Campus Comrade
Read full descriptionHide full description
Campus Comrade is the easiest way to know who's on campus before you leave home. No more texting five different people to ask if anyone's around. Simply check the app and see exactly which of your friends are on campus, which building they're in, and what they're up to — all in one glance. HOW IT WORKS - Create an account with your email - Add friends by searching their username - Update your status when you arrive on campus - See your friends' statuses update in real time WHAT YOU CAN SHARE - Whether you're on campus or not - Which building you're in - What you're doing — classes, studying, lectures, clubs, and more PRIVACY FIRST Campus Comrade never accesses your location. Everything is updated manually by you, so you're always in control of what your friends can see. Perfect for commuter students, those who don't use social media often, and anyone who wants to make the most of their time on campus.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Campus Comrade at none against BARQ!'s 6. BARQ!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
