Great app for writing essays to the schools of your choice. I gave the app a 4 star rating because when i tried opening the app,it didn’t open. It kept telling me your browswer is out of date.

The system is not working at all. Whenever you press on apply, it shows nothing. I think they need to work on their system very well because most of the universities and colleges use it.

Smooth, easy to transition, and super convenient for people applying to college, especially when it comes to writing tons of supplemental college essays

Only goes out to my browser for signing in to a transfer student account. Wanted to have a app that’s easily accessible but it just goes out to my browser, not in app

The app is good but I wish that there was a more “common” version. FAFSA, residency, applications, and scholarships should all be in 1 place. Perhaps this is something that could be included in later versions.

Works the same as on a computer. However it doesn’t show all the deadlines for each college, just the main ones. I missed a deadline because the program required an early application but common app didn’t say that.

First of all, this is a very useful and helpful app, but when will the new version be released? I’ve been waiting for weeks, but there hasn’t been any new updates, so I can’t apply to university.

This is useless for transfer applications. It prompts me to sign in on the website in my browser but it never redirects me back to the app and it doesn’t acknowledge the sign in. What’s the point of having an app if it just sends me to do my application on the website? Also the […]

I cant understand why this is happening. Please developer contact me […]

Great service, decent app, but if I exit the app for even a second—don’t even have to close it—it logs me out. Every. Single. Time.

simple,clean, and helpful for beginners or out of highschool kids who don’t know exactly how to apply to colleges. this makes it easier and better to track.

This app is so glitchy and keeps taking me to the “this is not the page you wanted” page. After clicking the back button, it’s always hit or miss whether or not my progress will be saved. It’s slow and difficult to navigate. They did waive my app. fees for my applications

This I a great app. I appreciate the developers but I wish it was a little easier to upload documents like official transcripts directly from the app instead of having to do it from Gmail. Also, it keeps going back to the create account page anytime I leave the app for a few seconds. Nevertheless, […]

Although a nice app, I’m unsatisfied with only 20 colleges you can apply to. Why limited applicants to that? I was told to keep us from applying to every school…but if your denied, or need to change schools you can’t do it if you submit application. I think that’s dumb. It’s not like actual paperwork […]

The app glitches and kicks my daughter off right after she has spent loads of time writing essays for college applications. When she logs back in all her hard work has often been erased. VERY FRUSTRATING. This app is supposed to aid in applying for universities/colleges, but has taken tons of extra time re-doing everything […]

Works great but the deadlines should correspond with what’s seen on the school site and the recommendation process should be made easier for recommenders. They should be able to write their letter on the app and not have to write and upload from somewhere else, that’s unnecessary stress. Apart from that, works great so far.

A great app and a great platform. The only issue is the format for adding Accuplacer scores. My scores were not segregated into the categories shown on Common App for the Accuplacer test, so I couldn’t enter my marks. Please update the format or provide more information on how to enter the scores in 2022.
