Pretty Bad

Most scholarships on here aren’t verified, are scams, or are just fake. They make it very annoying to cancel a membership, which is already outrageously expensive for the service they provide.

DONT DOWNLOAD DONT TRUST FREE TRIAL BS

signed up for free trial, used it for ONE DAY before literally cancelling the free trial before it could end. Few days later, $60 BOMBOCLAT DOLLARS TAKEN FROM MY BANK BY THIS BS

Fine

App is fine, dated though. Also, gives scholarships you cannot qualify for at all in several recommendations. It says they tell you before the free trial ends, never did for me and got charged when I just wanted to free trial. Their “refund policy” says they don’t refund the first payment. So there goes that $50.

Scam

This app makes you make an account then, Asks you to pay after you are done setting up information. That is horrible.. Why not just say you have to pay first before?! It’s incredibly outrageous and you can’t even delete your own account. You have to send them an email which sucks even more so now your information is just there. Wasted my time and patience.. Do not try to get scholarships through here.

Rip-off

This organization is a rip off. You will not win any scholarships through them. Worst money I ever spent.

Student

I am new to the mobile app.

You have to pay.

These jerkoffs make you complete a sign up that takes 15 minutes just for you to have to pay to use their services.

Free Trial is charging me

When I go to finalize Apple Pay for the free trial it should say $0.

Response from developer

Thanks for the report, and sorry that screen gave you a scare. What you saw is how Apple's payment sheet works: it displays the full plan price even when you are signing up for a free trial. Completing that step would have started your free trial at $0, exactly as shown on our screen just before it. No payment is taken when the trial starts. We understand why the mismatch looked alarming, and we are looking at ways to make it clearer. If you would like to give the trial a go, everything is ready for you, and we are at support@scholarshipowl.com if you have any questions.

Good but nothing like the website

I like the app because it offers more options than the website. I’ve been able to apply to more scholarships because of this. BUT! On the app it does not say how many words an essay will need for an application. I got rejected from a $5,000 scholarship because I didn’t know I needed 1000 words. Whole I’m not angry, I’m upset I was rejected for this opportunity because of one flaw the app has. I have no idea how many scholarships I will get rejected from because of this. Please fix this issue! I love scholarship owl and it’s opportunities, but this issue upset me :(
