It is intended to satisfy a want of those who feel it important to get acquainted with the app for FREE before buying it.

iStudiez Lite limits you to managing:
1 semester
3 courses
5 classes per course
7 assignments
5 instructors
2 holiday periods

NOTE: Push notifications and backup options are not included in iStudiez Lite.

Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the app and (of course!) found it absolutely indispensable to survive your academic epoch, you can upgrade to iStudiez Pro with all your data safely transferred to the pro version from the lite one.

In 1.1.3 we’ve improved Calendar stability, rearranged settings and made some corrections to the Chinese Simplified, Dutch and French localizations.

Following your requests we implemented names for the exams option and added more sounds to choose from when setting up push notifications. Enjoy!

And, we’ve finally translated the app into the Japanese language adding up the localizations of iStudiez Pro to the jubilee number of 25!

More news to come after the holidays…
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

We received some letters with “how to” questions and decided to create user’s guide to facilitate the acquaintance with the app to all who are new to it.

So if you just bought iStudiez Pro and are about to launch it for the first time, you may find it quite appropriate to visit the user’s guide page on our website and take a quick look at how the app can be used in the most effective of ways.

We hope that experienced users of iStudiez Pro will also find some good tips and tricks, especially when it goes about inputting some really complicated type of schedule in the app.
Feel free to leave your comments here, we are open to your advice, as always!

As we can judge by our server dynamics, you guys really needed that push option, so enjoy! And, as always we are open to your sugestions and feedback re the functions of iStudiez Pro. BTW, we’ve already listed some new things to implement in the future updates.  Stay tuned. ;)

]]> http://istudentpro.com/blog/2009/11/istudiez-pro-is-back-to-app-store-welcome-version-1-1-2/feed/ 7 The app is temporarily not available from App Store http://istudentpro.com/blog/2009/11/the-app-is-temporarily-not-available-from-app-store/ http://istudentpro.com/blog/2009/11/the-app-is-temporarily-not-available-from-app-store/#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:47:53 +0000 iStudiez Pro Team http://istudentpro.com/blog/?p=214 Version 1.1.1 was approved today, but unfortunately those who have already updated saw unexpected alert saying the app is pirated…
Please accept our apologies, the whole situation deals with unpredictable side effect of our new crack detection that we had implemented in 1.1.1.
You will not have to pay for the update when it appears on App Store.

To prevent further distribution of iStudiez Pro with this bug we’ve decided to remove it from sales until the fixed version is approved.  We re-submitted version 1.1.1 today and have additionally got in contact with Apple to request fast approval.

NOTE: meanwhile DO NOT remove the app from your devices. All your data/backup will be safe when loading the update.

We apologize again and thank you for your understanding.
