About

Mensa Aachen

Features
Read full description

A simple App for the Canteens in Aachen ("Studierendenwerk Aachen"). This App allows simple and fast to get an overview about current and upcoming dishes. Using the Settings, you can deactivate canteens or apply filters like showing only vegetarian dishes. After the data was downloaded once, the data is available offline. Remark: The Dishes are only provided in German by the Studierendenwerk. Therefore the Menues will be english, but the Dishes will be still german It's a simple small App - If something isn't working or missing, drop a mail, and I will try to fix it soon.
