Ratings and reviews

The app glitches and kicks my daughter off right after she has spent loads of time writing essays for college applications. When she logs back in all her hard work has often been erased. VERY FRUSTRATING. This app is supposed to aid in applying for universities/colleges, but has taken tons of extra time re-doing everything that has been deleted everytime it freezes and glitches...PLEASE FIX!

Although a nice app, I'm unsatisfied with only 20 colleges you can apply to. Why limited applicants to that? I was told to keep us from applying to every school...but if your denied, or need to change schools you can't do it if you submit application. I think that's dumb. It's not like actual paperwork is being thumbed through. Get with the times or another app will take your place.

This I a great app. I appreciate the developers but I wish it was a little easier to upload documents like official transcripts directly from the app instead of having to do it from Gmail. Also, it keeps going back to the create account page anytime I leave the app for a few seconds. Nevertheless, this is the best app for obtaining scholarships. Thank you!
