The app only shows the file download option, and no description.

Current CMS App vs Official Moodle App:


Marked as Low Priority as even the Moodle Website doesn't implement this, so I guess we'll be safe :P
The Moodle website does support this. But the onus is on the teacher to choose whether to display the description on the course page or not. A student may never know there is a description unless they specifically view the page of the module. However, the Moodle app does not care about this setting and instead chooses to show an intermediate display.
Our app shows the description selectively (i.e if it's visible on the main page of the course, it will also be visible on the app). However, unlike the Moodle app, since there is no intermediate page on our app, it will never be visible. This can result in students missing out on important details (and the expectation has always been professors don't know how to use Moodle effectively). For that reason, the app should show the description if it has been set, irrespective of whether it is visible on the main course page on the website or not.
Marking this as high priority.
