No Professors Allowed: New App Offers Student-Exclusive Platform

By Megan (Weyrauch) Johnson on October 3, 2016

Have you been searching for a place to freely share your opinions and truths with your campus community without the fear of employers, parents or other admin monitoring your every word? Check out Tapt!

An exclusive campus app that allows students to create memes, videos and other content to share with their campus as their real profile or anonymously, Tapt recently finished 60 days of beta testing in three New York City colleges, according to a recent press release.

The Tapt team decided to expand the app to 30 new campuses after 9.1 million impressions. Tapt offers an exclusive campus feed that allows students to use their voice (publicly or anonymously) to talk to their campus — no parents, professors or employers allowed. This app allows you to meet students from your campus or around the world.

Who discovered Tapt? Co-founder and college senior Andrew Boryk finished his class and noticed no one stuck around campus, prompting him to build Tapt in January 2016 due to the lack of school spirit he observed.

To join Tapt, simply use your .edu email. This provides users with a verified community, banning all of school personnel to allow users to feel comfortable when posting to their campus feeds. This gives students like you a place to yourself, where you can message anyone from campus unless otherwise blocked.

Tapt encourages students to meet new people and do interesting things on campus beyond their freshman year. To achieve this, Tapt includes a global section with trending topics from all colleges, connecting students cross-campus.
