User Reviews

Reviewers praise Niche for offering helpful college information and scholarships in one place, with clear grading to evaluate options. However, recurring complaints center on the app’s shift away from housing and other features, a non-skippable onboarding process, privacy concerns due to data requirements, navigation friction (especially adding/removing schools and lack of progress tracking), and changes to cost information plus paid access for scholarships. Overall, users find it useful for college search but frustrated by scope, usability, and pricing changes.

Pros

All-in-one resource for college information, including scholarships and matching.
Helpful for college search and planning; provides motivation and guidance.
Clear, easy-to-understand information with a grading/matching system.
Strong scholarship information and funding opportunities.
Helps users find colleges that fit them and feel like the right fit.

Cons

Narrow focus on colleges only, removing housing/neighborhood info.
Onboarding requires non-skippable questions and cannot go back.
Requires extensive personal information; privacy concerns.
Navigation issues: difficult to navigate and cannot bypass adding more schools; lacks progress tracking.
Cost information is changed/hidden and scholarships require payment (paywall).

Recent reviews

Profile asks questions that cannot be skipped and you cannot go back.

It’s exactly what high school students need or want one problem it will default every thing to in-state but not a problem if someone in your close family is military

This app used to be very helpful for housing search and quality Neighbourhood findings and other information about cities, houses, neighborhoods and colleges.. etc. Now, I see that the new version is narrowed to just colleges so it’s useless for older people who are looking for other stuff other than colleges
