After the latest update we bumped into the bug when users reported creation of long-lasting semesters caused the app to freeze. Short-lasting semesters could be created with not problem at all.

Funny that we could in no way reproduce this on our devices. We got to the idea that it might be territory related bug when we paid attention to the names of the users who sent us their complaints: after short investigation it appeared that all of them are located in the countries of Latin America (Brazil, Peru, Chile). Some more investigations, and we found out it was related to the daylight savings specifics in the Latin America.

There were more bugs reported by you and we appreciate all your comments and valuable input. So, we fixed it and submitted critical updates for both iOS and Mac versions.

iPhone/iPod and iPad version:

• Fixed occasional crash on start after recent update
• Fixed crash while creating regular schedule
• Fixed crash related to overnight performance of the app
• Fixed occasional crash while syncing
• Fixed occasional crash in Calendar

Mac version:

• Fixed crash related to overnight performance of the app
• Fixed crash while creating regular schedule
• Fixed occasional crash while syncing
• Fixed weekdays control view for Lion

NOTE: if you experience any of the problems described above, do not delete the app, just wait for the update.

UPDATE: iStudiez Pro for Mac version 1.0.3 and iStudiez Pro 1.5.3 now available in the App Store.

This is a minor update that only includes fixes of most annoying bugs that you complained about. So we fixed:

• Ghost notifications
• Crash while importing instructors from Contacts
• Crash while viewing/tapping holidays in Calendar
• Bug with delayed refresh of App Icon Badge

We’ll of course include some interesting new options in our next updates, we listed all the requests that you have sent to us so far in the order of preference and will do our best to introduce the most crucial and attractive first.

Here it is finally! We have just released and submitted to Apple’s approval the first critical update of iStudent Pro. 🙂

So what’s new?

• general performance improved
• occasional crashes while editing Courses FIXED
• classes repeating every two weeks now are reflected correctly on the Calendar view

Just a quick reminder that it usually takes Apple about a week to review and approve changes, so please be patient.

We’ll inform you as soon as update appears on AppStore.

P.S. No need to say the update is free of charge for those who already bought the application.

Dear iStudent Pro users,

Recently we’ve received a number of letters from you where you evaluate our application highly and we appreciate your feedback very much.

For those of you who encountered problems caused by occasional crashes of the app (yes, we know it’s boring), please note that we have already figured out what was the issue and right now we are working hard to fix it and release the respective free update.

We will notify you here in our blog and of course through AppStore when the update is finally available.

We thank you for your patience and apologize for the inconvenieces caused by crashes.
