Enhancing the Student Living Experience.

True Student offers premium student accommodation, and it is a full student experience as well as a place to stay. With expansion plans and a focus on technology-driven convenience, True Student wanted a dedicated mobile app to act as a central hub where students manage their living experience.

The key challenges were:

• Integration with the existing website’s API, so students could reach key information from one platform.
• Providing up-to-date alerts and personalised notifications for events, bookings and important updates.
• Allowing facility bookings, so students could schedule use of shared spaces.
• Laying the groundwork for future smart home functionality, including remote door unlocking.

True Student needed a scalable, feature-rich app that would improve day-to-day convenience and position them as a leader in student accommodation technology.

To support True Student’s mission of delivering high-quality student living, we developed two native mobile apps, one for iOS and one for Android, with the same experience on both. With a focus on usability and personalisation, the platform helps students stay informed and reach services easily. It also strengthens community connection and day-to-day convenience.

The app has one interface for accommodation services, real-time updates and event notifications, which helps with engagement and simplifies student life. Facility booking is built in, so reserving shared spaces is easier, and the system can scale for future integrations such as smart locks. The True Student app gives residents a premium digital experience that matches the brand’s high-end accommodation.

• User profile creation, with social login options.
• Push notifications, sending real-time personalised updates.
• Facility booking system, allowing students to reserve spaces effortlessly.
• Event listings and diary integration, keeping students informed.
• API integration with the existing website, keeping data consistent.
• Future-ready architecture, supporting smart lock integration.
