One experience, everywhere
BetterW4 goes with you.
It's not two different products — it's the same modern W4, whether you're at your computer or checking your timetable on the bus.
BetterW4 for iOS & Android
A real app in your pocket.
Not W4's mobile website giving up on a small screen. Timetable, mail, assessments and attendance open instantly, on both iPhone and Android.
What makes the difference
Little things you feel every day.
The whole week at a glance.
Academics and extra-academics in one view, with rotation days (Day 1–5), subject colours and the "now" line. No more switching between tabs to find where you should be.
A real dark mode.
Proper black, not W4's tired grey. Perfect for late-night homework.
Everything you owe, one list.
W4's assessment calendar, list or month view. Confirm done and move on — no digging through every subject.
Offline
Works without Wi-Fi.
Every surface is cached on your device. A warm cache opens in airplane mode; a cold one fetches.
Notifications
Never miss a message.
New mail and campus-status changes gathered in one place, so you spot them before class starts.
Simple by design
One college, every device.
