We decided to release a quick update before holidays and hope that it’ll be approved by Apple before the whole team goes on holidays.
Most importantly, the updates include A&B and alternate days schedule shift after holidays, fixes of random syncing issues, customization of date for assignment notifications and some more improvements of general performance of the app.
Also, for iOS version the School Bell notification sound is added

After most of you updated to iOS 5, we have received quite a number of letters with complaints that notifications and/or badge in iStudiez Pro were no longer working. Most likely you just need to double-check your settings. Here is what you need to do if you do not see your notifications anymore:
Double-check the settings in iStudiez Pro.
Go to Today > Info page > Settings > Notifications and make sure this option is turned ON
Go to Today > Info page > Settings > App Icon Badge and turn it ON
Open Settings application on your device (please do not confuse with settings within iStudiez Pro) > go to Notifications > iStudiez Pro > Turn ON Badge Icon and Notifications
Re-launch iStudiez Pro
iStudiez Pro Settings
iOS Settings
If in both places you have it turned ON and you still have a problem, please write to our support mail, we will do our best to help you.
The update includes long craved-for iOS 5 compatibility, and we are glad that we finally are able to satisfy your requests. We hope that everything works, but in case there are some lacks in compatibility, we will address them all gradually. So, in details:
Added:
iOS 5 compatibility
Overnight events to be shown in Week View
Fixed:
Problem when current events disappeared from Today view on iPad
First we would like to apologize before those of you who experienced problems with sync in previous version of the app. Here is what we’ve done to address existing issues:
Fixed “Sync from Mac” behavior
Added Sync to Server command allowing to force sync to the server all the data available in iStudiez Pro for Mac
Fixed problem when the app loses data after quitting
Fixed GPA calculation based on Percent Grading Scale
IMPORTANT: those users who lost the app data on their iOS devices after updating to version 1.0.4, but still have the data on their Macs will need to use new command Sync to Server. Here is what you need to do:
From the iStudiez Pro menu bar, choose Data
While in Data menu, press and hold Option button on your keyboard
You will see the command Sync To Server appearing in Data menu, click it
This will force sync all the data currently existing on your Mac to the server. After you sync on your iOS devices, you will be able to see all data back there. ALSO NOTE: this solution will only help those who did not create any new Cloud Sync accounts in iStudiez Pro and who are currently using iStudiez Pro for Mac where all the data is present.
Since the release of version 1.0.3 we received numerous letters from you. Most were all about optimization of the app for Lion, but there were also some other issues that needed our attention. So we analyzed your feedback and worked to implement most claimed options and fix most common crashes.
The update 1.0.4 is already submitted for approval, now waiting Apple’s feedback.
What’s new:
Enhanced for OS X Lion: full screen support, basic restore (app will open where you left it)
Week view now supports overnight events as well as events that start before 4 a.m.
Data is saved to disk automatically when any change is made in the app
Added alert message to prevent occasional delete of courses and semesters
Fixed and improved:
Fixed synchronization of cancelled classes and exams
Fixed swapped actions for “Cancel Classes” and “Keep Cancelled” buttons
Fixed problem causing exams to be duplicated on several days in Overview
