iStudiez Pro Blog 2.0 » Development http://istudentpro.com/blog Latest news from the iStudiez Team Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:43:26 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Version 1.6 – If Crashes on Start http://istudentpro.com/blog/2012/04/version-1-6-if-crashes-on-start/ http://istudentpro.com/blog/2012/04/version-1-6-if-crashes-on-start/#comments Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:51:05 +0000 iStudiez Pro Team http://istudentpro.com/blog/?p=939 We would like to quickly address the issue that has been reported by some of you after version 1.6 was released.

If after updating to version 1.6 you experience instant crash on start, try the following: change date settings of your device and set up any date when you don’t have any events in your iCal. Then launch iStudiez Pro and turn off the option when iCal events show up in iStudiez Pro. Then change date back again.

We plan to submit update with fix one of these days.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

P.S. DO NOT reinstall the app, just wait for the update.

As for us, we continue working to improve iStudiez Pro so that you can enjoy it even more.

We have just submitted version 1.6 which of course is optimized for Retina display on the new iPad. We’ve also finally added Copy & Paste option for semesters, courses, classes, exams and assignments (both single and multiple selection).

The other new things include:

  • Option to select multiple assignments in order to delete or copy them
  • Pinch zoom gesture to see brief and expanded content in Assignments list view.
  • Option to send data backup as a file
  • Week numbers now correspond to ISO

Besides, we’ve also fixed:

  • Bug when the app would sign out of cloud sync account if launched not being connected to the Internet
  • Crash on editing time frames for holidays
  • Problem causing birthdays to be occasionally shifted one day back/forward
  • Occasional interface glitches and refresh related issues
  • Hungarian, Italian and Traditional Chinese localizations

The update is now waiting for approval and we hope it’ll not take long.

More features are in development, we’ll announce soon.

Pinch Zoom

Have a good day everyone!

UPDATE: iStudiez Pro 1.6 now available in the App Store.

  • 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:

  1. From the iStudiez Pro menu bar, choose Data
  2. While in Data menu, press and hold Option button on your keyboard
  3. 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.

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
  • Fixed day change refresh
  • Fixed improper ordering of courses in Planner
  • Fixed bug preventing input of decimal credits
  • Improved drag & drop of classes in Planner
  • Improved assignments list layout
  • Minor improvements in localizations

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.

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.
