APAC alias "HsH App"

This app unites many services of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover. With almost 3000 users (end of 2015) it was so successfull that it became the official University app in 2014. I maintained it for two years. Then I gave it to the AStA (Student Committee) and they will continue to maintain it. This is my legacy to the University :-)

This app helps to keep track of a lot of information like all the books borrowed at the Library of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover. The system features an app and a webpage. The app displays the borrowed books, message board, food menu, timetable, widget and lots more and has a service running to notify when a book needs to be returned or renewed. Included is a system to collect usage statistics that is 100% anonymized. For more information write an email.

NotesWidget

Homescreen notes widget

This is a homescreen widget that displays some notes and/or to-do lists. The ones on the Play Store didn't quite satisfy me. I wanted one that could be interfaced very fast and simply. It stores the notes in a file on the SD-card. When the widget is clicked it starts the editor.
It features 5 screens selected by clicking the top left or right. An indicator shows the current screen. Clicking the bottom opens the editor. The editor is the same size as the widget. There is no need to save the data as it is saved automatically on exiting.
The editor has some extra features. Swiping outwards on the left side beside the text field will delete the coresponding line. This comes handy for deleting to do list items. Swiping below the text will undo an accidently deleted line and swiping on top switches the screens. Note that the red rectangles are just for a better explanation and are not visible in the app.
