About this app

The Halo Learn mobile app is designed as a companion application for all students and faculty using the Halo Learn Management System (LMS). The primary objective of the application is to provide near real-time push notifications for events identified by the user. This mobile app is designed to keep you connected to your Halo classroom with Halo Alerts, ensuring you stay up-to-date with the latest classroom alerts while on the go. This app is not intended to replace the Halo Learn website.

Once you install the Halo Learn mobile app, be sure to enable Halo Alerts for your account by clicking on the ‘My Halo Settings’ link under the No Halo Alerts message. Students and Faculty can elect to receive several different Halo Alert messages in the mobile app. Both faculty and students can elect to receive alerts when new private messages and new announcements are posted. Halo students can choose to receive alerts when assessment grades are published, assessments are reassigned, and new group collaboration messages are posted for group assignments. Both students and faculty can expect additional alert types to be added later in the year.

All alerts in Halo are opt-in, giving you the flexibility to choose which alerts to receive and on which devices. You can easily adjust your alert preferences directly in the mobile app or on the Halo website. Please note that you must have an active Halo Learn account with GCU or a GCU partner school to use the Halo Learn mobile app.

Ratings and reviews

This app is working again for me, but I had to clear all of the user data for the app in my phone settings to reset it. I hope this helps other users since this is a great tool for keeping in touch with students once you get it working.

The app no longer works. When the app first came out, it worked great. The past few weeks it has not been working the screen is just purple with halo learn written across it. it was great..when it was working hope it gets fixed.

The app is not working. Once I click the Halo widget, it will open to the purple screen and that is all. It does not go any further than that. I noticed this approximately 2-3 days ago. Before this, it was a great app.

What’s new

Improvements
- Added support for the new class color feature in Halo.
- An issue in the Halo Learn mobile app has been resolved, where users with no active classes were receiving an incorrect error message. Instead of the misleading 'Network error' message, users will now see a more accurate message indicating that no active classes were found for their account. This improvement enhances clarity and reduces confusion for users who do not have current class enrollments.
