About StudentHome (Open University)

Access your Open University online course materials on the go, in a user-friendly application which incorporates a download organiser for files such as PDF unit texts.

PDF materials will be automatically organised into separate directories by module within the 'Download' folder - particularly useful on a tablet device to aid study while travelling/commuting. Clicking on a download link a second time will open the previously downloaded file rather than download a duplicate copy, reducing mobile data usage.

A student login for the Open University website is required!!!

PLEASE NOTE: This application is NOT endorsed or supported by The Open University in any way. I am a student studying with The Open University and created this application as a personal project.

Your log-in information is used only for the purpose of logging into the Open University site. All of your details are totally removed from the application on logging out.

Please leave feedback if you find my application useful or have suggestions for new features!

by T####:

Love this app and makes keeping up with studies so much easier. I can't figure out how to get drag & drop to work within an icma though, answers just keep jumping back out of the box! V annoying indeed.

G70%
by G####:

Poor. Just seems like a cheap webview but somehow manages to wreak havoc on the site layout. Doesn't really offer any functionality that's not available on the website or through browser/OS.

X70%
by X####:

Since the latest update I can't see all the information as pages are "cropped" and won't let me scroll. Info just not available any more. (Galaxy Pixel XL 5.5" screen)

T70%
by T####:

Samsung galaxy s8 user - when I have it in portrait the coloums are thin and uneven.. yet on the website they sit nice.

O70%
by O####:

It is a really useful app and I find it much easier to navigate than I did at first with the website. However, the drag and drop function doesn't work properly and the upload function for the written assessments and so on doesn't work at all. Otherwise I find this really useful. (:

Z70%
by Z####:

Recently the tma/ema tables are missing vital info - not sure if this is an update bug. It was much better before so I'm hoping it can be fixed because other than that this app is amazing!!!!

V70%
by V####:

Awful app. Everything is squashed up. Pretty much unusable. I'll stick to the website thanks.

B70%
by B####:

This app makes mobile study so much easier. The official OU app is pretty much an ereader with the text books but this gives you everything that you would have on the website available anywhere. Integration with the new module websites is seamless as well. I love this app. Thank you so much for making it.

T70%
by T####:

Easier to launch than having to open browser and navigate to ou site. My latest module has the new layout and can't drill, down to discussion on forums. As it isn't official help desk can't help a day advised to use browser.

T70%
by T####:

Can't see the point of this app, it is no different than opening StuHome in a browser, maybe worst.

L70%
by L####:

I can't access the forums - I have been able to previous years but not this year

S70%
by S####:

Everything was squished was half the text not visible. 100% not usable with galaxy s8

S70%
by S####:

Still head and shoulders above the OU official apps. Easy to navigate, this is a great shortcut to Student Home. The only app I ever used during my studies.

B70%
by B####:

Fantastic little app. Gives you all the essentials. Any glitches are pretty harmless and don't hinder usability too much.

T70%
by T####:

This is a brilliant easy way to access all you need for your course while on the go, it is a million per cent better than the official OpenUniversity app.

H70%
by H####:

This app was great, but since the OU has updated its websites (summer 2017) it doesn't function reliably.

Q70%
by Q####:

Useful to have, but some pages are squished and sometimes links don't work or they just refresh the page.

T70%
by T####:

I've been using this app on and off for years, it's so easy to use and clear, much simpler than the website

X70%
by X####:

I think this app is fantastic! So much better than the official website. Love it (y)

I70%
by I####:

Would be 5* but can no longer access forums on this app.

D70%
by D####:

I recently changed from Samsung note 3 to IPhone 5c. I cldn't find this app anywhere and I seriously felt sad and lost thinking that it was somehow terminated! I didn't realise till today that it must be on just Android and not Apple. I can't tell you how happy I feel that a found this app again. Am using my new Samsung tablet. I will now start studying

K70%
by K####:

This has been an amazing app. Much easier than the official OU one to use and navigate. Allows you ro download material to read on the go. Thoroughly recommend to all. I have finished my degree now so no longer need. Can't praise this app enough.

T70%
by T####:

Have been using and have paid for this app since 2012 and it's generally great. However, it now appears to be having difficulty with displaying the forum threads in the newer module layout types. Each subsequent thread post in a conversation gets further squished to the right hand side of the screen making them virtually unreadable. Please fix this and I'll give back the 5 stars.

M70%
by M####:

I love this app. I've used it on my phone (galaxy s2, 3 and 5) and tablet for a few years now. I only have to start the computer up when it comes to writing up tmas. The only criticism I have is that it won't let me print straight from the app. I have to open the page on the ou website in a browser and print from there (via wifi).

K70%
by K####:

Extremely useful. I access my material in any way everywhere. Just wish my brick university where I spend a fortune for an MSc would be that supportive and innovative. Thank you ou!

K70%
by K####:

This app is fantastic. Easy to use, works great. Open University should pay the creator so they can use it officially, as it is better than their official apps.

K70%
by K####:

I use my Google account to login to website , I don't have a username and password for OU. Please provide option to login using Google account. Giving it 2 rating, because complete log in options are not built in .
