CircleIn- Circle in Daily

i love this app!! all of the participation i did got me a gift card at the end of the semester :)

I loved this app! But then, I was never notified that my school would be no longer using Circle In. I had been saving up my points, and had up to $55 worth of gift cards to redeem. The app had logged me out but I was able to log back in on my computer, and I submitted a request to redeem a gift card. They denied my request because my school was no longer participating with the app. It was horrible to do this to a student who had been utilizing the app so consistently. I was never notified.

After spending a few years studying on the app, I was still having a great time connecting with classmates and earning money when Poof! Two weeks into the semester, my account was deleted with no warning. When I emailed to ask what was going on, I was told my school was no longer partnering with CircleIn. When I asked if I could at least redeem the $71 in rewards points I had saved up, I was told all my data was deleted and this wasn’t possible. Word of advice: don’t take your points for granted because they could all be gone tomorrow. No warning.

Messages tab doesn't even open half the time, and i have to reset the app. The rest of the UI is very laggy, as is any on-screen animations.

I think the app is very awesome you study from it and you can actually keep your resources so you look back what you have to do. It’s like a notebook if you go to your classes and you got homework you can label it and save it to check progress and your actually getting points by studying which is very motivating to some people and I have improved my grades a lot by using circle in I would highly recommend this all guys if your in college trust me you won’t regret it

This app has been extremely helpful for me. Being able to talk to other students in my school, join chats, post notes, read other people’s flash cards and being able to study with them has helped me a lot in my journey as a student. On top of all that, you make REAL money as you participate in the chat. As a college student, that is a BIG PLUS.

I love how you can text other people on the App that’s from your school and you can do a video call for you to do a study call and the more you do the quest and other things on the App you get points and the more you get you can redeem it for a gift card!!

My biggest gripe is while the interface is smooth and simple, it is not intuitive for the actions you have to use this app for. I understand trying to replicate the success of platforms of discord, but the study rooms are only one function of many, so why is the *entire* app designed this way. It is even worse on desktop. The planner function is what I needed the most but it’s an an afterthought at best. The details can only be added after creating the task. Why not make it so you can click add task and do everything right away? It asks you to select which class it’s for which is nice but then you can’t even filter planner items by class which is important when you have a lot to do and are trying to make sure you have completed all the work for a class without logging into canvas and scrolling through screens and modules (the entire point of having a planner). You have to manually sort into overdue, upcoming, and done which is supremely annoying. Considering I put in the due date it should be able to auto sort. Also everytime I move an item on mobile the app crashes. Why can you only look at the board view of the planner on mobile anyway? I also hate how you can only access the planner through the create or plus icon. It should be put in a location like a home tab or dashboard but instead the home tab is pointless quests. If you want people to use this app for the utility then make that the priority. Planners, notes, pinned posts and comments, and announcements. But there is no central location for these things which all occupy separate tabs. Good thing I can easily view my quest progress with one click, right? The course feedback section does not work across devices and my planner crashes on mobile from simple tasks. This app is another case of form over function

This app is nothing short of awesome! There’s a multitude of resources that you can use to study for your classes, all while getting rewarded! It sounds too good to be true.. but it’s not! If you’re someone like me who struggles to dedicate time to studying, then you’ll be pleased to know that this app will help you stay on track!
