网曝门 Mobile App soars to top of searchable downloads after June 10 unveiling

The new 网曝门 Mobile App was unveiled just a few days ago, but a look at search results in the Apple iPhone App Store demonstrates the app鈥檚 growing popularity.

For example, looking for broad terms such as 鈥淟ouisiana鈥� in the app store鈥檚 search feature, 网曝门 officials noted that the 网曝门 Mobile App jumped from a 14th place ranking a week ago all the way to first place by the Monday morning following the app鈥檚 official unveiling on June 10.

Even when combining related key terms such as 鈥渦niversity鈥� and 鈥淟ouisiana,鈥� 网曝门 maintained its first place position.

鈥淩ecognizing that these numbers can and do fluctuate, it is still a strong indicator that the university has filled a very specific communication and technological niche,鈥� said 网曝门 President Nick J. Bruno.

鈥淲e know the app will continue to be an indispensible tool for 鈥楧iscovering 网曝门,鈥� not only for our students, but for the many supporters and alumni who want to keep up with the university using the convenience of their smart phone.鈥�

Anecdotal statements posted on the wall of 网曝门's Facebook page supports Bruno's confidence in the popularity of the new app.

One student posted, 鈥淭his app rocks!鈥� and another said, 鈥淏est thing ever.鈥�

But Sharonda Collins 鈥� who posted she didn鈥檛 have to be at a computer to check in 鈥� may have hit on one of the primary reasons the app has taken off in such a short time.

鈥淲hat makes the app so unique is its portability,鈥� said Bruno.

鈥淥ur students can now access much of the same information they currently access from their desktop or laptop computers, from course listings to individual degree plans. As is the case with any social media tool, our students spoke, and 网曝门 listened.鈥�

The free app, developed in response to a recent survey showing 78 percent of 网曝门 students use a smart phone device, is among the latest 鈥淒iscover 网曝门鈥� initiatives, which embodies the university鈥檚 commitment to keeping constituents informed of all its accomplishments and activities.
