The UWE Bristol app has had a glow-up, with a fresh look, improved functionality and new features to help you navigate university life.
It’s not just about aesthetics (though its new look is *chef’s kiss emoji) – the new app has a whole range of improved features from enhanced accessibility – ensuring it is usable for everyone – to improved wayfinding – the app now fully incorporates the UWE Navigator platform to help you find specific rooms, on specific floors, at any of our campuses.
The app now has geolocation features, which means it will automatically change depending on which campus you’re on. This means you’ll only get information that’s relevant to you, and where you’re studying. If you move between campuses, it will automatically change to show you what events are happening on site, opening hours for catering outlets, and campus maps to help you make your way around whilst you’re there.
If you’re a brand geek like us, you’ll notice the updated aesthetic aligns with our other digital platforms, such as MYUWE. So you can see how we’re working to make sure you’re well-supported throughout your student journey.
Improvements to the app have been made in response to your feedback. Our UX team met with students from across our campuses in focus groups and ran surveys, to make sure your thoughts and opinions were heard.
We know the app had become a bit, shall we say, stale..? And essentially just signposted you to the stuff you needed to know rather than providing a seamless, more useful experience. We hope you’ll now agree it’s looking and performing much better.
To see the new app, simply update the app in your App Store.
