Features

Six parts of student life, one app.

Each tab in HowFar solves something students already deal with every week. Here is what each one does and what you can expect from it.

Chat

Talk to one person or the whole class

Direct messages, media, voice notes and read receipts, built for the way students actually talk. Requests keep strangers out of your main list until you decide.

  • One on one and group conversations
  • Photos, files, voice notes and lecture slides
  • Message requests so unknown senders wait their turn
  • Mute anything noisy without leaving it

Groups

Departments, hostels, clubs, study circles

Every group your campus already runs on, in a place designed for it. Discover new ones, join in a tap, and leave whenever you want.

  • Course, department and level groups
  • Clubs, societies and interest communities
  • Discover tab for groups you are not in yet
  • Admin tools for people who run the group

Campus Life

What is happening, where, and when

Events, announcements, notices and the small things that usually only travel by word of mouth. Follow your school and stop hearing news late.

  • Campus announcements and notices
  • Events, fixtures and student activities
  • Verified school and faculty accounts
  • Save anything you want to come back to

Market

Buy and sell inside your campus

Textbooks, gadgets, hostel space, hair, food, laundry, repairs and everything else students trade. Listings are tied to campuses, so buyers are close by.

  • List an item in under a minute
  • Filter by campus, category and price
  • Message the seller without leaving the app
  • Report and block tools on every listing

Update

Timetable, materials, and class updates

The academic side of student life kept in one tab. Know what is holding, where it moved to, and what you missed.

  • Timetable and venue changes
  • Shared notes, past questions and slides
  • Class rep announcements
  • Reminders before a session starts

Updates

A quiet feed of what changed

Short posts and status from your circles, plus product news from HowFar. Designed to be checked, not scrolled for an hour.

  • Status and short posts from people you follow
  • Notifications grouped by what they are about
  • Nothing sold to advertisers
  • Full control over what reaches you
