Texas State University (TXST) and Modo Labs Launch Unified, Mobile-First Student Experience App

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Texas State University and Modo Labs have launched TXST Mobile, a new mobile-first app designed to deliver a seamless, unified digital experience for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors.
Built on Modo’s mobile-first platform, the new app represents an evolution from the university’s earlier homegrown solution, providing a modern, scalable foundation that meets the needs of today’s on-the-go campus community.
TXST Mobile brings essential campus tools into a unified experience layer, powered by Modo and designed to be the front door to campus life. With native features such as push notifications, GPS-enabled navigation, and personalized dashboards, users can easily access the services they need. Integrations with Banner SIS and Canvas—cornerstone systems for academic success and student involvement—bring academics, engagement, and daily campus needs together into one seamless, connected experience.
“Our goal was to modernize how our community connects with the university,” said Sandy Pantlik, vice president of the Division of Marketing and Communications. “Our previous homegrown app helped us get started, but expectations have grown. With Modo, we can now bring academics, engagement, and essential student services together in one cohesive, mobile-first experience that supports our community wherever they are.”
Developed in collaboration with Modo, TXST Mobile allows the university to consolidate digital touchpoints while enabling consistent growth across both mobile and web. Modo’s low-code platform gives Texas State the flexibility to build, iterate, and expand experiences quickly—without relying on extensive development resources.
“We are proud to support Texas State University as they advance their digital engagement strategy,” said Andrew Umans, general manager for higher education at Modo. “By moving to a unified, mobile-first platform, the university is delivering an experience that meets users where they are—on their phones, on the go—while setting a foundation for long-term agility and innovation.”
The university’s newly released video showcases the app experience and highlights the collaborative effort behind its development.
