Download the anny app from the App Store or Play Store. When signing in, make sure you have selected the right data region (usually EU+).

Set the date and time

Tap the date and time at the top and define when you need your study space. You have two options:
  • Specify a duration: enter the desired number of hours under Duration (e.g. 3 hours). anny then shows you all spaces available for this duration at some point on the selected day.
  • Choose an exact period: define a fixed start and end time and set the duration to Full period. This way you see only spaces free exactly within this window.

Check whether you have enabled precise location for the anny app. Also make sure you are inside the building and have GPS reception.
Most German universities use the EU+ region. If you are unsure, ask at your library.
