Many of the deal are very limiting and have specific requirements that don’t apply to me or one of my other classmates. So most of the things we need discounts on (being a full time student!) we have not been able to get discounts for. Still hoping to find something that is less limiting. ### 2/5 — georgia will be a nuclear power before I use this *2026-08-11, version 8.19.0* I forgot i had it ibsr ### 4/5 — New email addresses *2026-08-03, version 8.19.0* It is good don’t get me wrong but I did have issues with verifying my school email address as they decided to change it mid year and then the app couldn’t verify with my new email so I had to use my school id card ### 5/5 — New to Student beans *2026-05-20, version 8.13.0* I love that I received savings upon first sign up, students need every dollar they can save. ### 4/5 — Better than UNiDAYS *2026-04-30, version 8.12.0* Easier to use ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-04-04, version 8.10.0* Love it ### 5/5 — Got a Great Discount at Swarovski *2026-03-24, version 8.9.0* Thanks for this app, it really works! I got a 15% discount on Swarovski earrings. Thanks a lot!! ### 1/5 — Impossible de se connecter ! *2026-03-19* Je l’ai utilisé une fois, très bien. Mais quand je veux me connecter de nouveau (je n’avait pas l’application, que le site web, et le c’est en essayant avec l’application), ça ne fonctionne pas ! Ils me redemandent sans cesse mes coordonnées de connexion, ça mouline dans le vide et je ne peux pas me connecter ! Et quand j’essaye de recréer un compte, ça garde en tête mon adresse mail et je ne peux plus l’utiliser ! Bref, c’est très mal gérer alors que le principe de l’appli/site est extraordinaire. Dommage. **Developer response:** We are sorry you’ve experienced issues whilst trying to use our service.

As a student veteran I am very pleased. Thanks a ton SB! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Idk if I got hacked or not… *2026-09-04, version 8.21.0* I clicked a link to a discount for FujiFilm and it sent me to a website and I got a lot of pop-ups saying I was hacked and needed to buy a VPN. I never ended up on the FujiFilm website! I’m really hoping this app didn’t hack my phone because that would be disappointing and devastating. ### 1/5 — M&S discounts *2026-08-28, version 8.20.0* M and S doesn’t have any discount code here where as it directs us here ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign up due to error *2026-08-27, version 8.20.0* Keeps saying enter a valid birthday. The birthday is valid. Fix your app. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-06-23, version 8.16.0* I tried to log in and I can’t do it ### 1/5 — Account locked: Try again in a few minutes *2026-06-20* Dauerhaft die gleiche Fehlermeldung. Dann halt nicht. So ist die App leider komplett unbrauchbar und wird gelöscht. **Developer response:** We are sorry you’ve experienced issues whilst trying to use our service.

All the ‘online’ discounts don’t actually work nor are they ever applied at the basket! I have never been able to use any discounts on this app and others like it! ### 1/5 — Deals expired or not working *2026-05-03, version 8.12.0* I’ve tried a number of deals or offers, none have worked. At least 1 clearly expired over 6 months ago. ### 1/5 — Eh *2026-04-27, version 8.12.0* Most of the offers I see for the stores I want are not exclusive to SB but are already on the website of that clothing company. If that’s the case there really isn’t a use for me to have this app and I never get codes from this app. At least with UNiDAYS I get extra codes ### 1/5 — codes *2026-03-30, version 8.10.0* doesnt provide codes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-31, version 8.20.0* Great discounts from thousands of brands. ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2026-08-22, version 8.20.0* Well worth it! ### 5/5 — Incroyable *2026-08-08* L’application elle est géniale 😭❤️ pour tout les étudiants pauvres cette appli là est tout simplement banger! **Developer response:** Thanks very much for your lovely feedback and we are very glad to see you are enjoying using Student Beans :) ### 5/5 — Idk *2026-07-29, version 8.18.0* Very good ### 5/5 — Love It! *2026-07-10, version 8.17.0* Soooooo many deals! ### 5/5 — Una genialidad *2026-06-18, version 8.15.0* Gracias por estos descuentos tan increíbles !
