iStudiez Pro compatibility with iOS 5

We decided to post this as there are lots of complaints about the fact that iStudiez Pro does not work correctly on iOS 5.

In fact, we have already fixed most of the issues related to iOS 5 compatibility.
But the thing is that there is lots of code in iStudiez Pro that was developed by us from scratch (existing application programming interface did not provide generic methods for our purposes) in order to deliver unique user experience to you.
Some things that were developed that time by us now became common in iOS 5, but it means that previous solutions stopped working.

So now when we included new solutions based on iOS 5 they were considered as conflicting with Developer Agreement and the update that we tried submitting was rejected.

Until iOS 5 is released (at least as GM), we will not be able to re-submit the update with iOS 5 compatibility. As soon as iOS 5 is officially out, we will submit the update immediately.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Announcing terrific tool for teachers: iTeacherBook

We have just submitted the new app, this time exclusively for teachers, professors, coaches and all of faculty members in general.

iTeacherBook is a sister app for iStudiez Pro and was developed for iPhone/iPod Touch as a response for multiple requests from teachers who already tried and enjoyed iStudiez Pro.

iTeacherBook not only allows planning a teacher’s schedule and tasks, but also gives an option of tracking attendance of all students, send assignments by email right from the app as well as mark and observe the progress of students for every course and class they attend (grades option).

The app makes it possible to track schedule and progress of students both in real-time mode and post factum in the form of reports in .csv format.

We are proud to announce it here for the first time and hope you guys will help us spread the news among your teachers 😉

You are more than welcome to learn more details here: iteacherbook.com

P.S. The app is now in review and will be available in the App Store as soon as it is approved by Apple.
