Um Splash Félagslegt netkerfisforrit

Splash er félagslegt netkerfisforrit sem er hannað til að hjálpa háskólanemum að kynnast nýjum vinum í eigin persónu. Notendur skrá sig með símanúmeri og sjá væntanlega viðburði á heimasíðunni. Einn smellur nægir til að skrá sig á viðburð og nýja fundi má útbúa á örfáum sekúndum. Pörun byggist á tíma, staðsetningu og sameiginlegum áhugamálum. Tengingar í öðrum lið og einkaskipti á símanúmerum styðja við traust og öryggi. Áminningar hvetja til þátttöku. Splash er þróað fyrir iOS og Android og fjarlægir kostnaðar- og tímahindranir í félagslífi á háskólasvæðinu.
