After a summer away, it can be tough to get back into the swing of things in Gainesville. Fortunately, whether you’re trying to catch a bus or score deals on food, UF has an app for that. Here are some free downloads to keep you in-the-know this semester.
GatorSports
With this app, you’ll never wonder about the score of a Gator game again. GatorSports features statistics and articles for all mainstream Florida athletics. Operated by the Gainesville Sun, this app frequently updates weather conditions, scores, and photographs of games. Articles about predictions and breaking news are posted daily, so you’ll always feel informed. This app is a convenient way to keep up-to-date on Florida’s athletic standings at any time.
CitiSync
We all know that there’s never a dull night in Gainesville. Sometimes, you just need a little help figuring out what to do. With the Citisync app, everything from food and drink specials to upcoming concerts and events are right at your fingertips. You can view events and specials by category, and when you find things you like, simply save them to “My Events.” Then, the app will organize your events into a personal timeline. The best part of this app is that it can link to your Facebook and Twitter accounts so you can share the news and always be the life of the party.
TransLoc Transit Visualization
Never miss a bus with the TransLoc app. This app serves as a GPS for the Regional Transit System (RTS) buses that serve Gainesville. With TransLoc, you can plan your day around the bus schedule, knowing in advance if there are any delays. Particularly convenient for students living off campus, the TransLoc app is a must for utilizing free public transportation on and off campus.
Campus Special
There’s no doubt you’ve seen people passing out the Campus Special coupon books in Turlington Plaza. Now, you can access Campus Special deals directly from your smart phone. With UF students in mind, this app provides discounts for everything a collegiette ™ needs in Gainesville. The Campus Special app features a “Deal Map” screen that pinpoints all Campus Special coupon locations in relation to where you are.
Happy downloading!
