Another great news to share is that iStudiez Pro now being officially recommended by Apple on the Apps For iPhone page. Just choose Apps For Students section and you’ll see iStudiez Pro description with the Make your grade slogan.

Must say, we are really pleased with being recommended by Apple, especially with the nice description that they’ve posted below the screenshot:
“The award-winning iStudiez Pro lets you manage every type of school schedule, keep track of all your assignments, and stay on course for the next big exam. And you’ll always make it to class on time with multiple alarms and push notifications that display on your iPhone no matter what app you’re using.”

That what makes you feel there’s always space to do more…
“Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them” – remember? 😉

We would like to share our joy with you guys, as the news gives us motivation to go further.

iPad sales started in Western Europe on the 28th of May and we are lucky with iStudiez Pro to be featured as app of the week in App Store in Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, UK, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Portugal (and hopefully in more countries, we couldn’t track all).

Such a nice surprise energized us this weekend and we would like to say that we are thankful to Apple for the support and promotion of our app. 🙂

P.S. Now working like mad on desktop and sync…

Yes, it is grades and GPA and we are glad we can finally officially announce that this option will be available in iStudiez Pro once version 1.3. is approved by Apple.

Foreseeing your questions we would like to highlight the following:

• Grades option is based on assignments (support of weighted/non-weighted assignments)
• GPA calculator is available for current and past semesters
• Grades option supports grade scales most used worldwide (letter grades, percents, points)

Grades option has even more of tasty things for you to try, just wait for it to come 😉

We have also improved iPad version stability as well as fixed bug causing crash on calendar and  made corrections in localizations (Korean in particular).

During the weekend we’ll complete the user guide with detailed explanation of how grades option works and how it can be adjusted to the education system in your school, college or university.

P.S. We have also update iStudiez Lite with grades option, so those of you who waited for grades option to purchase the app, can try It with lite version first.

We really did not expect it to appear so quickly, it’s been several days only since we’ve submitted.

Our most heartfelt thanks to Apple!

Of course, you’ll be able to lay your hands on iPad version later, for very obvious reasons.

But we really hope that in the meanwhile it will be a pleasure for you to explore novelties in the update of the app for iPhone/iPod Touch.

Go for it 🙂

P.S. We’ve received huge of requests to reveal screenshots for the iPad version.

So you got us. Here is the screenshot from the iPad version, enjoy 🙂

There was no other way to make iStudiez Pro good for iPad other than completely change the interface. So we did it. Moreover, we dare say we like how we did it. Hopefully Apple agrees and you’ll be able to enjoy it since April 3rd 🙂

Now, read and rock: for all of you guys who have already bought iStudiez Pro for iPhone/iPod Touch, iPad version goes for free!

Additional bonuses pack for version 1.2 includes:
• Palette range to mark your courses is expanded with 5 additional colors
• Current semester now shown on top when creating an assignment
• Option to manage assignments inside each course is added
• Option to customize texts on Today screen added
• Option to save your preferences within your data backup
• Option to customize default due time push time for assignments
• Option to alter multiple dots in the Calendar with one single dot
• Loading data backup improved
• Some new icons added

We also fixed:
• Crash while turning off notification for assignment
• Bug when scrolling the list of assignments
• Crash while importing data from Exchange Server

Now, where are grades? That’s what we are sure you’ll ask once you launch the app.
But let us tell you that grades are coming immediately after our beta testers and translators give us green light.

So sleep well and dream of version 1.2. to play with on iPad 😉

To make it easier for those of you who are not in favor of quick decisions, we’ve created iStudiez Lite version. 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.

Yep, that’s true, iStudiez Pro now costs 0,99$ which is 65% off, starting Friday 27, November, the sale will last this weekend only!

Those who have not yet bought the app, here’s your chance to finally do it!
More good news to follow soon 🙂

Now, all’s fine, the app’s on App Store, the long craved for push notifications feature working perfectly, no more absurd accuses of ‘piracy’ that some of you experienced with 1.1.1 (once again, sorry for that!)

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. 😉

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.

Dear all!

Version 1.1 has just been finally approved by Apple and now is available in AppStore. You are welcome to send us your feedback regarding the new features etc.

IMPORTANT: Push notifications do not work at the moment. We understand that it is frustrating for you, but please believe it is no less frustrating for us.
The build we test and the build we submit for Apple’s approval are two different things. So push worked perfectly when we submitted our build for approval and then, we guess, some conflict in the code appeared. We are investigating the issue.

P.S. Please don’t hurry to rate negatively on App Store, this is a force majeure and we will do our best to deliver solution asap.

Thank you!
