Redirect Links to Default Browser
Example: External links to Wikipedia in an Explanation within the HamStudy app can be exploited by underage students if they search Wikipedia for Google.com, clicking on the Google.com search engine link on the Wikipedia page this allowing access to Google.com search engine within the HamStudy app, which subsequently allows unrestricted access to Internet. ** Redirecting external links to the mobile device’s default browser can eliminate HamStudy liability of any unrestricted access leaks by underage students. **

Richard Bateman AdminVery good info -- did not realize that the browser popup we use would bypass the security settings. it's nice to not have them leave the browser experience, but not worth leaving something which would make schools unwilling to allow the app (and that's aside form the concern of bypassing parental controls without their permission).
This will be done.
