Coursicle Reviews

by Gursh Singh

I just recently downloaded Coursicle because I needed to see when one of my college class this fall would have seat available because it was all full. Well a few weeks went by and I never got notified that class has opened. I kept checking Coursicle whenever I got the chance but it kept saying that class if full. So being bit pesky I decided to hop on my computer and check out if the class was open on my university’s website every other evening . Eventually on my occasional evening checks I saw the class had opened and I checked my app to see if this app had notified me which it hadn’t so than I went into Coursicle and saw that it still said the class was full to my surprise. Luckily I got into the class thanks to my doubt. So idk why it didn’t notify me but that’s my experience- if you do decide to use Coursicle I’d just make sure to still double check on your own at your universities website.

I really love Coursicle, and it’s saved me a lot of hassle of stressing about courses and refreshing pages every hour or so. I just get the notification that a class opens up and then I know when my courses open up.

However, to track more than one course at a time, you need to pay a $5 per quarter/semester fee. This isn’t an auto subscription (which I personally like, but ymmv), but it can be a turnoff for some. There is a referral system for free premium, so if you have a group of three other friends and just refer each other, then this shouldn’t be a problem, but otherwise it can be a little annoying.

Definitely worth the price in my opinion, and I’m not sure why people are 1-starring Coursicle. It’s really good!

honestly a super useful app when registering for courses; last semester I really wanted to get into a specific seminar and used this app to help me track the availability...sure enough someone did end up dropping and I managed to snag the spot in time. Turned out to be one of the best classes and professors I ever had so major thanks. However I noticed with the new display update when you pull up a class to see its details sometimes the display will be improperly zoomed in so most of the details would be cut off (looks like borders of the display weren’t sized right). not a huge problem for me since I mainly use Coursicle to track class capacity but still somewhat bothersome. overall great app :)

As an incoming college Freshman, planning out your schedule in preparation for course registration can be very overwhelming: coming up with multiple back up classes, keeping up with the class times and professors. this app has been my go to, easing the entire process. It’s so easy to create multiple schedules, or varieties of the same one. I don’t have premium, but do not see any reason for it; the free version does everything I need. My only issue is there is no login, so I can’t sync the schedules on my computer to that on my phone, however, this app was very easy to get in contact with, and they are currently resolving this issue. Highly recommend!

I think it’s great that this app lets students pick one class free of charge.
There used to be a free service like that called Noclosedclass that was completely free, but it’s no longer active.
It’s understandable that services like that come with a big cost: they need developers to work on it, which is not cheap, they need to pay for server fees and etc...
For that reason I believe that students should not feel frustrated to pay for the premium version of this app, since it’s a great service for students and nobody would want it do die out, just like what happened to Noclosedclass.
The price is fair for what they provide, and on top of that, the customer service is great.
I had an issue in which I had to pay twice in order to obtain the premium version.
I emailed the this app team about it, and the person who replied me was this app’s Head of Growth and developer. She assisted me to solve the issue extremely quickly and helped me to get a refund for my extra charge.
I appreciate the commitment and professionalism they have, and I hope they can stay active for many years to come!
Thanks!

Thanks to this app, I was able to register in my last class for my major! It was completely full when my registration date opened up, but 2 weeks later I got a notification from Coursicle that a spot has opened up and I jumped right on my schools website to take that seat.

I am a senior now and I wish I would have found Coursicle when I first started college, it would have been a life saver. You can only track 1 class for free, or you can pay $5 to Coursicle to track unlimited classes which I would HIGHLY recommend! That way in case you cannot get into that specific class, you have a back up. I believe you can also refer 3 friends to be able to track unlimited classes for free as well.

Thank you this app! I’m happy to say because of you guys, I will be finishing my prerequisites this fall semester and applying to my program next spring:)

Also! I’d like to add that their customer service is AMAZING! Friendly and respond in a timely manner, despite them only having a team of 3 people. Your app is great! Thank you guys 100x!!!

Okay, WOW, I’m still in shock right now! I’ve been planning to take a calculus class with a professor who is pretty much famous in the math department. His classes always fill up within seconds. I woke up on registration day and all of his classes were full and I was devastated (I even considered skipping class to find a replacement worthy.) all other professors had average to bad reviews. Just an hour ago, I clicked on Coursicle , doubtful that the red dot would change to green, BUT IT DID! My heart pace went crazy and I ran to my laptop to register and I got the last spot!!!!! My schedule is PERFECT because of Coursicle. I didn’t think I would ever get in because of how popular he is but Coursicle restored my faith and hope!!! WOW I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT. I’m so impressed with how Coursicle is made, I could never make something like this. Takes a genius! Thank you for this innovation, you have helped tons of students like me. Highlight of my day was my this app notification switching to open! THANK U

I had purchased this for my classes (small fee but 100% worth it) at my university. I’m currently enrolled in classes that I wouldn’t have otherwise known had opened up to me. Their customer service is also fantastic and extremely quick. I had purchased the full version and suddenly it had said I didn’t pay for the full version. After contacting support, not only did they fix the issue but were also very friendly and assisted me in every way possible to make sure my experience was great. Highly recommend Coursicle for seeing when classes open up and I will continue to use it for the rest of my classes during my college career. Thank you so much this app!

Coursicle is absolutely incredible! Coursicle is SO helpful in notifying when courses open, which is a necessity at my school where courses fill up fast. As a freshman with last pick for registration at a state school, Coursicle has helped me get my first choice schedule both semesters which is insane! There’s an amazing option to receive free premium access if you refer 3 friends, but otherwise, the $5 fee is completely worth it-you’re paying thousands in tuition, so you may as well make the semester worthwhile by paying the additional $5 and actually take the courses you want to take. Customer service has been amazing as well! Overall 10/10 app.

Coursicle has been a lifesaver. I’ve had consistently terrible enrollment passes in college, and I’ve constantly been unable to get into the classes I wanted. I don’t have time to sit and refresh my class enrollment page every minute of every day, so Coursicle has been seriously so useful in telling me when a spot opens up in a class I couldn’t get and needed for my major. Tracking one class is free and honestly, the small fee for tracking multiple classes is totally worth it. The founders of Coursicle are also very responsive, so if you have any questions or problems, they’ll reach back out to you pretty quickly. Seriously recommend Coursicle!

by B_kicklighter

I’ve used this app for 3 semesters now and I have nothing but good things to say. I go to Clemson (so a relatively big school) and registration is like the hunger games for the students, so I recommend Coursicle to everyone. this app helps track classes that are full/you couldn’t get into and then sends you a notification when they’re open/closed. I’ve gotten into a few classes that I really needed in order to graduate because of Coursicle . You can track 2 (maybe 3?) classes for free and then premium is unlimited. It is $5 a semester, but so is a Starbucks coffee. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, the customer service is a 10/10! They got back to me within 24 hours, knew exactly what was wrong, and got me the money back the same day.

this app has been extremely helpful for me in planning out my college classes each quarter. To get premium access, you just need three friend referrals each quarter, and fifteen for premium for life. Plus, with the recent update, each class lists the class details, which is really helpful to make sure my classes aren’t overlapped. Also, I’ve had great customer service and quick responses from Coursicle ’s team, so any minor issues were quickly resolved. Overall, this has definitely made my college experience less stressful and more organized, and it’s a great app for college students to plan their college schedule!

Coursicle is so convenient and helpful. I’ve used Coursicle before to track my classes, and I’ve gotten in because of the notifications I get when the class goes from closed to open. Coursicle updates the classes really quickly and it’s just very convenient to have. The customer service is also impeccable. The previous times I’ve used it though, I’ve only needed to track one class a semester, so I didn’t need to use the premium feature, but this semester I needed to track multiple classes. I referred my friends and they downloaded it but I didn’t get the referral credit, so I emailed them and they checked the records. They couldn’t find anything, but they ended up making an exception and giving me the 3 credits any way so I could redeem for premium!

I hesitate to share this because more competition with people using Coursicle to monitor for open classes is not in my best interest. But I’m giddy with how easy it was to get into 5 different closed classes with really popular professors over the course of two semesters. $4.99 is worth it!!! You get a notification the moment it comes open and sometimes it’s just one spot. I quickly sign onto my university account and register for the class, then shortly after get another notification from this app that it’s now closed again. I missed it being open several times because I just couldn’t get online right away, but just waiting it out paid off and it eventually opened up again. If you are patient, you will get the class you want with the assistance of Coursicle.

Coursicle has saved me on multiple occasions by alerting me when a certain section of a class I desperately wanted had an open seat (it’s often about getting the good teacher and avoiding the uncaring long-tenured ones, amiright?). It also helps by letting you know early when a certain section fills up so you can re-plan your schedule. I’ve seen reviews complaining about the price of premium - come on, man - it’s less than an upscale coffee at Starbucks that people don’t think twice about. Awareness of your FULL desired schedule and ALERTS when things change - that’s a GPA saver right there! And one more thing - when I had an issue with something loading, Coursicle co-founders reached out to me to make sure things were fixed!

I’ve been using this app for 2 years now since as a first and second year students you get last priority on registration. Before i’m able to enroll in classes i just pick out my preferred schedule and by the time enrollment time comes almost all of them are full. This is expected since I go to a big school. As soon as I got this app and paid the $5 for premium i tracked all the classes I’ve wanted and just depended on this app to notify me when they open since it’s so fast. I’ve used this app for four semesters and will be using it again this fall, it’s my favorite app for college. The $5 are every semester but I don’t mind since it’s less money compared to taking a class with a bad professor that’s still available and risking failing the class altogether. I’ve been able to refer three friends as well when I wasn’t able to pay the $5. I love Coursicle over all, highly recommended it !! :)

I have a new college freshman and the first time registering for clases was a nightmare. He logged on five minutes before his appointment time, plugged in his courses and when the moment came to register.....surprise....3 of 5 classes were full!!

Later that day after stressing, a friend told me about this app. I told my son and we uploaded Coursicle that day. We decided to do the free version that tracks just one class and with this app and patience....he got the schedule he wanted. Last week was spring registration and although he got the classes he needs, he did not get the times he wanted so he decided to pay the very small $4.99 fee so that he can track all three courses at the same time.

This is an app our family will be using a lot over the next several years!! Thanks this app for helping make this whole process easier!!!

My friend told me about Coursicle last semester, but I had already registered and didn’t get it until a few days ago. I literally waited until the last minute to register for fall classes and couldn’t find any open classes that I could take. I got the name of Coursicle from my friend again to use, but was disappointed that I couldn’t track more classes without paying. But it does have a referral option, so if you get three people to download Coursicle and choose their college using your link, you can get premium for free. I got 4 people to download it and all but it still wouldn’t work after like a day or two, so I emailed customer service. They checked to see if it went through their records but still didn’t see it, however, they took my word for it and still gave me the premium! I’ve already transferred into one class that I needed. Best app I’ve got for school stuff.

I’ve been using their website for a while and I am honestly so grateful for it. Then I learned that they had an app which let you track open seats and helped to see which classes have waitlists. I couldn’t be more thankful.

It put me off at first because of the small fee I had to pay, but they had the option to redeem a free premium semester by referring three new friends - which I did. But for some reason it did not work. I contacted support and they were very helpful and kind and they helped solve the issue. I got the classes I wanted!

Next semester I am surely getting premium again because honestly I’d rather just spend $5 (if the redeem thing does not work more than once) to get the good professors and the classes I want, than suffer for 15 weeks and get professors who make me feel like i’m totally wasting my hard earned tuition money which is way more money than $5. Definitely worth it.

I waited all break to try and get out of my classes. I got out of my one 8AM class early on, but waited all break only to see a notification appear at 10AM for less than 5 minutes, during which the course opened and closed. Fortunately though, the same night I am writing this, the spot opened up once more for the 10AM class and so I got my perfect schedule. The notification that the classes open and close are almost in real time and so I was able to get on blackboard to add and drop the class within about 2 minutes. I am so happy to have spent the money on premium because I no longer have to deal with 8AMs or even 9AMs. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and would even suggest going premium to take full advantage of schedule optimization.

I’ve used Coursicle for the last 3 quarters of school and it has saved my life. I tend to have bad enrollment times at my school and many of my classes fill up before I can enroll. this app has helped me get into at least 3 classes and I plan to continue to use it for my college classes in the future. The only issue I have with it, which is why it isn’t a 5 star review, is that the notifications are slightly delayed. The class opens a few minutes before I get the notification on my phone which is a pain sometimes for competitive classes. Other than that I love Coursicle!

by DMNDpiviotscotch

I didn't have another solution for checking classes other than taking time and individually checking each class to see if they're open. It was really exhausting, so I asked around for friends to help check while I was busy at work. One day my friend told me about Coursicle called this app. He said it was really helpful for tracking classes. Thought I'd give it a try and for the free one track it was really helpful. Decided to buy the premium to track 10 more. Coursicle is worth getting even the premium too. The this app team are also able to help with questions and issues too!

by Lily Lii

Simple, easy to use, and the reason I got all my preferred classes this semester. Thank you this app!! I agree with other users that a schedule feature would be useful, but don’t think that its worth docking a star off for it. It’s easy enough to just screenshot your schedule, figure out which section you want, then track that specific class. Most university’s have schedule planners that pre-select your course/section based on which teacher and any “blocks” you put on (aka if you don’t want class after 4 PM, before 9 AM, etc) so it’s really not too big of an inconvenience. Again, cannot stress enough how happy I am with Coursicle 💗

by SidTheConqueror

I really wanted to enrol in a history seminar, because I heard the instructor was amazing and that he was retiring after this year. I had lost hope of getting into the class, because it only had space for 20 people and was already full, with no waitlist available. Thinking that there was nothing to lose, I downloaded this app and added this class, and today I got a notification that the class had 1 space left. I immediately got on my laptop and was able to successfully enrol. I’m so glad I chose to use this app and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has missed enrolment for a class they really want.

by JShimonov

I’m a current freshman in college and it is honestly super hard to find classes when freshmen are the last people to choose classes for the next semester. I was trying to get a 300 level class for the fall but by the time it was my turn to enroll, all the good professors were gone. I heard from others that there would be people that would drop the class but to be honest, I’m not trying to sit in front of my screen reloading the page every minute to see if a class opens up. Coursicle SAVED me! Just yesterday a person dropped out of one of the classes and I was finally able to apply for it.

The wait was worth it. Get this app!

by Karma Kurse

Getting the classes you want can definitely be a struggle and this app makes it so easy to know when one you want opens back up. Coursicle makes it so you don’t have to have another thing on your plate to worry about checking on because they send you a notification when it reopens! With Coursicle you are limited to how many classes you can have up at one time, but they give you a way to not have to pay. Just get three people to download using your link and bam you have premium free for the semester. If you want it permanently it’s only 4.99 that’s not that much when you need to be in certain classes. Overall this app is a great app that helps students so much I love it!

by Disappointed Snap Chat User

As a freshman, signing up for classes was very scary. During the process I got locked out of a couple of my options & I was dreading making a new schedule. Coursicle saved my life!!! After referring 3 of my friends (who also were locked out of classes & needed the help of Coursicle) I tracked all 3 classes, & within 2 months they all opened & I got the chance to quickly enroll. Definitely my favorite app & so so helpful in the enrollment process!!!!! You can easily search classes and track them once you refer 3 friends, & you get notifications as soon as a class opens up. Highly recommend it to all college students!
