Remember every campus, compare every school, and choose a college with confidence - together. Toured captures each visit the moment you're standing on it, so the schools never blur together, even after a dozen tours. There's nothing else like Toured. Other apps just help you search for colleges - it's the only one built for actually visiting them: capture each tour live, rank schools by your values, and experience it with your family, in real time. Rated 4.8 stars by students and parents. Free to start - no credit card, no spreadsheet chaos. CAPTURE EVERY CAMPUS, NOT YOUR MEMORY Go live the moment you arrive - a tour timer runs on your lock screen while you snap captioned photos and tag notes as pro, con, or neutral on the spot. Toured even prompts you to log when you're near a campus. So six schools later, every detail is still there. RANK BY WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Weight what you and your family actually cares about - academics, value, campus, housing, dining, location, safety, athletics, and more - and Toured builds a personalized Fit Score for every school. Twelve visits all in one clear ranking list. KNOW EVERY SCHOOL COLD Explore 6,000+ US colleges with the numbers that decide it - admissions odds, true cost and net price by income, financial aid, outcomes, demographics, SAT/ACT, and so much more. The research that takes hours across a dozen tabs, in one tap. COMPARE SCHOOLS SIDE BY SIDE Put up to four colleges head to head on cost, acceptance rate, outcomes, and other statistics - then overlay your own ratings and tagged pros and cons on a radar chart. The gut-check and the facts in one view. TOUR TOGETHER, FROM ANYWHERE Link accounts with one invite link - parents follow up to five students, join the same live tour from another phone, recommend schools, and add notes color-coded by author, appearing in real time. The student always stays in control. WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING "This app is amazing. No other real apps that let you document and compare your college tour experience. Parents can also help document and see the tour timeline. Also tons of helpful stats about every school at your fingertips." - Kristen R, parent START FOR FREE Plan your first visit in under two minutes - and walk into every campus knowing you will remember what you saw.
