FreeHour is packed with features developed in-house by Vioside, such as the ability to easily add subjects, create free slots automatically, and a simple weekly swipe interface. It’s the go-to timetable app for college and university students.
Students can log in, import subjects, and invite friends to share their timetable. With its many features, FreeHour has become the largest hub for students. It not only offers a timetable, but also offers, jobs, college maps, stipend countdowns, exam and task trackers, and more.
With FreeHour, students can view their friends’ timetables and share free slots to meet up on campus. They can also use the timetable offline, turn off sharing, and manage all their privacy settings. The custom algorithm stores complex timetables, compares them to friends’ timetables to find mutual free lessons, and imports timetables from college Google Calendars and friends’ timetables.
FreeHour also has lifestyle features for students, such as offers, jobs, campus maps, stipend countdowns, and ways to track tasks, assignments, exam countdowns, and missed lectures. Plus, FreeHour regularly participates in yearly Freshers with a list of stands and offers. All of this led to FreeHour winning an award at the MCA Business Awards 2021.
The apps are available for download from the App Store and Google Play and more information is available on FreeHour’s website.
Vioside has been an integral part of the development of FreeHour since the very beginning and has played a key role in the creation of the native iOS and Android apps, as well as the entire backend system, database design and infrastructure. Not only has Vioside handled the coding and programming of the apps, but they have also been instrumental in developing the overall architecture of the system.
The apps have been custom-built to support the unique design of FreeHour, optimising user experience and guaranteeing superior performance for offline storage and calculations. The backend system was developed to manage all communications and algorithms by FreeHour, enabling it to calculate free lessons across friends and provide them to the users of the apps.

Massive scalability & Features //
FreeHour has grown exponentially, continuously updating their apps with features designed to suit students’ college lives. They have expanded their app to allow students to easily locate the venues of their classes, import timetables, track tasks, assignments, and exams, and even provide a countdown for their stipend. Each feature custom developed with care by Vioside.
To expand even further, FreeHour also took their app outside of college life with lifestyle features. We have developed features for FreeHour that include a way for students to browse through a list of offers and filter through them, find jobs tailored for students, redeem vouchers and freebies from multiple outlets dedicated to students, as well as a feature to browse through a list of events that students may be interested in.
To add to the fun, we have also developed a game for students to win prizes. This includes a full-blown, custom-built, tap challenge game where students need to tap as fast as possible to make their place on a leaderboard in order to win. Given that the prizes are huge, Vioside is also responsible for the scalability of the infrastructure to take heavy loads.
The apps are available for download from the App Store and from Google Play. More information is also available on FreeHour’s website.
