Always Connected es la app donde pasa la vida social de tu campus. Abre el mapa y mira qué hay cerca de ti ahora mismo: un partido a las siete, alguien montando grupo para estudiar, una fiesta, una salida el sábado. Todo lo publican estudiantes como tú, y todo está en el mapa. QUÉ PUEDES HACER · Ver en un mapa los eventos de tu campus, filtrados por lo que te interesa. · Crear el tuyo en menos de un minuto: dónde, cuándo y cuánta gente cabe. · Pedir unirte a un evento y hablar con los demás en el chat del grupo. · Hacer check-in cuando llegas y sumar puntos e insignias por participar. · Añadir amigos y enterarte de lo que montan. TU UNIVERSIDAD, VERIFICADA Si te registras con tu correo institucional, la app reconoce tu universidad y te pone la insignia de verificado. Solo ves y compartes eventos de tu propia comunidad. TU SEGURIDAD Puedes reportar y bloquear a cualquiera desde el menú de cualquier evento, mensaje o perfil. Revisamos los reportes en menos de 24 horas. Al bloquear a alguien dejáis de veros del todo. Y puedes borrar tu cuenta y todos tus datos desde la propia app, cuando quieras. Always Connected pide tu ubicación solo mientras usas la app, para enseñarte lo que tienes cerca y validar tu asistencia.
