So then I tried asking for help and it freezes and doesn’t let me submit. So much for trying to make friends before I start ### 1/5 — If you are not on Facebook, don’t bother *2020-05-14, version 4.36* The app uses your Facebook login. No other option... They didn’t think that some people out there, don’t have it. Me for example. ### 1/5 — I cannot even sign in *2020-04-23, version 4.36* This app is so beyond broken that I can’t even get past the log in. It wont let me choose what Facebook account I use to sign in, I can’t use the right email, and the help page is so broken you can’t tap submit to send a request for help on the app. ### 2/5 — Facebook only? *2020-04-18, version 4.36* I don’t have Facebook so I can’t even log in. ### 1/5 — CMU *2020-02-09, version 4.36* Doesnt have central michigan university ### 1/5 — School removal *2020-01-11, version 4.36* Used to love this app. Now my school (cmu) is removed. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2019-12-17, version 4.36* The app requires a Facebook account to join, many incoming students don’t have Facebook, I wish we could just use email or a phone number. It looks like a great app but I don’t want to make a Facebook account to use the app. ### 1/5 — You absolute philistines. *2019-12-07, version 4.36* This is the most absurd, idiotic, boomer-designed app I have ever encountered in my life. Hunter college requires that I use this piece of worthless filth to select my classes, and I can honestly say I’d rather get circumcised and then go to a nightclub and spend my entire night viciously grinding my wounded member on the fattest, sweatiest, most disgusting people I can find whilst wearing no undergarments. It’s truly spectacular what a dysfunctional piece of absolute trash this app is- I hope the developers read this and know that I am not exaggerating when I say that I have literally met 13 year olds who have created better functioning apps than this one. S t a y a w a y f r o m t h i s t r a s h ### 1/5 — Download issue. *2019-08-19, version 4.35* This app will only allow one to sign up via Facebook, I don’t want that to be the only option. If you don’t mind, it may be a good app. I don’t know. ### 1/5 — Could be ok *2019-08-13, version 4.35* This could be a great app if I could even log in. I did everything it asked them had to do it two time and was never able to log in. I even sent an email for help. ### 1/5 — Requires internet *2019-07-30, version 4.35* Even when I have internet it tells me to connect to internet because the app NEEDS internet ### 1/5 — It Doesn’t Work *2019-07-25, version 4.35* This app apparently has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, mine refuses to recognize that I’m connected to the internet, so I can’t say how much potential it actually has. ### 1/5 — Y’all should fix this 👀 *2019-06-18, version 4.35* Really dislike how i can only communicate or see people who are in my graduating class. My roommate and i are looking for another roommate but can’t see anyone who isn’t a sophomore like me... Doesn’t make sense. Also, the gender options on this app are incredibly annoying and offensive to anyone who has to go through feeling invalid by their gender, you make fun of it by listing ridiculous options like “unicorn” and “earthworm” . Sad... i wish my school cancelled whatever connection they have with this app. ### 1/5 — My account stopped working *2019-06-08, version 4.35* The app started glitching really bad so I tried deleting it and re downloading it but now it says my account is inactive. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2019-05-24, version 4.35* There’s no way to narrow your news feed, or unfollow someone. There’s a person in the app always spam posting annoying stuff and is mainly the reason why I rarely use it. PLEASE fix this. ### 1/5 — No internet connection *2019-05-22, version 4.35* That’s what it tells me. Oh! But what is this. I have full cell coverage, and I’m connected to Wifi, and I’m using those services to write this review. Must be owned by EA cause this is absolute garbage. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wont let me in *2021-04-20, version 4.36* Literally won’t let me login. I try to attach my facebook and it says “ User is not allowed to see the application.: The user is not allowed to see this application per the developer set configuration.”. Literally The most frustrating thing on this earth that there isn’t a settings button or way to troubleshoot through the app. ### 1/5 — horrible *2021-04-13, version 4.36* needs to be fixed. error message still shows every time i try to log in. right now, it’s basically a worthless app. ### 1/5 — Cant Log in *2021-04-12, version 4.36* Cant even use this app, get an error code when i try to sign in with facebook that says unable to view the app per developer set configuration. ### 1/5 — app doesn’t work *2021-04-09, version 4.36* They need to fix their app. It does not work with facebook login and i’m unable to use it. I guess i won’t be finding a roommate anytime soon. ### 1/5 — Broken app *2021-03-31, version 4.36* App requires Facebook to login but as soon as you try to log in it says “app is still in development please try again later” this has been going on for over a week now. ### 1/5 — “app not setup” *2021-03-31, version 4.36* suddenly it doesn’t wanna work anymore because it’s “still in development mode” and we “don’t have access to it”. been like this for quite a while now ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t bother *2021-03-26, version 4.36* This app only works for a couple of days then it’s going to say error when you try to login with Facebook which no one even uses anymore. ### 1/5 — Facebook says “add still under development”. *2021-03-25, version 4.36* Can use it because Facebook says it’s not usable yet. ### 1/5 — For those who are anti Facebook *2020-12-16, version 4.36* Not sure why with all the news on Facebook with its leaks and controversies why organizations insist on still utilizing them. There has to be a better way for students to be able to meet and participate without telling Facebook their personal business. I’m also not thrilled about having a system that connects nationwide and that you can be looked up. I’m sure some find this great but I find it too much of a security issue. I will just check the school site online to see about any happenings there thanks. ### 1/5 — glitch *2020-05-26, version 4.36* i literally hate when apps have buggs or glitches and you cant even BEGIN to use them. like this kept telling me to log in with facebook (first of all who even uses facebook anymore) and every time i clicked log in it kept reloading the log in page over and over again ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-02-12, version 4.36* Back in high school I met the girl I lost my virginity to on this app. Very good 👍 ### 5/5 — Refund too young *2020-04-21, version 4.36* Please refund Target X please this is only for students who go to colleges and Universities. My son is in Middle School ### 5/5 — met my best friends through this:’) *2020-01-21, version 4.36* i met a couple girls on here and now they’re my best friends :’) ### 5/5 — an amazing app for meeting people *2020-01-13, version 4.36* i downloaded this app because i wanted to meet people that were going to the same uni as me!! and i found an amazing community of people where we could all find eachother and i love how it links our social media profiles to it :) however, we do take groupchats to a different platform ### 5/5 — Schools app *2017-10-06, version 4.33* It won’t let me log into the schools app and I’m trying to connect with my school. Can someone please help me! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2015-08-08, version 4.13* Love this app for networking with other students. ### 4/5 — Different *2018-05-17* The app is pretty easy to use once you actually get signed in but the gender options include a few weird things such as “agenda”, “me me big boy”, “earthworm”, “toaster”, “Walmart”, and also “confused by all the options” But other than that, it’s a great app ### 4/5 — Will not work *2017-08-23* This app stopped work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it says it needs an internet connection. I am connected. I am writing this review. I love the app and I need it to work. Can someone help with this? ### 4/5 — Slow *2013-08-07, version 2.1* This is a great app to meet new people from your university, and get untouched with them!! But the only problem I have with it, is that it is so slow!!! It takes like 5 minutes to load a page. And I'm not exaggerating! You need to fix that! But other than that bug, it's a great app! ### 4/5 — No admin access *2012-02-14, version 1.1* Great app for any students that attend a school using the inigral facebook app! My suggestion is to add compatibility for administrators to be able to manage/moderate from within the app (there currently does not appear to be any way to access any admin privileges/controls inside this app). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
