User reviews
Student Beans is widely praised for effectively notifying users about student discounts, saving both money and time during online shopping. Students find it easy to use and reliable for ensuring no discounts are missed. However, some users report issues with regional inaccuracies, such as receiving US-based deals when browsing Australian sites, and occasional problems with outdated discounts or lack of deal visibility. Overall, it is a valuable extension for students seeking exclusive discounts but could improve localization and deal updating.
