Page 6: The appLyst story 4 100 for emailing

AppLyst Was Born:

The Mobile App

that “Manages and

Tracks your

College

Application”

Let’s see how it works…

The

“Tripit” of

College

Apps…

“Tripit” is a Trademark of Concur

Page 7: The appLyst story 4 100 for emailing

So how

does

AppLyst

work?This is the main or

Home Screen,

where you can

navigate through the

application.

Page 8: The appLyst story 4 100 for emailing

Next step – year you are in now

After filling in your

name and email,

select which year

you are in from the

dropdown menu.

This will determine

the Due Dates and

Push Notifications

Page 9: The appLyst story 4 100 for emailing

Next step – chose a college

Now choose one or

more colleges that you

want to track.

In this case we chose

the University of

Maryland.

You can see some

initial information on the

college.

Page 10: The appLyst story 4 100 for emailing

Next step –

get college

tasks &

deadlines

Once I hit “Start

Tracking my Progress”,

the app automatically

downloads all the

pertinent information for

the selected college,

including Due Dates

and other needed

information, and creates

My Tasks list..

Page 11: The appLyst story 4 100 for emailing

Next step – create/edit tasks

I can create my own

tasks, or edit and

change existing tasks.

The “Description” also

gives me more

information. It also

syncs with my calendar

and sends Push

Notifications…

Page 12: The appLyst story 4 100 for emailing

Final step – I’ve Been Accepted!

After I have successfully

completed all my

applications to my

selected colleges,

hopefully I will also get

the message:

YOU HAVE BEEN

ACCEPTED TO THE

COLLEGE OF YOUR

CHOICE.
