Disorganised

So much information is on the app and is so confusingly disorganised. Weighed down with too many personal chats to everyone without any opportunity to restrict to small groups or apparent way to just reply to a single person. If you try to restrict topics by selecting only a few to view, the setting is ridiculously cancelled when you quit the app and on restarting you get everything again. Took them many many times to correct an error.

The new update killed the app.

I can’t even open the app without it crashing. If I tapped fast enough on a different tab, it would stay open only to crash again when I tapped on my chats.

Response from developer

I'm sorry you had a poor experience. We’re a startup with a small team; so bugs are inevitable but we do work hard to fix them! We actually released a new version to fix the crashes (the day after the problematic one was released), so if you update now you should be all set! If not, please reach out via ask@raftr.com so we can help. Thank you! ~Team Raftr

Very helpful

Easy to navigate through group chats and very clear notifications. Highly recommend it.

App crashes

App immediately crashes when you click to read the privacy policy

Broken and buggy

Tried to create an account. Just keeps saying “oops there was an error”. My error was believing that this app was anything more than more startup trash.

Response from developer

We are very sorry for the poor experience, and we have now fixed the problem (the error message you saw appears when there is little to no internet connection, so we are clarified the message).

Free food

So much free food. Helps now that I'm off campus and can still keep up with whats going on

Not my favorite

The notification system is horrible. I’m really not a fan but our university forces RA’s to use this app.

Response from developer

UPDATE: We now have notifications customizable in the app, via the gear icon at the top of the Notifications list. Hello, I'm so sorry to hear about your frustration related to notifications. We will be reintroducing a settings feature to the app soon! In the meantime, I'd be happy to help you configure your settings. If you'd like help, please email us at ask@raftr.com. Thank you!

Fast Response

There’s still a lot to improve, but they respond quickly. Like when I had trouble managing my notifications, they take the time to help me.

Response from developer

UPDATE: Thanks for the updated review as we worked with you before reintroducing the feature in the app!

We will be reintroducing that feature to the app (iOS, web, and Android) soon! In the meantime, I'd be happy to help you configure your settings. If you'd like help, please email us at ask@raftr.com.

Saving me time and energy!

I am SO tired of all the different apps I have to use to keep track of things. Calendars, GroupMe, Facebook Groups, etc. I can't wait for more people on my campus to start using Raftr so everything will be in one place.

Amazing App!!

I’m such a huge fan of Raftr!! It is so hard to figure out what is going on on campus and this app consolidates everything in a readable, easy to use format. It’s super great for promoting your club events too! 5/5 stars (:

Helpful Calendar

Was kind of worried about downloading this after my friend told me about it, but I’m really glad I did! I thought it was just going to be another social media account I would have to stress about, but the events calendar is actually super helpful and has helped me be less stressed. I really like that you can comment and connect with classmates without there being competition to post a perfect picture or get a bunch of likes.

Great for students

Good features, with a few extra things like location listings and being able to add to my Google calendar, it would be great. Still, very useful as it is and I find myself checking the calendar every day.

It’s all here

Super fast account creation, easy navigation, and I swear every event on my campus is here. Like every single one. Love Raftr!

So convenient

One advantage of this app is that’s it’s so versatile. I can connect with other students on my campus, find free food spots, and stay updated on campus events and happenings. Great app to feel more connected to your institution and meet new people!

Must Download for Tufts Students!

This app is great for keeping up with events on campus (especially good for finding free food and guest speakers)! Easiest 5-star review of all time

Very Robust Platform!

Raftr offers a lot of different ways to stay connected on campus, and the more time I’ve spent using the app, the more cool features I’ve found! Seems like there were some early stability issues but with recent updates, the experience has really improved. Excited to keep using Raftr and hopefully they’ll bring more students on to make the experience even more useful and fun.

THIS IS THE BEST!

I love this app, It is ahead of its time! There are so many possibilities/venues all in one place. I can view, comment, chat about and build my own raft, plus stay current with today’s news and lifestyle trends. Best app ever!

Awesome app

Been trying this out for a few months now and am really liking it. There's no other app out there where I can check current events, stay up on politics and still look at cute animals. My favorite part is being able to talk to other sports fans about my favorite teams and reading latest updates and stories. Totally check this app out! 👍

Refreshing

I’m loving this app and concept. It’s super easy to navigate. I find it to be a good way for people to follow conversations/news about topics they’re interested in, without clutter or ads!
