If you want to narrow down your college choices, then this app is the best place to start since it gives you such a vast array of statistics that you almost feel like you know what makes the freshmen class and college tick. There may be other sources that cover thousands of colleges but they provide a fraction of the data and certainly don’t have information that must be sourced by hand, such as the latest cost of attendance or priority scholarship deadlines. I actually like the fact that the developer focused on four-year colleges and created great tools rather than just adding as many colleges as possible.

I love the way that this app lets you browse through colleges by swiping and sorting them in the order you want. And, it’s amazing how many different ways you can filter them so that only those appear that meet your criteria. It even lets you filter by early decision, early action or colleges that accept the Common App. Really cool and time-saving. It certainly beats looking at lists or searching for colleges (one by one), especially when you don’t necessarily know which ones to look for (even tho the app lets you do this).

This is not sponsored or paid in any way. I’ve had this app for 30 minutes and if I could give this app 200 stars I would. It’s like a really good dating app for college. It gives you everything you need to know about a college in one page. It is super helpful for finding colleges and narrowing your search down because you can sort it, organize it, and filter it as much as you want from distance away to religious affiliations. This app is everything.
