Study - a mobile app designed to allow students to meet up with nearby peers studying
similar topics to them, matching students with others to help encourage them to
manage their workloads and time. The app uses GPS location services to pin users on
the map and allow others to view not only where they are, but what subjects they're
studying - thus allowing others to join who wish to focus on the same topics. It's a
social networking site for studying! This app includes features that allow students to
add friends, see the locations of their friends and peers and ‘check-in’ to locations
themselves, view their favourite places to study and favourite people to study with,
track their progress on the calendar and many more.
Study has been developed due to the rise in student pressures and stress uncovered in
the Research Report for this project. With the pressure on university student services
and many students not seeking the help they need, there is a gap in the iOS
application market for a mobile application to tackle the rise in student stress by other
methods. As students rely so much on their phones and the social networking sites
within them, preferring to be constantly contactable by their friends and peers, Study
will utilise this to fulil the need of an application that allows students to arrange to
meet up and study together..
