We have passed this on to the team to get it fixed as soon as possible! ツ ### 3/5 — Not very user friendly *2025-04-07, version 10.9* Not a very intuitive site when searching for specific courses ### 3/5 — Wont except my number *2022-05-21* Simple easy to use and navigate however unable to create an account because the app won’t except my mobile number. Which is a shame because this app is a life saver when compared to the manual way of looking through dozens of universities websites to find they don’t do the course you want **Developer response:** Hey Bla_sea, could you use Submit Feedback in the app and share the problems you're experience when adding your mobile number? Thanks for using the app, you're awesome! ツ ### 2/5 — Where are my prospectuses?? *2021-09-29, version 7.4* I ordered prospectuses about a month or 2 ago and they still haven’t come?? The app is okay, doesn’t really have all the unis I was looking for though :( ### 2/5 — Mediocre *2021-08-01, version 7.2* Was a decent app but they send me spam emails constantly, even after months of having the app deleted. ### 1/5 — 6 emails in 2 hours *2021-07-31, version 7.2* Received 6 emails over the course of 2 hours asking me to review the stupid app which I didn’t even like- I wouldn’t have left a review if I hadn’t received all of those emails so it’s now getting 1 star. ### 2/5 — meh *2021-07-31, version 7.2* not as good as i thought it would be ### 1/5 — Spam *2021-07-31, version 7.2* They spam you with emails and there’s no way to stop them ### 4/5 — Good app to use *2021-07-31, version 7.2* Great ### 1/5 — Pesters you *2021-07-31, version 7.2* I thought the app was pretty poor, hard to use and generally didn’t have the answers I was looking for. Stopped using it and wouldn’t stop getting emails and notifications by the company, all together about 6 emails a day begging me to review the app. Not worth the download ### 4/5 — So useful! *2021-07-31, version 7.2* Great for info about courses at every university! I have been able to see places available in clearing which has been very helpful. ### 3/5 — Good but not great *2021-07-30, version 7.2* This app is very good but knowing what I want to study I found it easier to just make a spreadsheet using information on the ucas website as I feel I get more information ### 3/5 — Alright *2021-05-20, version 6.4* It's an alright app however it doesn't have some of the Drama Schools like Guildford School of Acting and LAMDA :/ ### 4/5 — Very good *2021-04-07, version 6.3* This app has helped me tremendously with looking at universities, I have still a couple years to go but I will continue to use this app to help me choose. ### 3/5 — Ok...but I have improvements *2021-03-06* 1) on the university profile there should be a map so you know where it is located roughly in the UK 2) there should be a section where you can put questions so people who have attended the university can answer 3) there should be a section where you can look at league tables 4) there should be different sections that people can vote on top university in a category, like “best for science” or “most beautiful location” 5) there should be a map of the UK with all the universities so you can click on a random one 6) there should be an A-Z of all the universities so you can find them easily 7) less questions at the start, the point of the app is to figure out stuff about the university that you probably didn’t know at start 8) have more advanced filters, so you can account for things like population of the area All these things would make the app 5 stars! **Developer response:** Hey IWTP, thank you for your feedback; these type of reviews only help us be better. Some of your points are already in the app, but we have passed these on to the team to see if they can make them easier to access. Thanks for using our app; you're fantastic! ツ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mobile number issue *2025-07-12* I just downloaded this app cause I’m really interested in researching schools as an American, but the app won’t even let me create an account because it says my mobile number is incorrect and when I click on the help icon to tell me what’s wrong with it, it just tells me it’s not valid. How am i supposed to fix it if your app doesn’t tell me how exactly it wants it formatted. I tried so many ways that you can format a phone number and none worked. It’s seriously annoying and frustrating like wth. **Developer response:** Hey Tay3983, thanks for reaching out. Our team will look into this immediately! As a short-term solution (although more painful) is to register via our website and login on the app! Rest assured the team is on it and we’ll look into better error notices and clearer validation! ツ ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2025-03-12, version 10.9* Downloaded to compare universities yet can’t because the account creation screen is broken. It will not accept my phone number. ### 1/5 — Uni course wasn’t listed *2024-04-08, version 10.1* Wanted to find info on uni courses but Imperial has no courses listed on this app ### 1/5 — Bristol uni *2024-03-13, version 10.0* Rubbish site could not get the information I required ### 1/5 — Not useful *2023-10-13* Would be better if they suggested unis with similar grades to the ones you’re expecting, because all the unis I get suggested are places I wouldn’t consider due to grades. ### 1/5 — Faulty *2022-08-20, version 8.3* Laggy app that won’t let me make an account, and when it loads it says the phone number is incorrect (it is not). ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-06-28, version 8.2* Honestly horrendous not a clue where to find unis I’m actually interested in or open days I actually want ### 1/5 — Nonstop Emails! *2021-08-01, version 7.2* I signed up for this and deleted the app within a day or two because it wasn’t that good. I have been met with constant, sometimes thrice a day, emails! All about leaving a ‘positive’ review for the app and with spelling mistakes. Extremely unprofessional as well as annoying. ### 1/5 — Does my head in!!! *2021-08-01, version 7.2* They kept spamming me with the same email telling me to review them on the app store, so I will! Absolutely does my head in, no option to unsubscribe nor can I change the email in my profile. There’s your review!!! ### 1/5 — Eh *2021-07-31, version 7.2* Stop sending me EMAILS Never would i thought i’d be getting 6 emails a say when I haven’t opened this app in ages ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-03-07* Very helpful to have all information on university and courses all in one place. Makes the whole process much easier. Would recommend to anyone looking for university courses. **Developer response:** Hey Genevievemaria, Thank you so much for your kind comments! ツ ### 5/5 — Does not list courses *2021-12-28, version 7.9* Only a handful of courses I know some universities have hundreds. What is the point of that? ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-04-17* Helped me find out a lot of undergraduate courses with ease and thank to the many options, it gives you the opportunity to attend virtual open days of many Unis. **Developer response:** Hey Mama, thanks so much for your kind review! Thanks for using our app, you're awesome! ツ ### 5/5 — UoL *2021-02-26, version 6.2.1* Hi! It appears you don’t have the University of Law in your selection. That’s my only issue. ### 5/5 — One of the best. *2021-02-25, version 6.2.1* Honestly, so helpful so great. Amazing for young students and makes it easier to compare and find samples of personal statements- saves a lot of research time! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-02-21, version 6.2.1* So much easier to look at unis all in one place ### 5/5 — This app was so helpful *2021-02-17, version 6.1* I was really struggling to compare universities but this app helped so much! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-10-16, version 4.7* This app is amazing and it has helped me so much with which unis to look at and it has motivated me a lot as well. I recommend very highly as it is very useful and helpful!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-08-21* It helped me navigate around UK Universities and sort out my clearing options specifically by course that also included the option to directly link to the Unis in interest. It also has a section with personal statements according to course that is very useful to give you a generic idea. Good and free app so no ties or obligations. Give it a try. **Developer response:** Hey Dennizaki, thanks for letting us know that we could help you with your university journey. We really appreciate your review! ツ ### 5/5 — Can’t fault it! *2020-04-29* I’ve been stressed about the idea of going to university for so long, but this app has really helped to put my options into perspective. All the necessary points to compare are there, which saves me trawling through each university’s website, and I really like that accommodation is a key section too. Reading student reviews is super helpful— I never really considered the surrounding area too important before. The layout is easy to work with, overall would highly recommend! **Developer response:** Hi Jolly, This is great to hear.
