KAPP is a Navigation and Information based Android App especially designed for use inside Kathmandu University. KAAP uses Google Maps API to draw out a top view map of Kathmandu University. The map has been modified to include various details and landscape inside KU premises. The app also uses GPS to pinpoint and display user’s location.

When a user approaches a certain building inside the University, the App automatically pops up an information windows displaying the information about the building the user is near. The window also contains links to the concerned department’s website should the user be more interested to know about the department.
