Features & Capabilities

OU Study is a mobile app for Open University students to access module materials, use a built-in study planner, download content for offline study, and track progress while staying connected to forum messages.

Sign in with your OU credentials. Some content from partners such as OpenLearn or FutureLearn isn’t available in the app. The first load may take time as the app caches data. Download materials by week, use the planner to return to current weeks, and enjoy synchronized updates between the module website and the app. For help, contact ou-scdhd@open.ac.uk.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the OU Study app for providing mobile access to course materials and enabling study away from computers. However, many reviews report significant issues such as persistent login problems, slow performance, and unreliable offline content access. The interface is seen as outdated and less comprehensive than the website, with some courses not supported. Despite these problems, some users find the app helpful for quick study sessions and managing coursework on the move, but overall the app requires improvements and bug fixes to meet user expectations.

Pros

Allows access to course materials and study content on the go.
Useful for studying when away from a laptop or desktop computer.
Ability to download textbooks by chapter, saving phone storage.
Helps manage study and travel more easily.
Some users find it beneficial for brief study sessions amid busy schedules.

Cons

Frequent login problems, including endless login loops and failures.
App is often slow, with long loading times and occasional crashes.
Offline access and content downloading features frequently do not work or are unreliable.
User interface feels outdated and can be confusing to navigate, lacking some desktop features.
Limited module availability; some courses and functionalities are missing from the app.

Recent reviews

Really slow, constant server timeouts. Definitely better to just use the browser to access student home

Brilliant for accessing course materials. A tablet version wouldn't hurt (turns out one is available), but this has made study & travel far easier to manage.
