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.

iStudiez Pro for Mac is available in the Productivity category and overnight got to 10^th best selling productivity apps in US Mac App Store and the tendency continues.

Right at the moment we are on the verge of submitting a quick update with minor improvements and bug fixes, as well as expanding localizations of the app.

We would like to say big thank you to all of you who helped with comments, ideas, translation, testing and supported us on our long way to deliver the app to you. We already have much more to give you in the future updates. Follow us in Twitter (@istudiez) or Facebook to stay tuned.

iStudiez Pro for Mac syncs with iStudiez Pro on iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad via the Cloud Sync server. All users of iStudiez Pro version 1.5 will be able to enjoy this feature.

Version for Mac 1.0 is not yet fully localized into all the languages that iOS version of the app supports, but our volunteer translators are now helping us to improve that. Thank you all guys for being with us!

At first we hesitated as soon as we don’t really have experience in featuring apps on international expos, but we were inspired by your support and desire to present the app further to the world, especially to those unlucky ones who somehow happen to be still using paper planners

So we booked a booth in the The Mobile Apps Showcase area and now we are glad to welcome everyone to support us and visit booth 818 – 12 on 27-29 of January, 2011 in San Francisco.

We will reveal some good news for those of you who are planning to attend, so keep an eye on this section of our blog to be the first to know!

Quote from Macworld 2011 official website:

The Mobile Apps Showcase, highlighting the latest innovations from iPad, iPhone and iPod touch developers, debuted at Macworld 2010 and was one of the most popular areas on the expo floor.

We know that unofficially we’ve been keeping you all dangling, but this was because we wanted to make sure that we will eventually deliver unique and integral application. iStudiez Pro for Mac will not only be oriented to support mobile versions of the app, but will serve as totally independent and self-reliable software.

Price, features and other details will be announced later.

Version 1.4.4 is mostly about iPad version. iOS update from Apple is coming in November and we will be prepared with general iOS 4.2 compatibility, including support of multitasking and possibility to view Calendar events in iStudiez Pro.

We also missed Week View for iPad version of the app, so we developed it for this update as well, hope you’ll enjoy

And, something that we should have done long ago – iStudiez Pro will now support shift of schedule after holidays (for A&B weeks and rotating schedules) for iPhone/iPod/iPad.

A few words of general betterments:

• Stability improved
• Minor bugs fixed
• Localizations fixed: Spanish, Italian, German and Chinese Traditional
• Localizations added: British, Catalan (total number of localizations of the app being 29 now! Thanks to all of you who are helping so much with translation and corrections!)
• Fixed occasional bug with dates in October

Added in iPad version
• Page flip
• Balloons on calendar with expanded schedule information

Fixed:
• Sample data notifications
• iCal multiple day events showing in iStudiez Pro (iOS 4)
• Crash while adding/cancelling holidays
• Corrections made to the German localization

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.
