Looks Good On Me - Android App Review

Looks Good On Me - Android App Review

Android smartphones and mobile devices have so many uses (we generally refer to them as being mobile offices, mobile communication devices, mobile entertainment centers and security centers) that we tend to forget how new all of this communications and computing revolution is and we sometimes stumble on an app that makes our smartphones even MORE useful.

In fact, android smartphones and mobile devices are so useful because they have instant Internet communications and a LOT of computing power but if you really think of it, we haven't even started scratching the surface of just how useful these devices can be.

Just think of it. Our smartphones give us the ability to instantly communicate with ALL of our friends at once. We can enjoy their opinions, their intelligence and their knowledge and put them to use on our behalf, if only we the right app for the job.

Well, we found the RIGHT app for the job.

Enter Looks Good On Me, an app that helps you leverage all of that friend brain power on your behalf. What this app does is quite simple and it comes to solve a problem that is quite irritating, though not life threatening. 

The app creates a social network of friends and people whose opinions the user appreciates. Then, the app sends a selfi of the user to his or her friends to help him or her decide whether what he or she just tried on is a good fit, and does it look good. The app gathers the votes and comments of the friends and displays them to the user, to help in the buying process.

We gave the app to our reviewers and waited for their remarks.

Our reviewers loved the concept. The idea is quite innovative and the app is very useful as it gathers and distills the opinions of the friends into a clear and simple vote, and the comments. The app also has very useful notifications, that can be sent when entering a clothes store to let the friends know their opinion will be required.

The reviewers loved the interface and the design. The app is very well designed and is not only simple and easy to operate, but also nice to look out which is an important but commonly neglected feature. .

The premium version was also well worth it, as it makes comparing two outfits very easy, and we must not forget that comparing two outfits is really what we need while shopping.

Our reviewers also sent in several tips about using the app.   

First of all, notification. The app allows the user to send a notification to friends when entering a shop, to make them all ready to give their opinions. Our reviewers suggest to wait with the notification till we find two items of apparel to compare, because if we enter a store and find nothing, and our friends sat and waited with their smartphones to give opinions - this will NOT make them happy.

Another tip is to make the time to give opinions to others. If you want others to take the time and effort to give your honest opinions, you must make the time and effort to give as well as you take.

Another tip is to select people that will give you honest opinions, and be able to take in that opinion. If friends say that something is not for you, make the effort to understand why. People want to help, but you must be able to take that help in.

Last but not least tip is to follow the reviews of others to keep abreast of what is trendy NOW. Fashions change like the wind, and the app not only gives you the chance to review clothes on others, it also gives you the chance to see what is trendy today, which is even more important.

• Score: 4.7. A social network for apparel selection.
• Description: An app that allows friends to vote and review a specific apparel selection by the user, telling him or her if it looks good on her or him.
• Good Points: Great idea! Simple to operate and very functional. Great UI design. 
• Bad Points: None that really came to mind. We liked this app.
• Experience: The app is really easy to use. The only snag is that you have to build your friends list for the reviews, but this usually takes mere hours to set up
• Longevity: Everyone who tried it that wants to look good kept this installed. No questions about it.

Movie TV Tech Geeks News by Curt Johnson - Android App Review

Movie TV Tech Geeks News by Curt Johnson - Android App Review

It has been said that with Android smartphones and mobile devices (yeah, with the other kind too ...) the Internet itself, the greatest repository of human knowledge ever, lies right there in your pockets. It is usually added that despite the fact the Internet is right there in your pockets, all people use it for is to watch and share pictures of cats.

In fact, this is not so surprising as one would think, and it is not because cats are cute. In fact, the whole problem lies in the fact that the Internet is largest repository of human knowledge ever. This makes finding the information you would need AND would find interesting so hard as to make it impossible.

Which is why people have resolved to solve that problem and create channels of information for the things we need, which actually mostly condense into several topics. Tech news. Movie and TV news. Sport news and celebrity gossip. Like it or not, this is what we and most people are interested in, with varying degrees of importance. 

The huge site movietvtechgeeks.com is a great solution to our information and interest needs, with dozens of writers and reporters keeping those information channels open to satisfy our info needs. And, to put all of this in a convenient and accessible way right into our pockets, we will review the Movie TV Tech Geeks News app by Curt Johnson.

The app is a magazine displaying news items from the site, categorized into section and prominently displaying news items. The user can select to see the category that interested him or her at the moment and then can see the news items in side, the articles and videos all easily accessible.

We gave the app to our reviewers and waited for their remarks.

First of all comes information management, and our reviewers really liked the way the app categorizes information and makes it easy to go and retrieve it, unlike certain other magazines. Our reviewers also liked the main editor picked news articles as they were almost always fascinating. 

Our reviewers were also VERY impressed with the quality of the articles and news pieces themselves. Our reviewers stated that even on their own fields of specialty (mostly tech but some in sports), the articles were very professional and very accurate, something which is becoming a rare thing these days.

The app's interface is simple and straight forward, allowing reaching the category and articles sought after very easily, even for those who are less tech and smartphone oriented than others. The app arranges the articles and the videos themselves in a way that makes it easy to consume, even on smartphones with smaller screens.

Our reviewers also sent in several tips and tricks.   

First of all, remember the app also works perfectly well on tablets, which means that you can read your science and tech reports on the subway on the way to work, but wait with the sports videos till you reach your tablet.

Another tip is to remember to hit the refresh button, to see if new articles and news items have appeared. 

Yet another thing to remember is to watch the podcasts, which are put online every Mondy, Wednesday and Friday, which are are a must for those wanting to hear the latest news and commentaries from the best sports gurus and celebrity gossip reporters. 

The last tip is to keep digging. The app, though having a simple and very accessible interface still holds a staggering amount of information so the advice is to keep digging to find the hidden gems scattered all over the place. 

Another tiny tip is to get to know the article writers, find the ones you love the most and keep searching for their articles, whether it's sports analyses or new smartphone reviews.

• Score: 4.8. An almost perfect magazine app.
• Description: A magazine app showing movie, tech, TV, sports and celebrities news and articles.
• Good Points: Great material and articles. Simple design that makes reaching info easy. A huge repository of articles, analysis and news.
• Bad Points: Perhaps adding notifications and the ability to follow topics, news and authors.
• Experience: The app was real easy to setup and start using. Everyone found in a very short time the things and topics he or she loved the most.
• Longevity: Since everyone has something that interests him or her that falls under the topics covered by the app, almost no one uninstalled this app.

Simple LED Flashlight Torch - Android App Review

Simple LED Flashlight Torch by Mohatir Bin - Android App Review

Android smartphones are just about the most useful tool you can imagine. Just think of all its sensors and features. It can serve as a magnifying glass, a location finder, a communicator device, a camera, a scanning device and much more. Of course, it can also serve as a flashlight. 

Most if not all (Sony Xperia Z Ultra smartphone being a notable exception) android smartphones come equipped with flash for their camera, to enable them to take pictures at night an at relative darkness. Of course, what flashlight apps do is use the smartphone's camera's flash to turn the mobile device into a flashlight.

But, there are quite a few flashlight apps on google play, so the question should be asked, why did we choose to review Simple LED Flashlight Torch out of all of these apps? 

To answer this question, let's take a quick look at the app itself. The app is simple and quick to operate. When turned on, a cute graphic appears which lets the user turn on and off the flashlight with a touch of a finger. The app also has a widget that can be placed on the smartphone's homepage and it keeps working even when the smartphone is locked.

All of the above are useful features but what did our reviewers have to say about this app? 

Our reviewers liked the app. First and foremost, it is very simple to operate. No complicated setup menus or tiresome feature selection screens. Just install the app and turn the light on. Apparently, in our day and age of increasing complication, simplicity has a lot of fans.

Next, our reviewers liked the graphics, the drawn light bulb. When trying to turn the flashlight on at night or with limited visibility, the app makes it very easy to see what you're doing and turn the light on with just a flick of the finger. Of course, the widget also came in very handy to that same purpose.

Last but not least, our reviewers loved the fact the app keeps working and the flash remains lit even when the smartphone's screen is locked. Many other apps require the smartphone to remain unlocked, and what happens is that inevitably an unwanted touch will turn the flashlight off just when you need it the most. With Simple LED Flash Torch, that's no problem.

Our reviewers sent in several tips and tricks.   

First of all, when you're trying to do something complicated at night, turn the flashlight on and lock the smartphone. The flashlight will remain functioning and there's no chance of a touch turning it off at exactly the wrong time.

Another tip is to remember our elderly people. Simple LED Flashlight Torch is so easy to operate and understand, it is ideal for elderly people, to have a handy flashlight on their person at all times.

Another interesting trick is communication. Since the app is so responsive and easy to operate, there's no problem turning the smarpthone into a light based communications device, sending coded messages through blinking the flashlight in the right sequence.

Last but not least, don't forget to check up on your kids. In other words, when you have to check something in their room but don't want to turn the lights on and wake the little monsters, just flick the smartphone's flashlight on and check what you wanted to check since you already had the smartphone with you. Just don't aim the flashlight at the kids' faces.

• Score: 4.5. A simple app that works really well.
• Description: A flashlight app with cool graphics and a widget.
• Good Points: Very simple to operate. Works even when the screen is locked. 
• Bad Points: A few of our reviewers said they would have liked a slider for amount of light control.
• Experience: Very easy to operate and select. No one had any problem making this app work.
• Longevity: No one who needs flashlight uninstalled this app.

Sweet Jar by ByPost - Android App Review

Sweet Jar by ByPost - Android App Review

To take thing in perspective, we on Android Review Center say that we love our smartphones and mobile devices because of their functionality, and we do get a LOT of functionality from the huge amount and variation of apps on google play. There are apps for everything you've ever thought of and a lot of things your HAVEN"T thought of, but that's just part of the fun. 

The apps can be very broadly defined as apps that help the smartphone become a mobile office, apps for mobile communications, apps for entertainment and last but not least, security and safety apps. But, as much as our engineering instincts want to have everything labeled neatly, there are the special apps, the ones that cannot be so easily categorized, and sometimes these are the best apps of all.

Meet Sweet Jar, an app by ByPost that does a special thing, connecting the real world with our world inside the smartphone. What does it do? Quite simply, the app blows life into jars of sweets on the smartphone's screen and makes them into real things. 

How does the app work? The user gets to select a jar and then he or she must fill it up with up to six variations of candy, from cola bottles to juicy lips, liquorice allsorts, gummy bears, fizzy vampire teeth and much more. Then, the user must pay real money (£6) and then the real jar with the selections of candy the user made appear on his or her doorstep in a few days.

So, what did the reviewers had to say about the app? 

Our reviewers liked the app a lot, even those who don't usually consume that much candy. The screens and graphics are really colorful and visually appealing, making it a joy to just browse through the options and see all Sweet Jar has to offer. This also makes working with the app very simple and intuitive, with no chance of mistakes.

Our reviewers also commented on the sheer variety of candy to select, citing hundreds of candy types, some mysterious and unknown but all intriguing with good pictures. Whatever candy type you like, our reviewers say you'll find it within Sweet Jar.

Last but not least, our reviewers reported that there was no hitch in the payment and the real world jar deliverance. The jars arrived before schedule on almost all occasions and they were wrapped so well that no one broke or was otherwise damaged by its journey. AND, people got exactly what they ordered, which means the app does exactly what it is supposed to.

Our reviewers sent in several tips and tricks. Now, reviewers commented that the candy jars made perfect presents to give when visiting or as prices, so the app is useful even if you DON'T like candy. Another trick is to select less than six types of candy if you know and want a specific kind.

Another tips is to be brave and select unknown types of candy. Live dangerously ... Some guys said that the jars make excellent gifts for the fair gender, even going so far to order the jars straight to the hotel room when going on vacation and making it wait there for the couple's arrival. This always got very positive reactions!

For the parents among us, our reviewers said the jars present perfect school and class party refreshment and even if you want to gift your kid with one, selecting candy types for jars is very easy and avoid temptations encountered when going to the mall ...

The app doesn't use paypal, only credit and debit cards which make it a little safer for our money and the price in general is not high, so reviewers recommended ordering jars in advance and just keeping them at home for when candy will be needed for guests or kids.

Sweet Jar is a great app, colorful and easy to use and the physical world component works really well.

• Score: 4.8. A beautiful app that works really well.
• Description: A candy selection app, that delivers real candy jars according to your picks.
• Good Points: Nice design and graphics. Great concept. Good packaging for the jars to avoid mishaps. Huge variety of sweets to select.
• Bad Points: Perhaps making a future update where with things that are a little healthier, like crackers, dark chocolate, nuts etc.
• Experience: Very easy to operate and select. No one had any problem making this app work.
• Longevity: Even for people who don't like sweets, this app and its sweet jars have quite a lot of uses.

Honey Heroes - Android App Review

Honey Heroes by Game Gurus - Android App Review

Today, the amount of games available for Android smartphones and mobile devices is truly staggering. There are literally millions of games from all types and genres, just waiting for you to download. So, the problem becomes not one of finding a good game but selecting from the multitude a game that is right for you and your needs.

Google play games for Android can be broadly divided into several types. Strategy games, simulators, arcade and action games. Of course, a very important type is puzzle and the various mind games. This review is of a puzzle game called Honey Heroes by Game Gurus. 

Honey Heroes is a puzzle game with several twists. First of all, it is very graphic intensive in contrast to most other puzzle games. In addition, the game is not a standard match 3 puzzle game but each level presents different puzzles and different requirements for finding a solution. A last difference is the fact that this game is VERY professional in its concept, design and implementation.

We've sent the game, like we always, do to our small horse of reviewers and sat back and waited for their input. One of the advantages of puzzle games that is represented well in Honey Heroes is that the game appeals to reviewers of all ages, professions and aptitudes. 

So, what did the reviewers say? 

First of all, most if not all the reviewers commented about the design and visual appeal of Honey Heroes. Like we wrote earlier, our reviewers were very impressed with the graphics and professionalism of the user interface and the visuals of the game, from the animation to the menus to the design of the characters themselves.

The game itself is both challenging and interesting. The various puzzle types are all different and require thought and concentration of the part of the players. The variety itself is very refreshing as playing through dozens of levels remains interesting and challenging, which is something not all puzzle games succeed in doing.

Our reviewers also liked the variety of characters and different heroes in the game, as the players play with bees, butterflies, dragonflies and more, all done beautifully with exquisite detail. Another thing our reviewers liked was the way the game is almost self explanatory. A new player can just start playing the game, without the need for long help documents and sessions. 

Our reviewers sent several tips. The most important of all is about the game and kids. The game is very suitable to kids, with cute characters, no violence and is actually beneficial as it makes them work the muscles in their head and like it at the same time!

Another thing our reviewers pointed out is about the puzzles and the powerups. Even though the powerups are important, it is best to save them for the harder levels where you'll really need them. Last but not least tip is to survey the puzzle carefully before starting to solve it, even though time is of the essence when solving the puzzles in the game. 

Android Review Center's conclusion is that Honey Heroes is one of the best puzzle game we and our reviewers saw. Beautifully designed, challenging and constantly intriguing and interesting, Honey Heroes is a puzzle game suitable to all ages.

• Score: 4.8. A well designed and interesting puzzle game.
• Description: A puzzle game with different puzzles, centered around honey and cute insets.
• Good Points: Different and original puzzles. Great design, animation and menus. suitable to all ages. Can be played from different devices and even PC with the same account.
• Bad Points: Couldn't really find one. Perhaps making it a little less cute would have appealed more to teen age boys.
• Experience: The game is very easy to play, as it is almost self explanatory.
• Longevity: As there are dozens of levels and puzzles and the game can be played from different devices, people will keep playing this game for long.

blabel by Vetrya - Android App Review

blabel by Vetrya - Android App Review

Since the old days of ICQ and the advent of the android smartphone (yeah, yeah. the other kind too) instant messenger and online chatting has become one of the most important and popular apps in use everywhere and by everyone. In fact, a lot of people now use chatting and messaging more than they use old fashioned talking. 

Why is that? Well, there are several reasons and most of them revolve around the way people think and behave in the 21st century. First of all, we don't have as much free time as we used to. Everyone is hurrying to class, to work, to gym, to Thursday's night poker game. Everyone is busy, and instant messaging is the perfect solution to sending short message without the hassle of a long conversion.

There are more reasons why messenger apps are so popular, one of them being groups. The ability to send and receive messages from a group really revolutionized the way people communicate, as now creating a group, communicating with it and sharing stuff has become the normal way to communicate.

Last but not least is the ability to share stuff aside from messages. Today, most messenger apps will allow us to share pics, videos, songs and almost everything else. In effect, this means we can now share not only messages and texts, but we can now actually share moments and pieces of our lives.

But, since there are so many messenger apps, the questions begs to be asked, which is the best one ? Which one should we use?

Well, a very good candidate to answer that question is blabel, by Vetrya studios. 

We made our small army of reviewers download the app and start using it, and then we just waited for their opinions and remarks.

First of all, and something that came from the vast majority of reviewers, was the design. Apparently the design has been made in Italy and it shows. Everything in the interface is soothing and pleasant, from the colors to the shape of the buttons to the different background the user can select. Everything gives a very pleasant feeling when using blabel, which is something quite unique among other messenger apps. 

In addition, our younger reviewers especially loves the song searching and private messaging features with self destruct messages though we didn't ask what exactly they did with them ... Our older (and more serious minded reviewers) loved the way locations can be shared among people and groups.

Our reviewers who fell between those two groups loved the way people can use the app with the same account on several devices and even on the web. This opened a whole new world to those who could use the app comfortably even while at work and even when they switched devices, from tablet to smartphone to laptop.

Tips our reviewers sent were mostly about use and functionality. Switching and upgrading devices with blabel is MUCH easier than with other messenger services, just remember to format your old device so people won't be able to hack your account. Pokes are also a great feature our reviewers loved, though when using them for the first time with someone, make sure they understand what exactly they are.

So sum things app, blabel is an exciting new messenger app with security, encryption, self destructing messages, locations and media searching features, in addition to poke functionality. In other words, it can do everything other messenger apps can do, and then some, and everything in blabel is also beautifully designed. 

• Score: 4.7. A beautiful messenger app with tons of features.
• Description: A messenger app with security, self destructing messages, location and media sharing, chatting and group management.
• Good Points: Self destructing messages. Pokes. Media and location searching and sharing. Beautiful design. 
• Bad Points: None really. As a new messenger app, not everyone has it installed yet. 
• Experience: The app is very easy to use and no one had any trouble starting to work with it. The multifunction main button took some getting used to.
• Longevity: People installed this app for good, as even migrating from smartphone to smartphone became SO easy with blabel.

Keep Inside - Android App Review

Keep Inside by Emre Rothzerg - Android App Review

Games come in many types and flavors but they can be broadly divided into two types, complex and simple ones. Complex games require a lot of preparation, time and energy while simple games just require that the user whips out his or her smartphone and start tapping away.

Every game type has its own advantages and benefits. Complex games really allow the user to submerge himself or herself into a vast world, whether it is a strategic or simulation game while the simple game allows the user to relax whenever he or she have a few moments to spare. Of course, both game types have their own merits and fans, and people can love both types of games.

Keep inside is a good example of a simple game. Just a reminder, simple does not mean easy ... The goal in Keep Inside is to keep a dot or a ball inside the large circle and the user has two simple controls to move a section of the circle to prevent the ball from leaving the circle. Sounds simple? It is. 

So, let's see what our reviewers had to say about Keep Inside.

Fist of all, our reviewers enjoyed playing with a game that was simple, that doesn't require weeks to learn to use all the different options, and powerups and upgrades. With Keep Inside, you launch the game and start playing. You learn to play it in five minutes.

Our reviewers also commented about the difficulty curve, saying it was just right. The game starts out easy and gradually becomes more difficult, allowing the player to gradually get accustomed and hone his or her reflexes before he or she really have to start working.

Another thing the vast majority of out users enjoyed very much was the graphics and UI. Keeping it simple, the studio that made Keep Inside made the game very easy to operate and made sure the graphics were both high quality and simple, creating a game that was ideal for a few moments of relaxation without having to encounter anything complex.

Our reviewers had several tips for players. First of all, plan ahead, think not only where the ball will be when it bounces off the 'bat' but where it's going and be there with the 'bat' before it arrives. Planning ahead is the only way to win.

Another thing our reviewers recommended was concentration. The game really is a game of concentration, so make sure you can concentrate on the game while playing. Of course, trying to keep your concentration while in a distraction rich environment is also a great exercise, just be aware that it will detract from your score. 

Last but not least was the tip to try to play it on a tablet or large screen mobile device, to see exactly how the game and the ball behaves there. 'Training' on a large screen device might completely change the way you play on a regular sized screen display.

• Score: 4.6. A good solid game and a great example for a simple, high quality app.
• Description: A game where the user must keep a ball inside a circle by using a 'bat' to keep it inside.
• Good Points: Very simple game and design. Very addictive. Launches and plays really fast. 
• Bad Points: We would have liked to have more shapes and scenarios in future game updates.
• Experience: All reviewers enjoyed the game and none had any problem understanding how to play and how to win.
• Longevity: People who loved the simple concept and who need a three minute break now and then kept this game installed for a long time.

Good.Co: Workplace Culture Fit - Android App Review

Good.Co: Workplace Culture Fit - Android App Review

We, at Android Review Center, love apps that are original and if possible, apps that really make our lives better. Android Smartphones have the potential to transform our lives and we constantly try to find the apps (and games, to a lesser extent) that take a step in that direction.

One of the most important things in an adult's life is his or her job. A good job will insure we earn enough money to have the lifestyle we are interested in and a good job with good working conditions will let us enjoy it, which is more important than it seems, because a job we love is a job that doesn't make us sad or gloomy and doesn't cast a shadow over our lives.

But a good job is one that we enjoy going to, a job that makes us jump out of bed each morning and not pull the blanket over out heads .... A large part of that is corporate life, the people and activities that surround the job, as well as what we actually do at the job. In fact, there has never been an app or a service that can help us choose the job with the corporate life for us.
Until now.

Enter Good.Co Workplace Culture Fit, an app that tries to do just that, find the workplace that we will like the most.

Our reviewers took the app with a grain of salt, as the task the app has taken upon itself to fulfil is quite daunting. Nevertheless, our reviewers, only working adults this time, launched themselves into the app and their reports started flowing it.

First of all came the quizzes. The app will find the right place for you to work only if it gets to know you, and the app learns its user by putting him or her through quite a long quiz. Even though the quiz wasn't short, none of our reviewers complained because the questions were quite interesting and everyone understood that the answers determine the quality of company matches the app will provide.

The app also takes a look at the user's LinkedIn network, all to get to know the user better.

The results the app gave were quite interesting for several reasons. First of all, some reviewers really got to thinking about the career choices when the app presented them with companies they never thought were for them. In addition, some of the insights the app offered were interesting enough and sometimes even prompted change in the reviewer's job without leaving for another workplace.

Last but certainly not least, the app also has a social networking function which is just as important because it helps the user find like minded people that already work in the same workplace, sometimes without the user even knowing about them. Creating new connections with nearby people who share some of the same views of things is quite important.

All in all, the app is really easy to use, with professional simple menus and workflow that are easy enough for everyone to use, even older people who sometimes have trouble with more complicated app UI. 

The tips our reviewers gave were quite simple. Answer the quiz as accurately as possible, even taking a moment to consider now and then. Look at the app's workplace suggestions and think why it offered you them. It might cause you to change things in your job and the way you do things without leaving your current job. Last, don't neglect the social network component and go talk to people the app suggested might be thinking the same about many subjects. You can meet some great people that way.

• Score: 4.8. The app tackles a daunting task and does it beautifully.
• Description: An app that makes you answer a quiz and then offers jobs and companies that might be suitable for you, and people that share the same opinions.
• Good Points: Simple and professional interface with very clear workflows. A quiz that is not too long yet quite comprehensive. Good results from the app. 
• Bad Points: We would have liked the social networking component enlarged, perhaps creating a network for workplaces.
• Experience: All reviewers started to work with the app almost immediately without a hitch. The results the app gave were quite interesting, prompting thought and consideration by those receiving them.
• Longevity: People liked to keep the app installed because it gives interesting insights about yourselves and doing the quiz every few months can give a good indication about your satisfaction from your job.

4 Year Trip - Android App Review

4 Year Trip by Droiple - Android App Review

When you think about the major milestones of your life, one of the most important ones is selecting the right college or university. Getting good education and learning the right profession is makes the difference between many ways of life, not only earning enough money but choosing HOW we earn our money.

But selecting a college or university is not that simple, as any who has ever attended one knows. Judging a higher education school only by its credentials is not enough. You must select the college or university you need not only according to its credentials but according to student life in the establishment as well.

Why does student life become a factor in the selection process of a college or university? Because making connections is an important step in developing careers and group learning, student groups and the student life in general play an important part of how well one can really study in a college, as well as have fun (which is really also important for learning).

4 Year Trip is an app that is supposed to do just that, help us select the best college for us for our higher education and help us keep abreast of important information during studies.

We gave the app for reviewing for those of our team that are actually studying in colleges and universities, as well as those that are about to learn there AND those that graduated not long ago, in order to get as many opinions as possible.

First off all, the app really does contain a lot of info on a lot of schools. Credentials, pictures, contact info, website links are just part of the data the app presents about each school. Of course, the most important thing is the user reviewers and opinions of the schools from people who actually study there.

Another thing all of our reviewers liked was the wealth of information presented about student life, from fairs to events and even things like scholarships and 'how to do' instructions, from enrolling to changing courses.

The main tip our reviewers gave about this app is about continuous use. More information about additional schools is added all the time, on a daily basis, so checking in daily will insure you don't miss anything people add. 

In addition, the app makers (studio Droiple) reward people for checking in, posting and adding info and reviews, so doing that will help others AND insure you get some nifty prizes.

Keep in mind that the app also serves as a great billboard for special school offers and special offers from businesses to students, so like we said earlier, the usefulness of this app does not end after enrolling. 

4 Year Tip is the tool every student needs, dispensing information, pics and reviews about colleges and universities, as well as information that every student will need AFTER enrolling, such as fair, scholarships, special offers, study groups and much more.

• Score: 4.6. All the relevant college and university data in one app.
• Description: An info dispensing app about higher education schools, from reviews to pictures to scholarship information to special offers to fair information.
• Good Points: A huge depository of data. Reward system for posting information. Easy access for every piece of data. Slick and professional design.
• Bad Points: We would have liked the app to be expanded to include high school data AND workplace information data, for the things which precede and follow higher education ...
• Experience: Everyone started using the app easily and without a hitch. The easy to use interface made finding data a quick process. Posting took a little more time but the rewards made it worth our reviewers' time.
• Longevity: All those who went through colleges or were about to enter a college kept the app installed as it is a great college and student life data repository.
