Moodle Mobile 2.9 release notes

Release date: 29th February 2016

New features

Glossary - users can browse glossary entries (requires Moodle 2.6 onwards with the Moodle App additional features plugin installed).
Course and activity links can be followed using the app. For example, a link to a glossary entry will open in the app, or a link to a different course will show that course in the app. This allows any activity to be displayed.

Glossary with options
