We configure, extend, and support Moodle's own Mobile app framework — web services, push notifications, custom mobile functions, and offline sync — so your LMS works as well on a phone as it does in a browser.
Moodle Mobile ships as part of core, but most sites never properly configure web services, push notifications, or offline sync — so students end up fighting a browser on a small screen instead of using a mobile experience that actually works.
Mobile services enabled but never scoped or reviewed for what an app actually needs.
Firebase and APNs left unconfigured, so deadlines and announcements silently never reach a phone.
Offline access technically exists but was never tested against a real dropped connection.
This is the technical side of getting Moodle working properly on mobile — web services, push notifications, custom mobile functions, offline sync, and store publishing. Want a fully branded, white-label app with your own name, icon, and store listing? See our full mobile app development breakdown for that dedicated engagement.
Everything needed to take Moodle Mobile from a default, half-working install to a mobile experience your learners actually rely on.
We build against Moodle's own Mobile app framework and web services layer instead of a separate, disconnected mobile codebase.
Mobile web services enabled and scoped correctly, exposing only what your app needs, without opening up more of your Moodle API than necessary.
Firebase Cloud Messaging and APNs wired up and tested, so announcements and deadlines reach students' phones instead of silently failing.
New external functions written when a workflow — attendance, custom SSO, a bespoke report — isn't exposed by Moodle Mobile out of the box.
Course content, quizzes, and files available offline, with progress and submissions syncing automatically once a device reconnects.
Store listings, submission, and review requirements handled end-to-end under your own developer accounts.
IDEAL Learning Solutions came to us running IELTS and TOEFL exam prep courses on Moodle with unconfigured mobile web services and no push notifications. Read how we configured, branded, and published a working iOS and Android app for them.
Real Moodle mobile work means working with Moodle's actual Mobile app framework, not a disconnected mobile codebase bolted on top.
Custom pages, plugins, and content types added through Moodle Mobile's own extensible app framework.
Mobile-specific web service functions defined and scoped through Moodle's external API, not generic REST bolted on top.
Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service configured and tested against real devices before launch.
Token-based mobile login, biometric authentication, and SSO integrations wired through Moodle's mobile auth flow.
Local caching and conflict-safe sync for offline course access, tested against real connectivity drop-outs.
A clear, five-step process from discovery to store submission.
We review your Moodle site, existing plugins, and decide what belongs in the app versus what stays on web.
Mobile web services enabled and scoped, with any custom external functions planned out.
The Moodle Mobile app is configured and branded against your site's web services.
Firebase/APNs configured and offline sync tested against real course content.
Submitted under your developer accounts, with a post-launch support window included.
Most learning today happens on a phone, not a desktop browser tab.
Deadlines and announcements reach students instead of getting lost in an unconfigured setup.
Students studying on a commute or with unreliable internet stay unblocked.
Built on Moodle's own Mobile app framework, not a separate app you'd have to maintain forever.
No client logos or star ratings here — just the commitments every mobile build is held to.
You work directly with the engineer configuring your mobile app — no account managers relaying messages back and forth.
The quote we give you upfront is what you pay. No surprise invoices after launch.
Every mobile build is backed by real Moodle core, plugin, and mobile web services experience — not a generic app-wrapper template.
Your App Store and Google Play developer accounts, your web services configuration, your branding. Nothing rented after handover.
You know exactly where your build stands at every stage, from discovery through store submission — no radio silence.
A post-launch support window is built into every engagement, so the app doesn't become your problem the day we hand it over.

Straight answers to what clients usually ask before starting a build.
This page covers the full range of Moodle mobile work — web services configuration, custom mobile functions, push notifications, and offline sync — as part of the broader Moodle Development silo. If you specifically want full white-label branding with your own App Store and Google Play listing, see our full mobile app development breakdown for that dedicated build.
For most sites, configuring and extending the existing Moodle Mobile app is faster, cheaper, and more maintainable than a fully custom codebase. We only recommend a from-scratch build when your requirements genuinely can't be met through Moodle's Mobile app API and web services layer.
Moodle's Mobile web services are available from Moodle 3.9+, but we build and test against 4.x and 5.x. We confirm compatibility with your version and any existing plugins during discovery.
Yes. We write custom external web service functions when a workflow — attendance, a bespoke report, custom SSO — isn't exposed by Moodle Mobile out of the box.
A Configured App build typically takes 3 to 4 weeks. A Custom Mobile Build with custom web service functions usually runs 6 to 9 weeks, depending on scope and store review turnaround.
You do, fully. Apps are published under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, and any custom code lives on your Moodle installation.
We test mobile web services and any custom functions against new Moodle core releases and update configuration as needed. Ongoing upgrade compatibility can be included as a standing service.
