct number ### 1/5 — Dis functional *2025-05-25, version 3.5.5* The app asks what year I will graduate high school, but the on-screen keyboard to enter the year doesn’t work. You can’t enter any numbers. So I can’t move past that part of the app. It’s programmed wrong. The numbers are not clickable and you just can’t get around it. Annoying ### 1/5 — when can i actually review colleges? *2025-04-08* so the update is cool but is also laggy and making over stuff laggy but more importantly i’ve been watching videos (not by choice) of colleges that i don’t even want to know about instead of swiping on them or being able to get to it…it shouldn’t take me THAT long to get to swiping and to actually see good college options **Developer response:** Hi there — thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the delay in responding! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. The issue you mentioned was affecting a small number of users after our major release in early April, but the good news is that it should now be resolved. If you haven’t already, we’d love for you to update the app and give it another try — the swiping experience should feel much smoother now, and content should be more relevant to your interests. If you're still running into any issues, feel free to reach out to us at hello@getloper.com — we’d love to help make things right. Thanks again for using Loper. We’re always working to make the app better and your input really helps. ### 1/5 — i mean it’s free and that shows *2024-04-23, version 3.2.0* it’s missing SO much from things that naviance has, such as distance away. like you get to have fun swiping left and right, but at what cost?? ### 1/5 — Horrible horrible HORRIBLE *2023-08-26, version 3.0.1* If you want every school within 100 miles of you to spam you daily with emails, then by all means use this app. I get spammed non stop by random colleges and I even now receive junk mail! It’s such a scam and it’s just a way to generate revenue by secretly giving schools all your info. Don’t download!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accessibility *2026-07-13* As an upcoming high school junior, I’m dreading the college search. I dread all the repetitive research even more. That’s why this app feels like a life saver. I haven’t been asked to pay any fees at all. I don’t think that’s happened to me ever. Not to mention it listens to all of the information I give. For example, I said I only wanted a college in a specific state and only got recommendations for that state where most apps try to give you recommendations for states on the other side of the country. This is the most useful app I’ve ever downloaded. I highly recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind review and using Loper! We'd love to hear more feedback from you if you're open to connecting with our team at hello@getloper.com ### 5/5 — A Fun Way to Explore! *2026-03-15* This app makes it easy to find collages that fit best for you! Answer a couple quick questions about your interests and costs , and you have yourself a wide selection of colleges for YOU! ### 5/5 — Great App No Downsides *2026-01-27, version 3.8.1* Overall great app, maybe a few tweaks here and there but it’s the best collage finder app out there ### 5/5 — One stop college info center! *2025-11-24, version 3.7.3* Handy app to save schools and research in one spot w links to websites and social media. Love it! ### 5/5 — Feels productive *2025-09-05, version 3.6.0* It’s lowkey the most enjoyable way to find a college. It’s basically shein for colleges. ### 5/5 — Loper *2025-08-18, version 3.6.0* Loper has helped me find amazing colleges without a fee and actively sends me new colleges to view everyday! ### 5/5 — Best App Ever *2025-05-29* I've come to realize how cluttered the internet is when it comes to finding info about college but this app just makes finding all the information easier. I really appreciate this app because it is like my own college counselor and can be super helpful to kids who do not access to a college counselor. I love the fact that everything in this app is absolutely FREE. Tools are super helpful and helped me actually find my dream school. ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2025-05-23* Loper has been really helpful for keeping me organized. It’s easy to use, looks great, and makes planning things a lot less stressful. I like how everything is laid out and how smooth it feels. Definitely one of the better apps I’ve tried! ### 5/5 — Best college app! *2025-05-21* Loper has been super helpful in making the college process feel way less overwhelming. It’s helped me stay organized while building my college list and figuring out what I need to apply. As a student, it’s nice to have one place that breaks things down clearly, especially when there aren’t a ton of resources out there for this stuff. ### 5/5 — The best college search app *2025-05-15, version 3.5.5* I love Loper as a college counselor. It’s super user-friendly and my students enjoy using it. It really meets them where they are! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
