I feel that there should be a tab that shows the scholarships that you applied for in the app instead of sending them to your email. In application usage I feel is much easier for the user.
Great app but lacking basic functionality

This is a great app! The content and how it is organized is easy to navigate. However, I noticed an issue while trying to return back to a page I was at previously. I have an iPhone X and the back arrow in the bottom left doesn’t always work or has a very delayed response. I’d also like to see swipe functions added. Other than that, this app works great.

Fabulous app! Great source for everything college! Objective, informative, super easy to navigate. Very user friendly. Recommend as the “bible” for anyone looking for school information/data. Relocating? A definite must to research school districts. Love the app! Thank you, Niche!
I love the app so much but

There is a glitch where every few seconds it goes to a previous page without me doing anything. I love this app so much please get rid of the bug and I will change my rating. The bug is really frustrating and I can’t do anything on the app because of it.
Bugs bugs bugs

This is a great app. I love to use it for looking up college information and scholarships. Recently, however, I’ve noticed there is a bug that will automatically reload me back to the home screen. It makes it impossible for me to look at information about a college for more than 30 seconds at a time.
App freezes a lot

I gave this app a 3/5. It takes a pretty long time to start the app, and it also freezes from time to time. Please fix!
Good service but app is worse than the website
felipe_tonello
I really like the services Niche provides however the app is really bad. For instance you can’t use the app in landscape view, which is ridiculous as the website works fine in landscape.
I’ve never seen anything like it!!

This is app is amazing. I’ve been able to find out information about colleges that I’ve never seen on other apps before. It’s so incredibly helpful and I would most definitely recommend it. I’m starting my senior year of high school this upcoming fall, so knowing as much as I could about what college would be best for me is extremely important. This app has showed me so many amazing options that would be beneficial for me when I graduate high school. I’m very impressed with Niche; I really love this app!
Ok

Does not list all of San Diego's neighborhoods. The few that it does list are problematic. "North Park is a neighborhood "Greater North Park"? What?! The East Village and others aren't even listed. There is some good info on San Diego in general, but some a few things are off. Housing and Cost of living are spot on, but Crime and Safety is a bit off. San Diego is consistently listed as one of the safest "big cities" in the country. San Diego has low violent crime. "Generally speaking, San Diego is a fairly safe area. In fact, San Diego boasts a crime rate that is 15 percent lower than the national average. Statistics show that San Diego is safer than 34 percent of all cities in the country."- via Google
