The public facing Connect Lehigh companion app displays the same content as the Connect Lehigh web application, providing a consistent experience for students, faculty, and staff. The mobile app improves the user experience by incorporating native mobile features such as: navigation icons for home, search (discover), calendar, notifications, and main menu, all located at the bottom of the app; external links are opened as an overlay that provides intuitive navigation back to the app; and push notifications related to posted notifications in the Connect Lehigh web application. Additionally, there are mobile communication features included, allowing a phone number to launch the phone app, selecting an address launches the map app, and selecting an email address launches the email app.
