As many of you start to ask when is the update and what features you should expect, we decided it is time to share the news. So here is what we prepared for the nearest update to make you love the app even more:
iPhone/iPad/Mac:
- you will finally be able to add grades to your exams
- option to add partners to assignments is enabled again
- added possibility to assign multiple instructors to classes
- added option to assign instructors to exams
- GPA scale for percents added
- we added possibility to assign negative values for your grades (for our users in some European countries and Scandinavia)
- maximum repeat period for a class is extended to 20 days, hopefully this will satisfy those of you who have weird schedules 🙂
- cancelled classes will now sync normally
- previously cancelled classes can be restored or optionally keep cancelled when you make any changes to the course schedule
- BONUS: new icon added to choose from class type icons, also all passed exams will be marked with a cute icon showing the grade received.

- you will now be able to set the due date for assignments for the next class
- we also added separate settings for exam notifications, for your convenience
iPad only:
- you can now add iCal events from iStudiez Pro
- we thought it would be more handy to add events from Overview, so we added “+” button right there
Mac only:
- quick look for class details and notes implemented (available if you double click a class or press spacebar when the class is selected)
- you will also be able to navigate week view using your keyboard
- in Assignments view double click to add assignment
Also, thanks to your comments and reports the following bugs are now fixed:
- notes to classes will no more be lost when changing any schedule details for particular course/class
- settings sync fixed
- overall performance improved
- problem causing occasional events not to show in Calendar (Mac version)
- occasional switch from letter grades to percent grades causing overall grade to be calculated incorrectly (Mac version)
- hitting and viewing overlapping events in Week view (Mac version)
- occasional crashes (Mac version)
Wow, that appeared to be the long list!
Right now we are finalizing some of the above listed features, proceed to overall testing on all devices and then will be ready to submit to the App Store.
UPDATE: iStudiez Pro version 1.5.2 (iOS) and version 1.0.2 (Mac OS) submitted for approval.
If you own both iOS and Mac versions of iStudiez Pro, remember to update both versions before syncing.
