BetterW4
W4 on your phone
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Everything you need for the school day, on your phone.
TIMETABLE
See today’s lessons with rooms and teachers, plus a live countdown showing how long is left in the current period. Changed and cancelled lessons are colour-coded, and school calendar events appear alongside your classes.
ASSESSMENTS
Track deadlines in list or month view. See what’s due, what’s overdue and what you’ve already handed in.
GRADES
Predicted and final grades side by side, with your IB 1–7 average.
CAMPUS LIFE
Look up students and teachers, browse houses, check who’s on call tonight, and reach a house leader or nurse in one tap. Plan trips, fill in travel forms and keep emergency contacts handy.
EXTRA ACADEMICS
Your activities, EA diary, portfolio and CAS interviews.
MADE TO FIT YOU
Light or dark appearance, two calendar layouts, and custom colours for every subject. Notifications for timetable changes and upcoming deadlines.
Sign in with your school account to sync with W4. A built-in demo mode lets you explore the app before signing in.
You stay signed in now
BetterW4 used to ask for an emailed verification code almost every time you opened it. That is fixed. Enter the code once and the app tells W4 to trust your phone for 30 days, then keeps your login safely in the iOS Keychain so it can sign you back in on its own whenever W4 ends a session. No more getting dropped on the login screen in the middle of the week.
On the rare occasion it does need you, your username is already filled in and a "Use saved password" button is waiting.
Up Next widget
Add the Up Next widget to your Home screen to see the lesson you are in, or the one coming, with the time left counting down. It reads the timetable the app already loaded, so it uses no extra data and keeps working with no signal.
Current lesson on the Lock Screen
Turn on "Show current lesson on the Lock Screen" in Settings and the lesson you are in appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, counting down to the end of the block. It stays off until you switch it on, because anyone who can see your screen can read it.
Also fixed
- The app could sign you out seconds after it had just signed you back in.
- A storage fault could stop your device from ever being remembered, so a few students were asked for a verification code at every single sign-in.
Short version
Sign in once and stay signed in. BetterW4 now gets W4 to trust your phone for 30 days and signs you back in by itself when a session ends, instead of sending you a new code every time.
New Up Next widget for your Home screen showing the lesson you are in and the time left.
New optional Lock Screen and Dynamic Island card for the current lesson. Off until you turn it on in Settings.
Plus fixes for two bugs that could log you out unexpectedly.
