Opening a module website within the app when there is a connection issue could previously lock the app: we have added a connection timeout to prevent this.

Where a module has not made content available for the OU Anywhere app, text confirms this (previously it was simply blank).
Some very minor visual improvements.
To ensure compliancy with the new General Data Protection Regulations, we have checked that this app does not leave personal data on your device once uninstalled. Note, however, that your device may automatically back up and retain apps and their data.
