Needs lot of improvement. But it is ok
Pros: Able to communicate with other students easily. Lot of relevant ads posted.
Cons: I don't like the structure of the app. It is very confusing.

Pros: It is nice to get real time updates on things happening around campus. It is fun to hear from other students
Cons: Some glitches and it was strange at first but it has gotten better
Dillon M. · Student · Education Management · July 10, 2023
Pros: I like seeing other classmates posts and polls to vote for things going on in campus or the community.
Cons: I don’t like the weird advertising for job opportunities and internships it seems untrustworthy.

Overall it has helped me stay connected around campus

Mikayla W. · N/A · Fine Art · June 28, 2023
Pretty great app!
Pros: Love this app for communication throughout college making it appropriate.
Cons: I didn’t like that it was filtered in some options.
Milena P. · Studwnt · Design · June 28, 2023
Mediocre at best
Pros: Honestly, not very much about this app was appealing or easy to use
Cons: Not user friendly, interface is confusing. Any 'updates' made to solve issues that users complained about only heightened the issues and/or brought more.
Kristin M. · Student · Higher Education · June 28, 2023
Pros: It helps students learn what occurs on campus!! And it offered fun deals!
Cons: The lack of it being aesthetic and user-friendly. Oh it would also be awesome if we could have our schools menu on it and basically use this as a connection to our schools website/have our own app
Samantha B. · Student · Higher Education · June 27, 2023
Pros: Ability to see what is going on on Campus
Cons: Notifications i click on do no always take me to where its at. Example, I click on a notification for sports and it brings me to the main page where I cannot find it.
Peyton B. · Student · Education Management · June 26, 2023
Pros: The best thing about Abuzz is the deals section. It gives you information about different deals on campus or in the area and it allows you to save money as a broke college student.
Cons: The only thing about Abuzz that I’m not a fan of at all is how much the campus representatives post. Sometimes getting 100 notifications from the same person is annoying and it only drains my battery instead of serving any benefit to me
Sydney C. · Student · Education Management · June 26, 2023
Pros: You can use it to communicate with the campus if you know how to use it
Cons: All of it. It doesn’t make since no one uses it and it’s designed poorly
Audrey G. · Student · Higher Education · June 26, 2023
It’s good, I like it.
Pros: How easy it was to see events on campus.
Cons: I wished the search for people nearby your hometown was better.
Arianna M. · None · Arts and Crafts · June 26, 2023
Pros: Easy to navigate, deals listings for students very useful.
Cons: There was no way for the campus wide chat to be monitored or regulated, which led to some posts that should not have been allowed to be broadcast to the whole campus.
Liz H. · Student · Architecture & Planning · June 26, 2023
Pros: Having one app to locate information about things happening on campus is a great idea
Cons: The app is supercluttered, that interface is not user friendly, and the app is terribly optimized which causes the app to become clunky or cease to function entirely even on recent phones
Jacob K. · Student · Education Management · June 26, 2023
Very useful
Pros: I was able to connect with other students on campus
Cons: I cannot thing of anythings that I like the least about Abuzz
Cooper B. · Student · Education Management · June 26, 2023
It was a decent experience, I've used a lot worse apps to organize groups and convey meetings
Pros: Easy to get used to using and nice to have on the phone you're constantly on anyways.
Cons: Chat features were annoying because they were given to college kids who want to annoy everyone else on the app.
Sara F. · Student · Professional Training & Coaching · June 26, 2023
Serves its purpose. I think it works well as a school wide app and helps with getting students to do things and with giving them information
Pros: Features like the deals and it’s ability to show activities/things going on that I likely wouldn’t see.
Cons: Not being able to remove myself from campus chat groups. I don’t want to be in them and it can be annoying to get notifications from them. I’d prefer to just remove myself from the group
Stephen S. · Student · Higher Education · June 26, 2023
Pros: I could speak to other students around campus very easily.
Cons: I dont have many complaints at all! The features are fairly established.
Mariama S. · Architect · Architecture & Planning · June 26, 2023
Pros: I like that I can communicate with everyone that is in my community at just a click of a button
Cons: The amount of pages I have to go through to get places I need to get to
Jaelynn H. · Student · Hospital & Health Care · June 25, 2023
Abuzz is a very good product for communicating different things amongst a large amount of people. I used it to get insight on different events and other things happening on my campus.
Pros: Personally i liked being able to discuss events and other things happening on campus with other app users the most.
Cons: People tended to use abuzz for small things and i would end up getting a lot of unnecessary notifications and such.
Bradley W. · Student · Higher Education · June 23, 2023
Pros: My favorite part about Abuzz is the groups, I like that as a student I can join the Computer Science major's group as well as the overall campus group.
Cons: For me personally, I was having issues with the interface. For example, I wanted to upload a video, but there isn't any indication that I can upload a video and it took me far to long to figure it out.
Katherine T. · Student · Education Management · June 22, 2023
Pros: I like that Abuzz shows what events are occuring near year.
Cons: The notification features were slightly annoying for some of the different chats that have a lot of people in them.
Shelbea F. · Area Supervisor for Event Operations · Entertainment · June 22, 2023
I really enjoy it
Pros: It gets you in touch with other students
Cons: A lot of the information sent was sent in an email also by the school.
Marcia V. · N/a · Consumer Electronics · June 22, 2023
Overall for my first year in higher education, I loved having an app I could go to view daily activities, group chats, and having it all there at your fingertips and not on seperate apps is great.
Pros: The features about abuzz that I appreciate most is the apps ability to connect a campus full of students who are on many different wavelengths and combines it all seamlessly into an app.
Cons: Some of the notifications for large groupchats are off from the time of the message to the notifications. I missed quite q lot.
Benjamin W. · Student · Higher Education · June 22, 2023
Pros: The community is a fun and friendly environment
Cons: Sometimes it can be tricky to figure out and a little hard to work but once you get the hang of it’s pretty easy
Jenna T. · Physical therapist · Education Management · June 22, 2023
Pros: I like that I can reach out to other students on things happening around campus and help people when they may need help.
Cons: Sometimes it’s a little hard to navigate where to get to places that I receive notifications for.
