Niche Customer Insights

1. Even if you want to keep the focus as-is, to even use the app you need to fill in contact info?! Way off the markIt has been really helpful in my search for colleges, considering I didn't know where to go before installing this app.

2. It has been very informative to learn from actual residents whether a place is racist, left leaning, right leaning, snobbish, lackluster, has no good restaurants, bad roads, bad government, has friendly people, good hospitals and schools, etc.

3. My family was using this app as a tool to help figure out where we'd like to relocate and well we can't do that now because you've shifted your focus to only college students and excluded the rest of us.

4. I found the recommendations extremely helpful in finding what I could be looking for in a college.App used to be good, and then it changed.

5. I am looking to relocate, and rely on the Niche app for honest opinions from people that live in a particular town or city.

6. If you show History, you should also show Classics.I think this is a good app but I think it needs some features/improvements: - why does it take you out of the favorites every time I'm done with one of the profiles.

7. I feel like you could have allowed for us folks who've already attended college or not still use the app! Now it asks for all of this information from you and boots you if you don't give it and won't let you move on without providing it.

8. Maybe could have designed the app to have more of these college/student-focused features be more prominent, but to basically hide the city/town and other familiar features really pushes away what is seemingly a large user base.

9. When looking colleges by majors, it doesn't show the Classics major! Please fix this, since it is offered almost everywhere.

10. You were once able to search for K-12 schools as well as places to live.

11. What a let down.I used to live this app because it gave you neighborhood information like crime stats and schools K-College information.
