Thanks to all the developers who’ve worked on delivering this version of the app: Juan Leyva, Jerome Mouneyrac, Barbara Ramiro and Josep Gifreu. The new app has been designed as a platform with the following strengths: It is secureIt can work offlineIt makes some Moodle operations faster and more convenientIt will support notifications on all platforms (coming soon)It can be branded by any Moodle site easily using CSSIt can be customised and expanded by an institution (the code is open source) Our strategy going forward is two-fold: The development of the official Moodle Mobile app will continue under the main guidance of CV&A Consulting (our trusted Moodle Partner in Barcelona, Spain).
