FAQs

How do students download the app for their residence hall?
Upon publishing your app, you’ll have a custom landing page to share with your audience - as well as a unique QR code. Our app Builder also gives you tools like email promotion, posters, and social media templates (and more) to make promoting and downloading your event app super simple.
Can I make changes to the residence life app after I publish it?
Absolutely. If at any point you need to make a change, just jump right back into our system, make those edits, and hit Publish. Within seconds, your updates will be live. And, if you need to send any last-minute notifications to your users, you can do that straight from your phone or tablet with our Mobile Admin capabilities.
Can I build this on my own? I’m not very technical…
Yes, you can. If you’re comfortable sending an email or putting together a few basic PowerPoint slides, you can build an app on our platform. Most of our customers would not describe themselves as tech-savvy.
Do you offer human support?
Of course. Guidebook’s award-winning customer success team has reps in the US and the UK, and we pride ourselves on fast response times, and becoming a trusted advisor to you and your team.
