ZeeMee: College Chat & Friends Reviews

by Ryderbray

ZeeMee is great and I love the idea. I will definitely be using this as I decide what school I’m going to so I can meet people. However, recently my phone has been playing audio from videos on the home page. The audio will play randomly even if I haven’t used ZeeMee at all. Even closing all apps doesn’t make it stop. It will just play the audio on a loop over and over until I restart my phone. I just happened to go on ZeeMee today and realized that’s where it was coming from. Will be redownloading ZeeMee once I choose a school. But have to uninstall for now because of the glitch.

I really love ZeeMee it’s a Great way to communicate with people who are interested in the same college as you. The problem that I have is ZeeMee is not sending me any notifications. I have checked the settings on my phone and they are set so that I should receive notifications but ZeeMee isn’t sending me any and then when I go in it’s like I’ve missed a whole conversation or people have reached out to me about roommates and it seems like I’m ignoring them but it’s like I’m not getting the notification that they’ve texted me I really hope they fix this cause it’s a really good app

First and foremost, I think ZeeMee is a great platform when it comes to discovering other students attending colleges and finding potential roommates.

However, I have been really frustrated with ZeeMee ’s notifications. I specifically went through each channel and selected the ‘no notifications’ option for each one. Less than two hours later, I began receiving notifications, and, to my surprise, the notifications were reset back to ‘some notifications’. It is amoral as a developer to reset a user’s notification preferences after they specifically ask the developer not to send them. Yes, I could just disable notifications altogether from settings, but I was hoping to still receive notifications for my private messages outside of the college channels.

I hope the developers can fix this issue and address these concerns.

ZeeMee has been great so far and really allows college students to connect. However, it’s kind of hard for us to connect when our notifications keep getting muted. I personally thought this was just a problem I experienced but after asking the people in my chat, I learned that I wasn’t the only one experiencing this. Not sure if there is a bug but if there was a way to stop my notifications from being muted ZeeMee would be so much better.

I really have enjoyed using this app to meet other students at the college I have committed to. However, I think it could use some serious improvements. First, I think specific religions should be included in the “interests” options so we can filter through roommates who have the same spiritual views (I’m Jewish and have been having trouble finding other Jewish students). Next, I think there should be the option to select more than one major/interest in the roommate finder search function, as being limited to a selection of 2 different majors/hobbies is not enough. While ZeeMee is helpful, it’s definitely far from perfect, and I understand that, but sometimes it feels as though this app is making my ability to find similar people more difficult than if I hadn’t been using it.

I really loved ZeeMee before it got the new layout and makeover. Don’t get me wrong it’s fine now and everything but it’s honestly more complicated and less fun. What happened to the Accepted and Attending tabs? The only thing that gives you people is for Interested. It’s right around the time that college acceptances are being delivered and i would really like to share my status with other students! I was looking forward to using the find a roommate part of ZeeMee, and now there really isn’t much I can do. I also don’t like how the groups have been dissolved into just pictures. It was way more helpful to be able to group all the extracurriculars together and now they are all mixed without a general caption. Please go back to the old layout or implement these things in the new one! And a response would be nice, thank you!

The website started off really good and the format was simple and clean. Now it looks messy overall and it’s extremely uncomfortable to use. The changes on the format were unnecessary, the website was fine the way it was. Please make the older desktop version an option. I spent time on my description of myself and now it’s gone, the update ruined the purpose of this for me. I’m a Junior and really wanted to use this as a part of my applications, but now I’m giving it a second thought. Please make the older version/desktop version an option, a lot of us liked it.

The this app app just keeps getting better! The new features they have rolled out this year are incredibly helpful. Also, they have completely updated their chat! It is a whole new way to interact on ZeeMee . You can post live videos, GIFs, drawings…the list goes on and on and it is amazing. My favorite part about the chat is the live video feature. I can stream a live video and get instant feedback. Also, the video recorder is now so much easier to use. this app is incredibly user-friendly and such a great way to connect with colleges. It really helps you become more than an application. The link between student and college is easy to make, and the connections made prior to applying are priceless. ZeeMee can even help you find a roommate! It really is an excellent tool for anyone preparing for college and for current college students alike. I highly recommend this app!

I'm going through my college apps this year, and my this app profile has literally become my creative outlet. I'm able to talk about myself through ZeeMee 's video questions and record my life experiences so I can really show me in my college apps. Plus, a lot of schools I'm applying to are pretty far away so following students at schools I'm interested in allows me to see what student life is like there. Incredibly helpful app for applying to school!

I’m an incoming freshman who will be going to a college all the way across the country. I have a lot of friends where I live, but little to none I knew who would be attending the same college as me, or even one in the same state. It’s always awkward trying to make new friends in a new place, so I decided to try ZeeMee out so I wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble once I’m there.
Although most of my time on this app had been spent finding friends and migrating to more well known social media such as instagram or snapchat, this app has provided the platform for me to meet these people in the first place. I’ve met some amazing people on ZeeMee, and I hope it grows and helps other prospective college students like me.

This by far is one of the best apps I’ve found to look for potential room mates. While I did have an issue signing up for an account, the technical team for ZeeMee is amazing though and fixed my issue ASAP. If you are on the fence about trying ZeeMee, try it. The communities created by each different college are amazing and I’ve met some cool people from the roommate quizzes. I will definitely be using ZeeMee frequently in my quest for a roommate.

by Chris Sadeghi

this app creates great interaction between potential students and the colleges they are interested in. By current college students and admissions counselors creating videos about their everyday life, these individuals are able to see firsthand what its like to be a college student. Prior to coming to college, one of the biggest concerns a student has is how a college really is beyond all of the information presented in its tours and info sessions. this app minimizes and destroys this problem, creating a fun and enjoyable experience for perspective students!!!

by Leshaia

ZeeMee is basically like social media, but for school, so you can easily connect with future or current students and get their perspectives on things. My favorite part is the communication you can have with counselors, made readily accessible through chats. They respond wayyyy faster through ZeeMee versus email, which is a major plus if you have lots of questions.

by 10ccer

The videos are super fun to record, and it’s easy with the chatbot questions! I started following the schools I am applying to so their videos from student ambassadors on campus show up in my feed. One thing I would like is to be able to like videos and see view counts. Applying to college I felt like my transcript, test scores and personal statement really didn’t describe me and what I can bring to campus. this app is a way for me to showcase much more about who I am. am definitely submitting my this app to all the colleges I am applying to.

by Btslvr

One of the factors that played into my college decision was this app. It helped me make so many friends and connections before I even stepped foot on campus. You can add yourself into group chats of school you applied to and by doing that I learned more about their campus life before committing to the school. ZeeMee also just helped me learn more about the college admissions process and what admissions officers might be looking for in an application. This was a huge stress reliever and a large factor in my final decision towards what I should do.

by Otttttttttttooooooooooopppppp

I am applying for college and am now on to do scholarships in hope of getting into my dream school. The main scholarship I am applying for (and the one I am most likely to receive) requires me to make a video on this app. That sounded easy enough until I actually downloaded ZeeMee . I cannot even get past the LOADING screen. I have tried multiple times off of multiple devices to verify my phone number but to no avail. It just buffers and doesn’t do ANYTHING. If I could give ZeeMee less than one star I would. Save yourself time and a headache and don’t download.

by Vivisvibrant

ZeeMee initially crashed until they fixed it and I haven't had problems since! I am definitely satisfied with this app and would recommend it. At first, I wasn't thrilled about this app going completely mobile and more video-centered, but in the end it was so much better. Finding pictures and captions can be painstakingly hard, but how convenient and interesting is it to just "pass" or "sure" a question and then answer it (or not). It is funny how the very thing I didn't care for before (the videos) are now the most cherished part of my this app! Change is good....

this app helped me feel less lonely in 2021 quarantine. I joined after a friend recommended it to me, and before I knew it I was getting involved as a Student Admin, spending lots of time in social group chats, and meeting tons of people.
Eventually my use of ZeeMee died down though. Once I had met a ton of people already, and I had decided on a school, dorm, and roommate, I began to have less and less use for ZeeMee . Overall, i am still grateful for what this app did for me and would still highly recommend for any college applicant.

by HG027

I would definitely recommend this app to every college applicant, because it really enhances your application.

When I created my this app page three years ago, I made a one-min Meet Me video and uploaded some pictures about my extracurriculars and hobbies. It was super simple, but so many colleges viewed it and loved it!! As an international student, I got into Berkeley in the end, and I believe my this app page helped me a lot!

Now that this amazing app is available! There are so many fantastic features that can connect students together! Definitely take some time and make a this app page. Give colleges a visual representation of yourself. And then, enjoy the great benefits that come along with your page :)

this app in itself is an amazing and useful app for students! ZeeMee becomes even better because the absolutely incredible costumer service which I am BEYOND impressed with. They truly find the best solutions to any of your concerns to help make ZeeMee super user-friendly for you. The support team will literally spend an hour or more helping you if you need it. This is a completely honest fact and I know this because I was just helped by this app for over an hour as they helped me with all of my concerns. Specifically "Will" helped me and he rocks. ZeeMee is so user-friendly and a great way for students to get themselves in the eye of colleges. I recommend it and so does everyone I know. Download it now.

The desktop version allows you so much more freedom of expression across different mediums. The mobile app is so limiting, especially since ZeeMee crashes every time I try to record video. As I plan to major in film, I had video clips I planned to put on my profile. Unfortunately, that’s not an option anymore. My friend got into college by doing that. I was so excited to use the old version to compile a collection of media that shows who I am, however with deadlines approaching and the drastic and change to ONLY mobile I don’t see this as an option with anymore with this app.

Update 2: Another shoutout to their strong dedication to customer support. Thanks you guys!

Update: the customer service guy works really hard and reached out several times trying to help fix my problem however the issue still exists (⭐️—> ⭐️⭐️⭐️)

this app’s app structure goes like this:

1. You like a school? Cool add them, but most schools don’t have any relevant content on ZeeMee ?

2. A school is interested in you? Doesn’t matter if you are! They’ll add themselves to your network and KEEP re-adding themselves no matter how many times you remove them!

Whoever made ZeeMee should be ashamed to have built it in such a way where colleges are able to select students to curate data from but students are not allowed to remove that college from spamming them with useless and repetitive advertisements.

The concept of an app like this is incredible. I can’t think of a better way for schools to be able to get to know who I am and see what my personality is like. It’s really a great way to not only have a face connected to the application, but to see the students personality come to life from more than just their essays. I definitely have enjoyed using it and would highly recommend ZeeMee to others.

by Jameskkkk

I absolutely love this app, and as a college ambassador I think that this is an amazing way to show prospective students about your school! The undergraduate admissions office also loves getting to know more about you on a personal level, and see your potential! I'd definitely recommend all high school student to get ZeeMee and to create your account today!
