To download the app, visit the App Store for your iOS device, or Google Play for your Android, and search for "UNH Mobile."

Access to all things UNH is now available for Apple devices in addition to the Android platform upon which it was first developed. ‘UNH Mobile’ is a suite of 18 application modules presented within the context of a customizable home screen. Six of these app modules access mobile-ready UNH websites, while the other 12 reside directly within the application itself.

The app was developed by the UNH Mobile Application Development Team, which is comprised of members of Information Technology (Academic Technology & Web Solutions) and University Communications and Marketing (New & Emerging Media).

The 18 modules include:

1. Athletics: features Wildcat news, providing instant access headlines, as well as up-to-the-minute scores, live stats, audio streaming, schedules, team information, rosters, TV/radio, and more.

2. Augmented Reality: location-based augmented reality module consumes the following AR channels: UNH map info, Wikipedia, Twitter. Not available for iPads.

3. Computer Labs: real-time computer availability in computer labs across campus. The module integrates with Maps app to show the building locations, directions, etc.

4. Courses: search UNH and UNHM course catalogs. Fall, spring, summer and J-Term courses are represented; courses are categorized by category, but can be broken down by online, general education, or Discovery. The bookmark feature allows users to keep track of courses of interest.

5. Dining: shows a 10-day menu forecast for Holloway, Stillings and Philbrook. Users can also search for and then select specific food items to view a recipe and an interactive nutritive analysis of their entire meal.

In addition to providing directions to UNH (via bus, train, car and boat), the module also shows up-to-date information about vacation schedules, exceptions, late-night services, and more.
