Wildfire - Local Breaking News for Pc

This app is like a Twitter for college students, specifically for your own college that networks students attending that college only. As a freshmen myself, this apps helps me connect to other people and find myself learning from other students. People have been sharing news way to buy textbooks and other resources, and share things on campus that probably not everyone knows about! For example, I never knew that my college was able to have discounted tickets for any movie, just have to show your ID. But this app also help us communicate school safety issues, events and other activities that are needed to be said, to spread the word. Definitely a 10/10 app for students to use. Especially if you want to know everything that happens on campus, and be able to share news as well!

This this app app has been an awesome investment for me. The accessibility to student information and safety warning when WarnMe isn’t working had been a lifesaver! It’s not just an app for student problems but also an avenue of entertainment, so it has been a wonderful experience! One thing that could be worked on is the messaging system in-app. It’s difficult to tell when someone has messaged you and therefore makes communicating hard with other this app users and in the end I had to provide my contact information so that our deal could be carried out and that was a little inconvenient. One more thing, the picture quality was appalling! I had sent photos in-app but the pixelation turns my pictures unintelligible! Over all, this app is great and provides students with may opportunities and fun, but I would love the app even more if the messaging system and photo pixelation was improved!

I would give this app more stars if I could. There was a potential shooter threat at UIC and the only way me and the rest of us students knew about it was through this app. No other professor or faculty knew about it because our administration wasn’t giving us any information, and all the students had written countless posts and updates about it on the app, which led to a majority of us staying away from campus and the potential threat. There ended up not being a shooting but I really feel like the app and the spread of awareness had to do with the entire safety and security of the students. Basically, I felt a hell of a lot safer thanks to the this app app!

I got this app about a week ago and it is pretty fun, especially if you’re in a university. It’s almost like a successor to Yik Yak. From what I’ve seen the people on my campus are quite charming and funny, and it is useful to be alerted on certain issues as soon as they arise (that is, if they aren’t flat out lies). The addition of multiple categories to post to aside from standard alerts really helps you feel more in tune with your campus. There could be some fixes to the app, however. First of all, hiding the dark mode behind an “invite your friends to this app and you get this feature!” Is ridiculous. I could care less about special icons and stickers, but the dark mode shouldn’t be withheld :( Secondly, the app lags quite a bit whenever I make public posts (not replies). This can sometimes get so bad it’ll double over and make a duplicate of my post in the feed, which I then have to delete (which also lags or sometimes doesn’t appear to work). It would be great to see this app move along much faster instead of sitting there watching it chug along and hoping whatever you typed actually gets posted. this app is a good app I’d especially recommend for university-goers. Hopefully the lag and chug will be fixed to make this app even better in the future.
