All students know the only important function of a timetable is to tell you when you’ve got some free time to chill between lectures. The problem is that timetables don’t tell you when your friends are also free. Or at least, they didn’t used to. Until now. 

FreeHour is changing the game. This new timetable-sharing app was created by 18-year-old Uni student Zach Ciappara and it’s launching in Malta first. 

Here’s why you need to download it right now. 

1. It’s absolutely free

FreeHour is completely free to download and use. There’s no catch, it’s as simple as that.

2. It can be used by all students in Malta

You can share your timetable with friends from different institutions, so no one is going to feel left out.

3. It’s super easy to use 

It really doesn’t get much easier than this. Once you’ve signed up through Facebook, all you need to do is add your timetable and share it with friends so you can find common frees. 

You’ll get the hang of it way quicker than you memorise your timetable anyway.

4. It’s compatible with iOS and Android

And all you need to do is click here for iOS and here for Android.

5. It’s supported by Lovin Malta

For those tragic moments when none of your friends are free and you just need to keep yourself busy, FreeHour has a cheeky link to your favourite page.

How does it work? In three easy steps

1. Sign in with Facebook and invite your friends

2. Add your timetable (you only need to do this once)

3. Find friends who are free when you are

What are you waiting for? Download the app today and start enjoying your frees. 

Oh, and there’s more. Tag three friends under this Facebook post for a chance to win some delicious milkshakes from New York Best. Three groups of friends will be chosen.
