I can’t even sign up
Okay so first my school isn’t on here, I go to Brimley in Michigan so I just choose the Soo. Second, it doesn’t let me sign up, I’m trying to create a username and password and it just said “invalid username or password”
doesnt work
i tried to used the app and it will not let me fill in any of the required information.
Very limited
Only suggests extreme liberal colleges which is offensive and doesn’t match anything in profile. Schools of interest do not participate with Scoir. Not helpful, waste of time.
Not very helpful
This app seems good in theory, but it does not provide nearly enough information about each school. Besides giving you an idea of some schools that meet your very basic criteria, it’s not very helpful. It tells you virtually nothing about student life, which is one of the main things prospective students should be looking for. Maybe if it included any information about dorm quality, sports life, the campus climate/landscape, food, words from actual students there, or even more than just an image or two from the entire university it would be useful. But it doesn’t, so the user sees pretty much nothing to set one school apart from another besides the most basic things like location, price, and acceptance rate.
To make matters worse, the acceptance intelligence feature is also pretty impractical. When students should begin creating an idea of colleges they want to apply to, chances are they do not have their final SAT score and GPA yet, and because this information is not able to be altered by a student, and it doesn’t have a feature where you can enter your expected statistics, the prediction is not very accurate. Also, it requires your guidance counselor to edit it, which seems unnecessary, and provides an entire other problem if your guidance counselor takes awhile to update your stats.
So, not only is it very disheartening to see your year old stats projected in a “predictive chance” that is probably pretty inaccurate, but it may drive away students that might be interested in a college that they could actually get into from applying.
I think it’s also worth mentioning that the search feature is very persnickety, and it is difficult to search for a college without it saying “no matches found”.
Overall, I am not very fond of this app, and in 2025, looking for colleges should not be this difficult. However, there aren’t any other platforms that I have found that are any better, and the scatterplot feature is actually very helpful to look at. With some additions and changes, this could be a huge help, unfortunately I don’t believe that it’s there yet.

Asks you to review every 5 seconds
Would be a higher rating but every time you touch anything on the app it asks you to review, so im giving a low review out of spite
Couldn’t even make an account
This app is useless. I tried to make an account. It wouldn’t let me use any text boxes to answer simple questions like where I go to school and what state I live in. Probably a front to steal your information. DO NOT USE
HBCU
I find it a little weird that when I try to find schools under the HBCU option there are none, but when I look up certain names like Howard or Hampton they pop up. I am quite confused.
Love this app!
This app is amazing! I have had 29 children and all of them made amazing use of this app. All of them found it helpful and I can agree.
Please fix email confirmation bug
When I tried to confirm my secondary back-up email, it would take me to the login page whenever clicked the “Verify email address” button. After logging in, it did nothing, and I couldn’t verify my email address. Very frustrating.
App logs me out
App logs me out and won’t let me log back in with my google account so I have to delete the app and redownload when it does that
Very helpful
This app is easy to navigate and allows me to look up quick stats here and there! I use it multiple times throughout the day. It has proved very handy during the college admissions process.
Inaccurate info
Inaccurate information is a pretty bad thing when the whole point of the app is information
Great App!
Love the design and functionality. Very easy to use. Like the “College Compare” tool.
My 5 star rating
I actually really like this app for researching colleges. It states lots of important information about the colleges and says about transportation, application fees and many more.
Doesn’t work
As soon as I edited basic preferences, it said I have no matches. Tried to put it back to default settings and it still doesn’t work.
Not as good as website
Not every feature that I had on my lab top is transferring to the app and then it doesn’t let you go on the website it directs you right back to this bad app
App is good, but feature missing
App works well and is intuitive, but it is missing the feature of viewing the scattergram. This is a very important tool that I am unable to find within the app.
