Since entering high school, I had always wanted to re-make my school's app. It honestly wasn't very useful at all and I wanted to make it much better. So after teaching myself how to make an app for Wash Your Hands Streaks (scroll down), I decided to bring my skills to a much more complicated app.

I wanted to make this app cloud-based, so it could provide information to students in real-time. To do that, I used Apple's CloudKit, which is very fast and easy to use.

I spent about two weeks straight, 10 hours per day making this app, and it was incredibly fun to do. Like, really, really, REALLY fun. I loved working through all of the issues I had along the way, and I had learned to make my code shorter and more re-usable (compared to Wash Streaks).

The app provides users with the following:

  • LIVE updates to the school calendar, morning announcements, upcoming events, and important info
  • Notifications on what type of school day it is
  • Easy way to view and contact all faculty and staff
  • Important schedules and websites
  • …and much more!

Designated users can also update information within the app, and publish it to every single student's iPad. That's pretty cool if you ask me.

Unfortunately, I tried very hard to actually get this published, but was unable to. The building principal and owner of the old app approved my new app, but I was unable to get in touch with the administrator who runs the Great Neck Public School's App Store Connect account in order to upload the app to the App Store.
