NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SurveyNow has released its 2025 National Athlete App Trust Index, naming NIL Club as the most trusted platform among NCAA athletes nationwide. The index ranks the apps college athletes rely on most and explains why they trust them.
The survey focused on apps athletes use consistently, at least once per week. Each athlete surveyed answered the same question: "How much do you trust this app to deliver on its promise?" Trust was measured using three key components: data privacy, trust reliability, and compliance trust to determine whether the athlete trusts the app's performance, honesty, and reliability.
