So here's my honest take on Common App. I've tested a bunch of college planning apps and this one's pretty solid. The interface is user-friendly and it's great having everything in one place, from researching schools to actually submitting applications. The syncing with the desktop version is a nice touch. But it's not without its issues - the ads can get repetitive and some of the more advanced features take a while to figure out. Overall though, it's a helpful tool that makes the college application process a lot more manageable.

Description

Been using Common App for a couple months now. It’s basically a college application platform that lets you apply to over 1000 schools all in one place. Pretty solid app if you’re a high school student getting ready for college.

Here’s what you do: you can build up your profile, research financial aid, and submit applications to schools. There’s also a messaging feature where you can talk to counselors – that’s pretty cool. And the whole thing syncs with the desktop version, so you can work on your application across devices.

Look, if you’re applying to college, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a bit annoying – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want an all-in-one college app experience.
