Freehour, the international
successful home-grown app
FREEHOUR is the go-to app for all college
and university students who want to share
their timetable with friends and make stu-
dent life more efficient.
After downloading, just input or import
your timetable schedule into the app and
add the friends you'd like to share your
timetable schedule. You can then see your
friend's full timetable and find out when
your friends are free to meet up on campus.
FreeHour is currently Malta's largest stu-
dent platform for university and college
students and recently launched overseas
in Italy. It registered 10,000 students in the
first week of it's launch.
FreeHour boasts many bonus features,
including weekly student offers, lecture
reminders, assignment and stipend count-
downs, and a large list of Student Jobs pro-
vided by KeepMePosted.
In Malta the app currently covers over
80% of local students, with around 20,000
registered users.
To further their success, FreeHour CEO,
Zach Ciappara, took home the Best Startup
Pitch Award in 2019, where the 20-year-old
presented the app, as well as its history and
plans for the future to an audience of over
300 people, at the Malta Innovation Sum-
mit.
FreeHour is one of the few Maltese apps
to have launched internationally. Being an
entirely home-grown idea that was also
developed on in Malta, which places the
young startup at the top of their industry.
