## What Gapwise for Android is

Gapwise for Android is the native Android client for **[Gapwise](https://gapwise.ca)**, a timetable-intelligence platform for University of Toronto students.
Gapwise for Android is the native Android client for **[Gapwise](https://gapwise.ca)**, a free and open-source multi-university timetable and campus-intelligence platform.

The timetable layer supports **UTM, UTSG, UTSC, and mixed-campus schedules**. Campus identity and the original ACORN location string are preserved instead of being collapsed into one campus namespace. The current Android MapLibre implementation renders UTM buildings and routes only; UTSG and UTSC timetable locations remain intact but are not plotted on that map.
While the Gapwise web platform supports 7 universities across Canada (U of T, Carleton, TMU, Queen's, Laurier, York, and McMaster), the current native Android client implementation focuses on the **University of Toronto** (UTM, UTSG, UTSC, and mixed-campus schedules), with broader multi-university native client expansion planned.

This is a real native Android application rather than a WebView wrapper. Android owns navigation, storage, lifecycle behavior, platform authentication hand-off, theming, and map rendering while the wider Gapwise ecosystem remains the source of truth for shared product semantics.
