UNiDAYS: Student Discount App Reviews

It’s very hard being a student, we all know this. The cost sometimes can really get you, especially when you are still in the beginning stages of your career. So you have to be way more conscious when it comes to how you spend money. I love UNiDAYS because it has provided me with deals that I did not know were available to me. So I am grateful and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Okay so I go to a trade school, (cosmo), I graduated from college with a bachelors years ago and once I realized it was useless I decided to do a trade. that said, this website definitely doesn’t think trade school is a real school. I send my ID and all the necessary verification and they circled around and around continuously asking me for verification until I finally said I have no idea what else you guys want from me, and I got an email that I was confirmed.
Alrighty I guess???
But then I’m not even eligible for half the stuff because my school is not considered “higher” education. Which the principal of is just offensive, like this is why everyone feels like they have to get a bachelors because trades are considered lesser education.
Just saying, please be nicer to trade school students. I still have massive student debt from cosmo school and can use the help. 🤷‍♀️

For the record I am only giving it one star because Apple Review requires me to rate the least but IT DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE A ONE STAR

Here’s the thing, when you go to their website AT FIRST, it’s really nice and well made. Colorful banners with lots of brands and discounts BUT THE SECOND YOU SIGN UP & LOG IN, literally EVERY PAGE is “Page not found” or “No results” or “We can’t find what you’re looking for. You may find it added to our site in the future” and ends with “Check back soon!”

The same goes for UNiDAYS !! It’s LITERALLY the biggest scam of all. Even when you try to delete your account on their page by going under Menu>Support>My Account>How Do I Delete My Account>Delete Account Form and you merely enter your password.. the page itself freezes. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT FOR AN HOUR NOW.

I’m not reviewing the student discounts provided with UNiDAYS because the this app app is a way to facilitate access to them. What I’m reviewing is the usability and functionality of UNiDAYS . IMHO I’ve never used a more annoying app. The pattern goes 4 small tiles representing a business that provides a student discount that you can click on. Then two long tiles that span the width of the screen taking up the equivalent of 2 smaller tiles each. These videos forcefully pop up full screen and take over with audio unless you’re quick enough to scroll past being careful not to scroll too far to the next cluster of videos waiting to forcefully pop up. These really break the experience and make UNiDAYS totally frustrating and annoying to use.

I am a student at northern virginia community college. I was asked to verify my account to renew my student plan. My student ID only shows an issue date and does not have expiration, so I contacted them and they told me that an enrollment verification would be accepted. I sent them all those documents, and they told me my account was verified, but it was not. I followed up a week later, and sent everything they had asked for other than Student ID card, because mine did not include an expire date, and I could not goto college in person to get a new one due to COVID-19, but they did not renew my account despite all the documents and even an official transcript that I submitted. They are ruining Apple's name as well. Stay away from them. Really disappointed

The hassle to try and renew with myunidays for Apple Music and other perks is not worth the discount. Recently tried to renew. Sent a email to customer service who requested specific documents to prove I was a student. Proceeded to sent those. Get another email stating that it is not enough and they were looking for certifying documents. Around that time I had been waiting for over a week. I got fed up and decided to close my account. The company needs to fix its processes. When deleting my account with them it’s titled “Your right to be forgotten request is all done” this is not a very business like way to tell someone their account is deleted. I would not recommend this to any student.

I love UNiDAYS because as we all know, being a college student isn't cheap; the discounts may seem small, but they're actually super helpful. I frequent the Aerie/American Eagle discount. I can't forget about "Student Prime" or the "Apple Music" discounts either!! Unfortunately, I don't remember how I came across UNiDAYS, however it should be advertised more! I told some class mates about it and they've never heard!

I have had my student Apple subscription for about a year now and they needed me to verify I’m still a student- okay cool that’s fine. But what’s not cool is when I try to log in they say my student email is invalid. This is an email that Georgia State University gave me and it worked last year- whats the issue? I am still a student here. When I try to reach out to the customer service- I hear squat. I have been trying for a month now and at the end of December I’m going to be charged double for my music because y’all can’t get your crap together. Such a headache. Don’t recommend this at all. I’ve worked in customer service before and this is NOT how you handle things.

You can’t even verify yourself without a student ID.
It clearly says in the description you can verify with either a student ID( if you have it), a student portal number or a student email account and yet every time I try to verify, it takes me to a student ID verification with no other options. Who designed your app and your website? It makes no sense.

Honestly UNiDAYS is a lifesaver. I go to a community College too. You have to type in your email correctly and check your school email too. UNiDAYS lets me purchase stuff for myself and still be able to be on a budget and buy my text books. I really hope more stores join in the future. Saving $1-5 may seem small but for a student like me it’s pretty big!

For any college students I definitely recommend using UNiDAYS for any type of purchase that allows you to use a student discount, saving every penny is worth it especially when you’re a college student. Even though there isn’t a lot of stores that offer student discounts on UNiDAYS hopefully in the near future they add more stores. But I STRONGLY recommend using UNiDAYS.

I downloaded UNiDAYS to get the student benefits that it claims it has. I have yet to seen these benefits because after I created my account, I no longer have access to it. Every time I open UNiDAYS , it loads & loads. I can’t even get the student membership for iTunes because when it opens in the browser, it just says “Cannot open page: Too many redirections”. I left UNiDAYS downloaded on my phone because I figured maybe UNiDAYS would update & this app would get rid of the glitches, but a year later, I’m still waiting. I don’t know why Apple would even use this to verify student eligibility 🤦🏾‍♀️

I got my student membership for iTunes music earlier today and it was through this app so I decided to get UNiDAYS . When I launched UNiDAYS it just kept loading. No buttons to click. No login. Just loading. So I went to google to sign up online and not on UNiDAYS . That worked. It was a very short process. Then it immediately sent me a verification email. When I clicked on the verify button it launched UNiDAYS . And then it loaded. And loaded. I haven’t been able to open UNiDAYS yet. I hope that it works eventually because I feel like it will be useful to me.

I use UNiDAYS religiously. But lately have been having lots of issues. In-store coupons barely work and getting a discount override depends on how the manager of the store I’m shopping at feels for the day.

I can only find coupons if I see them on the opening page in UNiDAYS . Everytime I go to search for a store, the entire app freezes. Can’t click on anything, can’t refresh, etc. If I force quit UNiDAYS is still doesn’t work. UNiDAYS is basically useless at this point

Issue needs to be fixed.

I really like how they interact with you and the deals are pretty great. I saved a lot of money during Black Friday and they’ve always got give aways from the companies on UNiDAYS . However lately I’ve been having an issue where it keeps logging me out and I’m not sure why. If there’s an update coming out to fix that I’d appreciate it. I’ve had UNiDAYS and I even reinstalled it. Still, would recommend it to any college student

Seriously, I was sort of hesitant to go through the student verification process but it literally took 2 minutes. I’m so happy I did, this company has student discount codes that work site wide at urban, AEO, Apple, adidas. I had no ideas these companies even offered student discounts and now I get them in one place. Come xmas, I’m going here first to figure where I can save the most!

As a college student, I got UNiDAYS to have some perks of having discounted things. Which is nice, but UNiDAYS is filled with things that are WAY TOO inappropriate. Why would college students need discounts on lingerie and see subtitles such as “positions of the week” ugh disgusting!!!! I just want a discount on coffee and books, that’s all I need as a college student. Some people may use it but there are other websites for that, not this one. Anyway, I’m deleting my account TODAY and I also reported them as well. Also their so called discounts are not worth it, very sketchy app, I hope it soon gets banned FOR LIFE

I found out about UNiDAYS cause I was trying to get the student discount for Apple Music. So I downloaded UNiDAYS in hopes that I would get the Apple Music discount went through the process and sent them a picture of my student Id and the support team said that my school doesn’t meet their requirements cause it wasn’t a higher level education (Degrees),which it’s a technical school. At the end of the day, I’m still a student and it’s still a school. I wouldn’t recommend UNiDAYS to a dog their full of it. So if I could’ve given them no stars I would’ve, a very distasteful app so guys you shouldn’t even bother wasting your time with this trash app👎

I literally have sent them dozens of emails with no response back. I seriously can’t believe there is no way to get ahold of them other then through support that never responds. Literally dozens of emails and support tickets for weeks and no replies. Nothing!!!! I can’t believe Apple makes you do this but what are you suppose to do when no one replies to your emails and you reach out to support. Seriously it’s the worst!!! I’m going to try to get ahold of Apple and see if I can show them all the emails and support tickets I’ve saved in order to prove I’ve tried to get ahold of them. This is beyond ridiculous!!!!

I am a college student from SoCal, but according to this app I live in Canada. I have never even been to Canada but my account is registered there somehow despite the fact that I am verified as a student through my California community college. Because of this I am unable to take advantage of any of the this app offers. I am ineligible for US offers and cannot use Canadian offers because they will not let me use them outside of Canada. I contacted the this app support and got a generic answer that was not even directed towards my problem. I would just make a new account but it won’t let me, so I’m here leaving this annoyed review instead.

When I went to renew/ verify my student status this year my school email was coming up as invalid. My school email was valid last year but somehow the same email is no longer valid. This is the email that my community college gives me. When I contacted support they gave me a generic response after multiple days saying I need to provide a student ID. I am doing online school through my community college (still a full time student though) so I don’t have an ID because my school doesn’t give them to online students. I have asked multiple times why my email is invalid and what else I can do to prove my student status and they never respond. Not only that but if you get more than one email from them within the same support ticket it is never the same person so I’m sure they never know what the issue is, thus the generic response that I’ve received multiple times. UNiDAYS seems very selective with what students they seem worthy of a discount, ridiculous.

I have been a university student for the past 2 years and have am still registered for the coming semester... I was able to receive benefits from having established an account since last year(2 semesters ago) and for some reason they could not verify that I am still a student so they immediately discontinued my benefits. When I tried to verify my eligibility(through my school email) this app kept me from completing my account by refusing to send me an email(which they indicated they sent) for account completion. Since then, I have tried numerous attempts at contacting support only to have been responded to by an automated email indicating that I have forgotten my password? I have in fact not forgotten my password, and have tried to explain my situation to them at least 5 times only to receive the same automated email about “forgetting your password”. I assume they are trying to get rid of the Apple Music student discount one way or the other... very distasteful

I never take the time to write reviews, but I feel compelled because of how horrifically bad this app customer service is.
In an attempt to reset my password, I discovered that for whatever reason, their reset links never send to my email - and no, it’s not in junk/spam, or anything like that.
I opened a ticket to try to get support to reset it, and the representative was completely incompetent. The few responses I did get from their customer service were laughable and redundant, and I’ve had to open multiple since just trying for a simple password reset, either to receive comedically unintelligent replies, or no response at all.
The service itself was fine the one time I was able to log in and use it, but I hardly see a point in bothering with UNiDAYS considering the company has no desire to let me sign into it.

I wanted to get the student discount for Apple Music and it made me go through this app. So I downloaded UNiDAYS as well. I entered my email and used a password from my phone and then UNiDAYS kept loading and loading so I closed UNiDAYS and tried to sign up again. It said there was already an account so I I tried logging in with the password my phone saved. And it said it was invalid. So I clicked reset. And then email said my account was incomplete and I had to complete it... but to complete it I had to log in... which I could not. So I used another email and made an account and tried updating to my actual email and it kept asking for my school and ID. Which I’ve already done. Ugh just so frustrating why does Apple make us go through this app

I like UNiDAYS a lot and clearly I don’t work for you and I’m sure my ideas mean very little but as I was using UNiDAYS I was thinking how great this would be for military discounts for active duty, veterans and dependents (spouses, children etc.) there are an quality apps for military like this surprisingly enough and it would make life much easier for us all and I already know all of my friends that live on base with me (military wives) would for sure download it and use it. You could even make it. First responders discount app which is military, national guard, reserves, EMTs/paramedics, police officers and firemen.

I thought it was some kind of scam before, but I used the codes and they worked. I read that there are some problems with some institutions, but for me was very simple to validate my school. I'm took the time to write this even though I never do these types of things because I see future in UNiDAYS. I hope the best!
