AurariaGO is the app for students on the Auraria campus in Denver: CU Denver, MSU Denver and the Community College of Denver. Rate your classes, share stories, chat with your study group and see what's happening on campus, all in one place. Join with your school email. The campus map, class reminders and campus assistant work for anyone, with no account. COURSES AND PROFESSORS Know the class before you register. See how students rated a course's difficulty and its professors from 1 to 5, read what they wrote, and see whether they'd take the professor again. Ratings come from verified students at that school, and they're color-coded, so an easy course and a great professor both show green. List the classes you're taking now and the ones you've taken, from your school's full catalog (graduate courses included), add who teaches them, and rate them yourself. Edit or delete your review any time. You rate classes at your own school and can browse all three. Your course list stays private unless you choose to show it. STORIES Share a photo or a 15-second video for 24 hours. Tap the heart to like a story, see who viewed and liked yours, and get replies as messages. Stories from public accounts you don't follow show up at the end of the row, so you can find new people. EVENTS See what's on today and this week: club meetings, games, study sessions, free food. Post your own event with a photo and a building, RSVP in one tap, and see who's going. POSTS A Discover feed for the whole campus, a Following feed for the people you pick, and a board for your school. Add a photo or a 15-second video, then like and reply. You post under a handle you choose, and your email is never shown. MESSAGES AND GROUP CHATS Message students across campus, or start a group chat with up to 32 people for a study group, a club or weekend plans, with reactions and push notifications. Name a group, mute it or leave any time. PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW Suggestions on Home, in Discover people and in Quick Add on the DMs tab, each with the reason it's there, like "Follows you" or a class you both list. Tap anyone in your alerts, a story or a group chat to open their profile. Hide any suggestion you don't want to see. YOUR PROFILE A handle, a photo, your major and year, a short bio, links to your LinkedIn or Instagram, and your classes if you want to show them. Make your account private and choose who can message you. GET TO CLASS ON TIME Enter your weekday schedule once and AurariaGO tells you when it's time to leave, 15 minutes before each class, with a walking route on the campus map. Your schedule and reminders stay on your phone. ASK THE CAMPUS ASSISTANT Parking rates, safety escort numbers, dining locations and library hours. It works fully offline, so it answers in the Tivoli basement too. STUDENTS ONLY Joining takes a verified school email (ucdenver.edu, msudenver.edu, ccd.edu or student.cccs.edu), and it's never shown to anyone. Every board is moderated and reported content is reviewed within 24 hours. You can report or block from any post, profile, chat or story, and every video and story gets an automated safety check before anyone else sees it. AurariaGO is made by a CU Denver grad student and isn't affiliated with the Auraria Higher Education Center or any of the three schools.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AurariaGO at 100% against DEN Insider's 29%. AurariaGO also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). DEN Insider's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 3) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
