New app Volume released, developed by U of I students

There’s a new app that was just introduced called Volume, developed right here in C-U. Pretty cool, and here is some information from a release/submission of theirs:

As Champaign-Urbana settles back into summer in the coming weeks, the scenery will spruce up and free time will flow right back into your hands. What is a townie to do?

Whether you’re at Jarling’s, Destihl, Black Dog, or anywhere else, you’re going to face a similar predicament: long lines, busy crowds, and waiting. Well now there is an app that can help you avoid those crowds and spend your time frolicking in summertime fun rather than waiting in line.

The app is called Volume and it lets you see how busy places in Champaign-Urbana are in real time. The app features coffee shops, restaurants, bars, libraries, and more! And it just launched on the Apple App Store (Android releasing in Mid-June).

Volume was created by U of I students to bring a new layer of information to the shopping experience of Champaign-Urbana. However you plan on spending your summer in Champaign-Urbana, checking Volume means opting out of long lines for fewer headaches and more summertime fun.
