I couldn’t register ### 5/5 — Simple. Efficient. Easy to Use !!!!! *2020-10-06* I love how user friendly the process is from start to finish. All the way from setting up my account to accessing my school and class subject. It usually takes me time to adjust to new apps but this one was seamless. I also enjoyed the feature where I’m able to send and receive attachments and send messages back and forth. Loved it ! ### 5/5 — Where has this app been all my life?! *2020-09-26* I’m a new student transferring to a four year college and was worried about making connections/study buddies in my classes because of the crazy changes during COVID. All my lectures have been on Zoom and have felt extremely detached. Getting this app and being able to add my school and my specific classes to talk to my peers have just been game changing. I can ask questions, send attachments and get feedback quickly with an app that feels like a very user friendly messaging one. If you’re in the same boat or just wanna grow your school network, you HAVE to give it a try. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-09-26* This is app enhanced my academic experience. I struggle with social anxiety and approaching people in my classes, so this app is a life saver for me. I think this app is a great idea because it promotes for a better learning environment in school for people like myself ### 5/5 — Great way to connect with peers! *2020-09-25* It can be so stressful finding study buddies in a college class full of strangers, especially if you’re an introvert like me. Thankfully this app makes it such a breeze to connect with my classmates. The app itself is well designed and easy to navigate. I just wish I had this earlier in my college career! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-09-25* This app is everything I asked for. It’s straight forward and easy to use. With all the classes readily available to see by each viewer, it’s very convenient to find out who may be taking the same classes as you. It also doesn’t limit you to one class. I definitely would recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great app for finding other college classmates *2020-09-24* I’d recommend this app for anyone who wants to meet more people in their classes and major. I recently started college and I didn’t know anyone. I used this app to meet people in my major and make connections with them. Now I even have a dedicated study group from people I’ve met on here which is really nice because it’s really hard to meet people with COVID going on. You can search for both people in your school and people who are in your classes. The design is really intuitive and clean, you can even message people from within the app. ### 5/5 — Great way to make connections! *2020-09-24* Absolutely love the app so far. I’ve used it once already and was able to find someone for my chem class. I just transferred to my school so it made it so much easier to connect with others ESPECIALLY since covid. Through this app, I’ve made connections with classmates and found a study group (all on zoom of course). Highly recommend this app if you’re transferring/starting a new semester. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2020-09-24* This app is a great addition to anyone who needs extra help in college. Being able to find someone in the same course and come together through this app diminishes my struggle of approaching someone during or after class. This makes it so much easier and allows me to ask questions in real time. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Really useful *2020-09-24* Practical tool and overall a great app ## Frequently asked questions about StudyBuddy ### What is StudyBuddy?
