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.

TourStack plans college visits around the tours colleges actually run. We read the published campus tour and information-session schedules of about 1,700 US colleges, straight from each college's own visit pages, and refresh them every day. Every time links to that college's registration page. TOURS NEAR YOU Type your ZIP and see every college within about an hour's drive that runs a tour this week, nearest first, with the drive time and the next tour times. COPILOT Say which colleges you want to see — "Tufts, Brandeis and BC in one day" — and Copilot finds a date they all run tours, picks which session to attend at each, orders the stops and works out the driving. You get the day on a map: when to leave, each tour, the drive between them, when you're home, and a link to register at every college. Ask it to add a college or move the date and it re-plans. EVERY COLLEGE, FREE Admissions (admit rate, SAT and ACT ranges, deadlines), cost and net price, financial aid, graduation rates and earnings, admissions and cost trends over the years, campus life, safety, history and the practical side of visiting. College data comes from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard and the colleges themselves. MY COLLEGES Save colleges as you browse. See each one's next tour, how many are coming up, its admit rate, SAT and net price. Mark where you are with each — visit planned, visited, applying, applied, accepted — keep notes, sort the list and compare up to four side by side. CHANGE ALERTS, FREE Sign in with your email (no password) and turn on alerts: we email you when a college you follow changes its tours, deadlines or fees. Your colleges, notes and alerts stay in sync with tourstack.app. TRIPS See the days when your saved colleges all run tours, so one drive covers several campuses. TOURSTACK PRO Free shows tours for the next 7 days. Pro opens the full caough the season — plus nearby colleges you can see the sameday and every date your saved colleges line up. Monthly or annual subscription, renewing automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage it in your Apple ID settings.
