Navigating through U of T? There’s an app for that

October 3rd, 2009 by Lori

IMG_0051Peter Cen, a fourth year life science student and part-time web developer, was bored one summer. Out of his boredom spawned an iPhone (and iPod Touch) application for U of T students. The free app, called myUT,  has already been downloaded 200 times since its release one month ago.

Here are some of the cool things you can do with it:

- Add schedules and courses
- View updated course information
- Display your weekly timetable
- Find building locations on a map
- Find nearby food and drinks
- Read the U of T News and Events feeds
- Read the Varsity Blues sports feeds
- Quickly access U of T links

Although the course listings available currently only include those from the Faculty of Arts and Science and the Faculty of Engineering, Peter is looking to add others, and has received requests to do so from several grad students.

A demo slideshow is available on the website: http://c-ut.ca/myut. Check it out!
