OU Study

This is basically the same as if you were to load up the website. That’s it. Pretty poor to be honest.

This app has helped me through my three years so far, I don’t think I would have done so well without it. With this app on my phone and my iPad, I have been able to access it everywhere I go. Thanks for keeping this app running so well, I’m a very grateful student.

App notifications are broken 💀

Keeps login you out and than u have to mess around logging back in everyday. Not the best experience but its free so I appreciate it

As a visually impaired student, I have tools accessible to me, like GoodNotes to be able to zoom in and take notes comfortably, or iOS text settings such as making text bold to read easier. Sadly, although there is a function to enlarge text within the app, this doesn’t appear to make any difference to the course material. Therefore, if you’re viewing on an iPad, this can become uncomfortable after a while due to the small text size and inability to zoom in. It would be great to get this fixed to improve the experience of the app.

Obviously, I do my main studying the website on my laptop, but the app is a really great add-on while out and about. Particularly the option to download the content for offline use.

Students pay a lot of money to study. The least the OU could do is make a app that’s not slow and have better functionalities. If not all links on the app take you to an external site. The planner is very buggy. The app itself need improving as a whole. Considering they’ve been developing it for a few years, not much difference has been made and I don’t know how this has not been a priority especially in the tech world we live in currently. The app is very disappointing. My initial thoughts were OU would have this covered considering they have been in business pre covid so they theoretically be experts at this, however the app say otherwise. This isn’t money well spent at all.

Deleted the app after an hour of studying when I noticed that notes I made in text boxes were not saved either in the app or browser, so I’ve lost work and time.

What’s happened to this app?? I really liked the way it worked before as I could access everything from my iPad now I can’t navigate it at all!

I’ve been an OU student on and off for about 14 years and this is what I’ve wanted for most of them. I’ve just returned to study a new qualification after two years off and this app has completely changed how I study. Thank you! The only additional feature on my wish list at the moment is a bookmark feature so I can flag pages I want to refer back to.
