College Pulse 17+

Fun and Interesting

Many college students avoid each other and deep conversations enough that they don’t even know what most of the population of students on their campus are thinking. This app deletes that and replaces it with insight into the minds of others around our age with sometimes fun and/or startling quizzes and surveys. It’s definitely kind of addicting because you just keep wondering how different you are from the rest of your community. But also, you get stuff for doing it which adds a whole other level of interest! I’m glad I got an email about this app. It’s definitely worth it if you’re as curious about other humans as I am.

I'm glad you love Pulse!

Not too bad

It’s a pretty nice app overall, but the new update hurt it a bit. Before, you could scroll through countless old surveys and just answer them all. But now they removed all those so you can only see what they post every couple of hours. The real prizes they offer cost a ton of points, and they surveys they post on a daily basis usually only get you 10 points. Not being able to go through all the old surveys really hurts your chances of ever getting a prize that you actually care about. They do have streaks, but as you can imagine it takes a while to get any meaningful points out of them. The surveys themselves are usually pretty fun or interesting, there just aren’t very many of them you can do in a day now. The graphs that they use sometimes to display data are extremely weird and can be tough to read. Overall, not a bad app, but they shot themselves in the foot a little bit with the newest update.

PS: please bring back Yik Yak. This app’s comments are basically the same thing, so if you could bring that back I would appreciate it. I miss Yik Yak so much.

Sup Hashbrown–The new update shouldn't have affected your ability to look through past surveys. Email jake@collegepulse.com and we can look into it for you!

Also we are about to release a new version to improve the "extremely weird" charts and graphs. Let us know what you think!

You fooled us

I was referred to this app by a college buddy about 6 months ago. The goal was to win some amazing headphones, an iphoneX or even the $2500 reward! I’ve never lost my streak and have been consistent with answering the question everyday. I was very close to reaching the amount of points required when suddenly they removed all the cool prizes and replaced them with stupid raffles. No warning. These raffles treat people who’ve been here for 6 months the same as someone who’s been here for 1 day. Then on top of that they reduced the raffle prize money from $100->$20. Your chance of winning is less than 1% unless you waste your points buying a ton of tickets... They lured many in with amazing prizes and then took the prizes away and replaced them with garbage. Bait and switch. The saddest part is I can’t stop because I have so many points accumulated. I hope they bring back the worth while prizes because I refuse to spend them on a raffle gamble. It’s upsetting. It feels like a betrayal.
