Don’t waste your time or money with their service center. Absolutely terrible communication. Paid $370 to have a watch repaired. The repair failed after less than a year. Sent the watch ba... See more

Worse company ever to purchase a watch from. They absolutely DO NOT stand behind their warranty. Watch started getting condensation under the face after 2 months of use. They don't honor any warranty... See more

This site is a scam offering free fafsa application then forcing you to pay a fee for them to send it to your school. The option to download and print it off so you can hand deliver it to your school... See more

Citizen makes it very easy to file your FAFSA. The questionnaire easily guides you through your specific student status and tax information. The site even tells you where to look for the data required... See more

Very helpful

I think this application is really helpful. It has a lot of tips that help you fill out your FAFSA without blocking. Also has a very good support for phone platforms, which make it possible to fill out your application over the phone.
I totally recommend this tool to anyone who wants to fill out their FAFSA application.

Time Saver and a Life Saver

If only this tool was around when I needed to fill out my fafsa, I could of saved a bunch of time in research and frustration.

The FAFSA site is too intimidating for first timers and even second timers, I know, I have been through it. However I have also been through Citizen's FAFSA application and let me tell you it was a piece of cake. The questions were formed in a manner that is easy to understand and the application cuts all the fat using its dynamic questionnaire leaving you with more time and more sanity to enjoy your life.

Now I recommend this tool to friends who are going to college

The way it is designed is so simple and easy.... The FAFSA form should not be so difficult, for years we have all waited for a better way and now it is here.
Turbo tax is to Tax filings as Citizen is to FAFSA (Well done)

Thank you

I felt like it was too easy..

I felt like it was too easy... at first. Then when I thought I was all done and went to download my application to print there was an error downloading it. Twice. Then I got three emails that acted like they were available to download. All of them had errors. Then, as I was filling out the application on the fafsa.gov website, I got an email with the complete application.
