User reviews

Good app but missing interests

I like the app but I couldn’t add Battlestar Galactica as my interests since it wasn’t available

Response from developer

Hi Friends, I can add Battlestar to our list of potential interests to add! Were you thinking of the original version from the late 1970's or the reboot from the early 2000's? Note that inside Nearpeer there is a link you can click to send any other suggestions directly to us. We are always adding new ones! Thanks, Maddie, Nearpeer Support

Horrible interface

Won’t let me sign into it after resetting password

Response from developer

Hi Awesomecello, I'm sorry you are having trouble. If you email me at helpdesk@nearpeer.net I can assist you and make sure you have full access again! Maddie, Nearpeer Support

Met all my friends at CSUN on Nearpeer

This app is fantastic - my school, Cal State Northridge, has Nearpeer for all the new students. It’s really cool how I can see and connect with other people who share my interests and hobbies. If your school has it, definitely use it, it is awesome.

Awesome but needs work

The concept is great to meet friends on campus, but it’s not user friendly. I wish it was like instagram where it had a separate icon specifically for messages

Missing Majors

It is helpful, but I find that it doesn’t allow for all majors. My college has a theater major, but Nearpeer says that it isn’t a major. I know that Nearpeer doesn’t see theater as an academic subject, but if a student is using it for their specific college, they should list the college’s majors.
