We are pleased to announce the release of the new version of iNorthampton<\/a>, currently available in the App and Play Stores. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This release has addressed some of the feedback that we received about the app from staff and students, as well as it being built on a new development platform behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

For those that have noticed that the old version hasn\u2019t been updated for a while, this is the reason why \u2013 we\u2019ve had to build it from scratch and re-visit the ways in which the data is pulled in from various institutional systems, which took much longer than anticipated.<\/p>\n

So, the functionality remains similar to the previous version but with lots of new content. There are new Videos and Photos and updated locations and details in Maps like opening times and descriptions of shops and eateries on campus. As well as a new map of Northampton which contains points of local amenities like pharmacies and nightlife. Don’t forget that you can still use Augmented Reality on iPhone within the campus Maps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We have added the Tours feature, which will take you around both campuses allowing you to move around areas and buildings.<\/p>\n

We are still working on the dedicated iPad version, which will make more use of the larger screen size of the iPad to give users a more scaled experience of the app and its features. We hope to go live with this over the next few months. In the meantime if you want to get iNorthampton on your iPad you can download the iPhone version by searching the App Store and choosing to search for iPhone rather than iPad apps.<\/p>\n

We now plan to move forward with developing more features and functionality within the app. The library tool was the most requested feature for improvements, and the Library and Learning Services department are currently reviewing the Library Management System. The ability to renew books and check their account on mobile will be included in the new system and we will hopefully be able to make that available through iNorthampton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
