Gaining Momentum

UniStudents is a highly successful utility app within the Greek higher education market, with verifiable traction of 200,000+ registered students (approx. 50% of the total addressable market in Greece). The project has received Google Play awards and maintains high user ratings (4.8/5). Despite the high real-world value and strong adoption, the submission quality was poor (lazy input fields, invalid email format), which heavily impacted the Response Quality score. The project fits the 'Small but promising' calibration bucket (100-250).
