# Professor Grading Apps GradeBack Allows You to Rate Your Professors By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-01-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rate-your-professor References: [gradeback](http://www.gradeback.com/) & [cloudents](https://www.cloudents.com/account/) Cloudents has developed a new [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/study-solution) and Android app that allows you to rate your professors. GradeBack is designed to put the power in the hands of students. The app uses [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiktoks-campus-verification) data to determine not only what university the user attends, but what professors would be most relevant to them. With an interface similar to [Tinder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-uni), GradeBack allows users to anonymously swipe through a cache of professors and grade them by selecting a preset rating. The app then calculates user's ratings to come to an average score, which will hopefully help students in making crucial decisions about their timetable. Currently, GradeBack boasts an extensive database of over 1.5 million professors who are up for grading. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Professor Rating Apps:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the education technology sector by providing a platform for students to rate and review their professors. - **Personalized Recommendation Systems:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the data analytics field by using social media data to recommend professors based on the user's university and interests. - **Online Education Platforms:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the online learning industry by incorporating professor ratings into course selection and scheduling tools. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Education Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the education technology sector by providing a platform for students to rate and review their professors. - **Data Analytics:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the data analytics field by using social media data to recommend professors based on the user's university and interests. - **Online Learning:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the online learning industry by incorporating professor ratings into course selection and scheduling tools. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile App Discoveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/app-rater.md) - [AI Grading Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gradeassist.md) - [Intelligent Grade Calculators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-grade-calculator.md) - [AI Grade Calculators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grade-calculator.md) - [Study Optimization Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-student.md) - [University-Specific Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-uni.md) - [AI Education Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gradeai.md) - [Social Review Platform Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ping-app.md) - [Social Rating Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-rating-platforms.md)
