What’s New Version 3.4.1
Updated to iOS 26.2
Description
eduroam is a global service for the academic community, facilitating access to internet connectivity when roaming. Find out more at https://www.eduroam.org
This eduroam Companion app has been created by Jisc, the UK’s national research and education network provider, to assist eduroam’s international community of users in making best use of the service. It documents the location of eduroam venues worldwide, allowing users to locate their nearest access location.
Users can use the map screen to explore eduroam venues close to them or to plan network access for upcoming trips. The interface allows searching for a specific venue or listing all venues on the current map view. Further details for each venue can be displayed, and if desired the app will create a route to navigate you to a chosen venue.
Please note that this companion app displays the data gathered by the central eduroam service, so any queries or requests for inclusion should in the first instance go to them via the URL above. We’d be really grateful for any reviews or suggestions for the app itself, however.
Jisc is grateful for the assistance of Miro and colleagues in the Geant eduroam service management team in deploying core infrastructure to support this major update.

Bug fixes
Build 849688893v3.3.02022-06-07 06:58:50
This update includes accessibility enhancements in line with WCAG 2.1.
Improvements include:
- Screen Reader Compatibility
Users can now use screen readers to navigate around all areas of the app interface, including the map showing participating venues.
- Site List
In addition to the visual map showing locations, where each pin can be clicked to show venue details, users can now also see the participating venues in a list that updates dynamically in line with what is showing on the map visual. The list can also be searched for full/partial text matches independently of the map function.
- Customisable Font & Button Size
Users can significantly increase font and button size without losing content or functionality. The exact rate of zoom that can be achieved without impacting usability will depend on the size of your mobile device.

Build 828964341v3.0.02018-12-12 10:09:02
This major release represents a complete rewrite of the eduroam companion app. This allows us:
- To update the user interface and conform to current best practice;
- To implement the new database format being introduced by the eduroam service, allowing us to provide richer service information;
- To co-develop a data distribution mechanism with the central eduroam team based on JSON, replacing the daily update over FTP;
- To optimise the code for performance given that the number of map points has greatly increased over time;
- To conform to updated accessibility and data protection legislation;
- To run a common code base across platforms, and with our sister app that documents govroam in the UK (the Govroam Companion).
We hope our long-term users and new adopters alike will find this new version of the companion app beneficial.
