Moodle App features

The following features are available to organisations depending on the Moodle App plan they subscribe to.

Active devices for Push notifications

Calculated monthly, this is the number of unique user devices actively receiving push notifications from a Moodle site.

For example, for a site with 200 users enrolled and using the app with one device configured to receive push notifications, the potential number of active devices per month will be 200.

Multimedia Push notifications

For Android only, the Push notifications received by your users can include images. Similar messages will be grouped, for example, when receiving private messaging notifications. Requires activation via the Moodle Apps Portal.

Custom site listing in search results

Enable users to find your site by name when logging in to the app, removing the need to type the full URL of your site. You can configure how the results are displayed in the “Site finder” in the Moodle Apps Portal, including adding an image for your site and additional information.

QR login

Your users will be able to log in to the app by scanning a QR login, available on their Moodle site profile. Requires activation in your Moodle site's administration settings, and is compatible with Moodle LMS 3.9 and later.

Biometric login

Streamline login for your users with fingerprint or Face ID authentication. For enhanced security, your users will be prompted to perform a regular standard login at intervals determined by your Moodle site's security settings. Requires activation via the Moodle Apps Portal, and individual user setup.

Offline courses per device per site

This feature allows users to download entire courses for offline access. Depending on the app plan, there will be varying limits on the number of courses users can download.

The amount of individual activities and resources that users are allowed to download is unlimited.

Basic branding

Using an online tool in the Moodle Apps Portal, organisations can customise the colour palette of their site in the Moodle App (including the login screen). Requires activation via the Moodle Apps Portal.

Integration with Matomo Analytics

Organisations with Matomo Analytics integrated into their Moodle site can extend tracking capabilities to the app. To use this integration, you need to have your own instance of Matomo.

Requires activation via the Moodle Apps Portal. For details, see the Moodle app guide for admins.

Customisable app features via Moodle LMS site administration

Certain app functionality can be configured via the Moodle site. App configuration options vary depending on your subscription plan.

• Custom menu items: you can add your own links within the Moodle app menu. Your custom links will be available via the 'more' menu (the three-dot ⋯ menu at the bottom of the app).
• Disabled features: you can select which Moodle features, such as blocks or modules, won’t be available on your app.
• Custom language strings: you can customise the app's language strings.

For more details, visit Moodle app guide for admins.

Google Analytics for Firebase (BMA)

Google Analytics for Firebase is a free tool that provides valuable insights and data about how users interact with mobile apps. For compliance with GDPR, users will be able to disable it at any time.

Custom notifications (BMA)

A tool available at the "Apps portal" will allow you to send customised Push notifications to all the active users of your Branded Moodle App.

You will be able to provide a title, message and additional information in HTML format for your notifications. For Android users, it will be also possible to include a descriptive icon and image.

Custom download page (BMA)

A tool available at the "Apps portal" will allow you to create a custom download page for your app by just providing the "App name" you want to display, a description and a descriptive image.
