Benefits of using the OU Study app include:
• Easy access to your module materials and study planner.
• Download learning materials to study offline.
• Keep track of key dates and progress.
• Never miss a forum message.

The OU Study app is for Open University students who are registered on a course or qualification. Sign in using your OU username and password (the same one you use to sign in to the website).

Free or paid-for learning content from partners such as OpenLearn or FutureLearn is not available in the app.

For any urgent and access queries, contact the computing helpdesk at [email protected].

USEFUL TIPS
• There is a lot of information on your module website. So, it will take a few minutes for the app to load the first time you use it. Use a Wi-Fi connection for your first use. As the app caches some information, it will get quicker.

• Download learning materials individually and batch download by week using Course downloads. Return to the Planner, to access downloaded materials. If you need to free space, delete them on Course downloads.

• The Planner of the app remembers the week you were studying last time. So, you can continue studying easily. You can always navigate to the current week to keep track of the key dates.

• OU Study App and your module website are synced. As you tick completed resources or save an answer, both the module website and the app are updated.

• Some activities are not available in the app. You will be directed to your browser to use the mobile version of the module website.

i haven't used this for a couple of months, and app worked perfectly fine before. now when I try to log in, message says I'm logged in but unable to access modules. so now I can't do any work! keeps looping round to a page which offers no link to view any saved modules, all I can see is my personal details! please sort this out. It's put me off paying for a course if this App is the standard to go by!

Worked Ok two days ago, shortly after installing. Now, on the login page, after entering correct credentials or using autofill, it simply refreshes the page, clearing the fields, and makes you start again. You can do this ad infinitum! No error messages or problems displayed. Currently not worth the trouble if you're relying on it. Should be a good facility but the basics aren't working, I'm afraid. No login = no app. Going in via web pages, same credentials obviously, works just fine.

Not really sure how to rate this app. It worked fine until now that I'm on holiday in Europe... now it constantly asks me to log in, and even when I do, loops back to the login page... Very disappointing given I downloaded it for "on the move"... cannot use it at all. ***edit: somehow i fixed this issue in December but it started playing up again this week. I noticed that the login would auto fill (authenticator), and loop, so I manually reentered my username and password; the app works again.

This app has recently started to become really useful for studying with the OU. I am pleased that more modules have been added, such that I can use the app for the majority of my study. My only gripes are that the loading times for the screens (such as startup) are too long and put me off, and accessing written course PDF resources is a maze of navigation- and I have to do it each time. Can I not have a quick link to a resource on the homepage so that I can quickly catch up where I left off?

It's good for my studies when I don't have my laptop on me. The annoying thing though is that now whenever I go on the app, the log in link keeps popping up even though I've already logged in. Also, none of my stuff is downloading, so I basically can't use the app anymore. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Would love to review, but having downloaded etc, it turns out my module isn't on the app yet, so it is completely useless to me. Very frustrating, as this module is entirely online, with no physical resources, so it would have been great to have it all available on an app. Gave 3 stars, as I had to give something, and I can't actually say whether the app is good or bad, as I haven't been able to use it.

It logs in then shows an error "you do not have permission to access this page". After that I get to the home page, a pop-up asks what country I'm in but the OK button doesn't function to get past this screen. So on Android, the app seems to be broken right now. UPDATE: I input my address on the web page so the pop-up no longer appears. Still get the error when I log-in, once I exit that I can access account but downloading courses doesn't work. The PDF, kindle, word buttons...none function.

it's impossible to delete the account and remove my personal information! even for exploring, I had to create an account with all my information. then I understood it's not my app because I'm looking for the free courses. when I wanted to contact them through email to help me, then I had to add a lot of personal information plus my phone number (mandatory!) why?
