University timetable: they made an “Alarm Clock” in front of couples and an online form to fill in the schedule
We work in the company "University Schedule" , we make mobile applications (iOS, Android, Windows Phone), which publishes the training schedule of students and teachers.
In early February, we did a survey on Habré : what features should we do and whether it should be done at all.
We collected 200 answers, the results were as follows (the first 4 places in the order of popularity):
')
We did not include “The ability to edit and share our schedule” in the survey, because we have been working on it for a long time. We thought it would be fast, it turned out, as always. But it is already on the way.
In the intervals between this, we managed to release a simple, but as it seems to us, useless feature “Alarm Clock”.
Alarm clock
The peculiarity of our alarm clock in comparison with the usual one is that he himself knows when a student has the first couple and can be set how many hours before the first couple to wake up. In addition, you can set another alarm clock in front of each pair, setting how many minutes before the pair to remind.
Online form to fill the schedule
Previously, in order to publish our schedule in our application, we had to either unload us from the database in JSON format, or interrupt manually into an Excel file using our template and instructions. Such many frightened, as it seems to us. We made an online form so that you can fill it out right on the site. This form itself forms us JSON, which we import into our database. It is clear that the form can still be optimized for a long time, and we will be grateful to our users for feedback on it.
Functional for teachers
We noticed that not only students use our application, but also some teachers, so we wanted to think in this direction too. In particular, what functionality do teachers need in a mobile application with a schedule? We made for this survey questionnaire. If you have a familiar teacher (it doesn't matter if he uses our application or not), then give him a link to our profile:
