With easy adding of subjects, automatically created free slots and a simple swipe weekly interface, FreeHour is the go to timetable app for all college and university students.
With FreeHour, students can login, import subjects and invite friends to share their timetable. FreeHour has grown to become the largest hub for students, offering not only a timetable, but also offers, jobs, college maps, stipend countdowns, exam and task tracker, and much more.
Vioside has always been the sole developer for FreeHour and has implemented both the native iOS and Android apps, as well as the whole backend system, database design and infrastructure. This includes all the logic needed in order to store and organise timetables, as well as the algorithms needed to compare friends' timetables and store all database offline on the device.
The app are available for download from the App Store and from Google Play. More information is also available on FreeHour's website.
FreeHour is packed with tons of features! Students can view their friends' timetable and share free slots to meet up on campus. They can also use the timetable completely offline, turn off sharing and manage all their privacy settings. Our system has a custom algorithm to store complex timetables, compare timetables with friends to extract mutual free lessons, and import timetable from college Google Calendars and import friends' timetables.
FreeHour also contains lifestyle features for students, with offers, jobs, campus maps and stipend countdowns, while also providing a way of tracking tasks and assignments, exam countdown and missed lectures. FreeHour also heavily participates in yearly Freshers with a list of stands and offers. All of these features resulted in FreeHour being an award winning app at the MCA Business Awards 2021.

Massive scalability //
FreeHour has grown exponentially but constantly updating their apps with features that suit student's college life. FreeHour expanded their app to allow students to find the venue of their lessons, import timetables, track their tasks, assignments and exams and also added a countdown for their stipend.
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 offers and filter through, find jobs targets to 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 face 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 such heavy loads.
The app are available for download from the App Store and from Google Play. More information is also available on FreeHour's website.
