The HootBoard is the mobile extension of your digital bulletin board—bringing your kiosk, signage, events, alerts, and engagement tools right into the hands of your audience.
More than just a mobile app, it’s a portable engagement platform that mirrors the full HootBoard kiosk experience. From digital signage to live event updates and interactive features, users can access everything on their phones—no app store download required. Just scan a QR code and launch.
Mobile Access Without App Installs
No need to download anything. Users can scan a QR code at your kiosk or website and instantly launch the web app. It's ideal for tourists, students, guests, or anyone who needs quick access without creating an account.
Maps, Events & Real-Time Content
Users can explore venue maps, upcoming events, and important announcements on the go. Whether they’re trying to find a building on campus or the timing for the next event, HootBoard makes the experience mobile-friendly and seamless.
