CI One is the all-in-one app for the Chadwick International community. It used to be called CI Dolphin; version 2.0 gives it a new name and a complete redesign. Sign in with your @chadwickschool.org Google account and the school day is in one place, in a calm, light design. TODAY AT A GLANCE Home opens on a live view of campus with a greeting, the date, the temperature and PM2.5 air quality. See new posts in the F&S Lounge, new Marketplace listings and new Lost & Found items at a glance, along with today's events, lunch and teachers' picks around Songdo. SCHOOL CALENDAR A month view of school events (sports, trips, meetings and more) with the day's events listed underneath. LUNCH MENU The week's lunch for MS/US and VS, station by station, with dish names in English and Korean. AIR QUALITY Live PM2.5, PM10, ozone and NO2, a 12-hour PM2.5 forecast, humidity and wind, so you know what it's like outside before recess. CAMPUS MAP IN 3D Explore the whole campus in 3D. Tap a building (VS, MS/US, SPINE, Leadership) or search for any room, office or place, then get directions across campus. Quick Find takes you straight to the VS Office, the Health Office or the cafeteria. LOST & FOUND Post a lost or found item with a photo, and AI helps describe it so it's easy to search. See how many items each office (Gym, MS/US, VS) is holding, and filter by Open, Lost, Found or Resolved. F&S LOUNGE AND MARKETPLACE A private board where faculty and staff share tips, events and recommendations, and a marketplace to buy, sell or give away items within the community. LOCAL GUIDE Restaurants, cafes and places teachers love around Songdo, on a map. Save your favorites or add your own. MESSAGES Chat inside the app to arrange a pickup, return a lost item or reply to a post, without sharing your phone number. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Only @chadwickschool.org accounts can sign in. Students get Home and Lost & Found; faculty and staff get the full app. Built by CI, for CI.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CI One at every 6 days against GenieFriends's fortnightly. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
