The Booking App in Your Pocket: Install Booking Map on Your Phone

People book from the couch, not from a PC

The vast majority of residents book laundry time from their phone — often while holding a basket of dirty clothes. That's why Booking Map is built mobile-first.

An app without the App Store

Booking Map is a PWA — a progressive web app. That means residents can install it straight from the browser with one tap on "Add to Home Screen." No App Store, no Google Play, no updates to download.

After installing, it looks and behaves like a regular app, with its own icon on the home screen.

Benefits for the resident

  • Book in three taps or fewer
  • Dark mode for comfortable use in the evening
  • Works offline for pages you've recently viewed
  • Notifications straight to your phone (optional)
  • Always up to date — no manual updating

Benefits for the board

  • No distribution via app stores
  • All residents get the same version automatically
  • Works on both iPhone and Android
  • Lower barrier to adoption = higher usage

Built for local conditions

The app is available in Norwegian and English, and the resident chooses their language. Data is stored in Europe, and the solution is GDPR compliant.

How residents get started

  1. The board invites the resident via email
  2. The resident opens the link and registers
  3. The browser suggests "Add to Home Screen"
  4. Done — booking is one tap away
