Review summary

Loper - College Search is praised for its enjoyable swipe feature, user-friendly interface, and helpful college insights. However, multiple users report significant bugs including frequent crashes, slow performance, and failures in showing recommended colleges. Many face challenges during sign-up and verification, with some wary about privacy issues due to forced personal information sharing. While the app shows potential as a college search tool, it requires substantial fixes for usability and user trust before it can be widely recommended.

Pros

The swipe feature is enjoyable and helps users find colleges that fit their preferences.
The app provides helpful insights and suggestions for college searching.
The user interface is intuitive, easy to use, and informational.
It is a promising tool for students struggling to decide where to go after graduation.

Cons

The app is very slow and laggy, sometimes causing overheating of the phone.
Users frequently experience bugs, such as crashes when opting out of data sharing and inability to scroll or access school details.
The app often fails to show recommended colleges even after prompting that recommendations are available.
Sign-up and verification processes are problematic, with issues entering phone numbers and verifying accounts.
Privacy concerns arise as the app pushes users to share personal information with colleges and can result in unsolicited college emails.

2025-01-12	Ri*****	Was excited to see what college I might be interested in going to in the future. However, after almost finishing my sign up with my date of birth, the app consistently shows the message "Oops! Our system timed out - try restarting the app" preventing app use

2024-11-24	Ke*****	I would give this app a five star rating if I wasn't having issues with it. The biggest problem I've been having is when I click on a school I have saved it won't let me scroll to see any of the school details. Anothr thing is that sometimes it'll say I have recommended schools but there won't be any. I hope these bugs can get fixed soon

2024-10-12	Fr*****	Couldn't even sign up. Tried verifying but it wouldn't accept the numbers they texted. Probably a phone number collecting scam

2024-06-04	Ma*****	I like the concept of this app. However in it's current state the app is extremely slow and buggy. If they would just fix the app speed It would be 5 stars.

2024-01-24	la*****	EXTREMELY slow. many times I'm having to wait a long time for it to either load or register what i tapped on. the app could almost be considered unusable with how slow it is, and how it overheats your phone.
