Everyone wants an app, but how many succeed? What’s the difference between a mobile optimised webpage and an app?

Apps can drive engagement and help deliver estates and facilities objectives – but how do you go about it? And do you really know what you are letting yourself in for?

A student from London South Bank University approached the Sustainability Team with an idea for a freecycling app – this session took participants through the highs and lows of that story.
