Hi Tom! Just to clarify, the app was built in-house by Ohio State’s app development team and is fully owned by the university. When the features of the app integrate into the Ohio State app (ideal due to the high number of regular users of that app) they will be designed to work for Android devices as well.

Apple’s role was to guide us (students, experts, Ohio State app developers) through three days of design thinking around developing an app to contribute to improved university experiences. From there we took the concept developed by the Ohio State experts and students and the team here at Ohio State builds it, owns it, manages it. It’s a very cool process that we had access to because of the Digital Flagship program’s work with Apple. Happy to share more if interested!
