How can I use Moodle on mobile devices?
The official Moodle mobile app allows you to view and participate in courses from your mobile.
Even without the app, recent versions of Moodle should have mobile-friendly (responsive) themes to improve the user experience when accessing courses on smaller devices.
I can't get the app to work. Where can I get help?
If you are a student or teacher, first contact the administrator of your organisation's Moodle site.
If you are the administrator and you have enabled mobile services on your site, please check:
- If your site uses an SSL certificate, it must be a trusted certificate, not self-signed
- Debugging is disabled (in Site administration > Development > Debugging)
If you still have a problem, please post in the Moodle for mobile forum.
I think I found a bug with the app. What do I do?
- Log in to the Moodle Mobile tracker (you'll need to create a tracker account if you've not done so previously)
- Check whether the issue has already been reported by searching all the issues
- If not, report the bug by clicking the 'Create Issue' link at the top right of the page, selecting 'Moodle Mobile' as the project
- Add a detailed description then click the Create button
- Attach the following files to the issue by selecting 'Attach Files' in the 'More actions' dropdown menu:
- 'Device information' - this can be found in the app (Settings -> Development -> Device info, you can send yourself this information by email using the e-mail button at the bottom)
- App Log (Settings -> Development -> Show Log, again you can send yourself this information by email)
The Moodle Mobile app says I need 2.4 or higher
Check with the administrator of your site that mobile services have been enabled.
I can't view the courses tab as an administrator
The Moodle Mobile app only displays courses you are enrolled in. If you want to see courses as an admin, you need to enrol in them.
I got the "we lost connection; you need to reconnect. Your token is now invalid." on my custom version of Moodle Mobile
Please check:
- You have followed all the steps listed in Moodle Mobile Developing a plugin tutorial
- You have enabled the moodle/webservice:createtoken capability for the authenticated user
I got the error "Automatically token generation is not available to site administrators"
You need to manually create a token in Site administration > Plugins > Web Services > Manage tokens for the Moodle Mobile web service.
I get the error "Invalid response value detected" when accessing the site
The user quota global setting should be an integer. For more details, see the discussion How to enable Moodle Mobile App for all accounts.
