Unifi: University Social App 4+

Good for socialising, bad for card

Pretty much it’s a good app to meet people before you start uni but I wouldn’t buy the card. They have a few promoters saying it’s good and to buy the yearly pass before it’s gone so I did for first year of uni. Got little to no discounts and especially not at the places I (or most people) were going to so not even close to worth it in my opinion. Definitely didn’t make my money back and 100% cancelled after I used it. Shouldn’t have bought it for a year but that was on me to be honest.

Developer Response ,

Hi Ary, we’re sorry you didn’t feel like the card was worth it last year. Rest assured it’s far superior this year and we only work with the top rated venues in the cities we are currently live in. Best, Unifi

A pre-ice breaker for university

I was recommended by my friend who is also starting university this year, she downloaded the app in her hopes of finding new friends for the year as covid has stopped us from attending events in person. She found that the app made it very easy for her to make friends from her university and course and is now less anxious about starting university.

I wanted to give it a try as I too was at same place. I downloaded the app and it has helped a lot in me finding new friends from not just my university and course but also including those at my accommodation. I made many new friends and already made plans with them. This app made it so easy to find the people that you are looking for as there are many chats for different categories of people’s likes and interests, many of the courses are included and many more. You can even create your own group chat if you can’t find what you want and there’s also a personal chat to talk to people individually.

The only issue I have with the app is the technical difficulties that occur every now and then. Such as the app freezing and hanging, logging me out of the app for no reason and messages being delayed when sent specifically in the really big group chats.

But overall, I really enjoyed this app and it definitely helped me to become more confident and more excited on starting university.

Perfect for starting university!

I downloaded this app in the hope that I’d find people on my courses and in my accommodation as I was feeling nervous to start university. This app has done exactly that!

After setting up your profile you’re added straight into the group chat for your course and you have the option to join different society group chats as well. So far I’ve found several members of my flat through using this app and hope to find more soon. The one to one chat facilities allow you to have private conversations with other students so that you can get to know others more personally before you arrive, which made me feel more at ease to start.

Couldn’t recommend this app more!
