Why should I test it?
For the very same reason as always – you guys are right there, in the battlefield, so all your comments are proven by your sweat and blood 😉

What’s there to test?
Drag & drop within iOS 11 Beta. Oh, you shall love it…

How do I test?
Send us a message in any way you prefer: support email, Facebook message, Twitter, whatever. We will need your Apple ID for TestFlight.

Hurry as we are impatient to get your first feedback…

As the iOS 11 Public Beta is out to taste, most of you might have already installed it.
If that’s so, the better as we have some developments going on regarding iPad version of iStudiez Pro, and we’ve got something to ask of you.

Remember we implemented Split Screen on iPad a while ago? We thought you might also like Drag & Drop, but we need your opinions to understand how exactly you would use it WITHIN iStudiez Pro.
Who would know better than you, in the end?

You are welcome to send us your suggestions as comments to this post or to our support email.
Ideally we wish to be ready with the new features for the back-to-school time.

Thanks a lot!

We do not approve of using the jailbroken devices and here are some reasons:

• Jailbreak contradicts EULA
• Jailbreak is dangerous in terms of viruses and worms (it affects jailbroken iPhones running the SSH app with the default password)
• Jailbreaking you device voids your warranty and you cannot expect any help from Apple if you start experiencing any hardware problems with your jailbroken device.

The above mentioned is not something that we as developers should be worried about as it is your decision and your responsibility. What’s most important is that jailbreak destabilizes your OS and leads to unpredictable performance problems.

Let us put it this way: we really messed it up with 1.3 and 1.3.1, but luckily 1.3.2 which got through approval very fast is stable and secure update. But despite it being stable and secure we still received hundreds of letters to our support with complaints about losing of data and crashes on launch of the app.

We were really surprised as we successfully managed to load on our devices the data backups that were sent to us with such complaints. And then it occurred to us that a jailbreak might not be something that we can just silently disapprove of (our devices are NOT jailbroken, you got it right).

You see, when we hear you lose your data, it makes us really worried about you as we understand how much you rely on iStudiez Pro and how much efforts you put into your studies.

Ok, so we found a buddy with a jailbroken iPod and tried loading one of the backups that we received. Yep, it crashed, all data deleted. Yep, a shock.

It took us a sleepless night to dig out the reason and when we turned the multitask app off, backups started to load normally.

So our solution to users who happen to have jailbroken devices and can’t load backup: restart your device in safe mode and load your data backup (it will load successfully).

That’s it guys. One simple app unapproved by Apple caused such problems for hundreds of people that we care about. Why don’t you just think it over taking into account that OS 4.0 will support native multitasking?

What upsets us the most is a number of negative reviews that were most likely written by users with jailbroken devices and may mislead the others and lower our motivation (which is not happening, but it might have and we are sure you don’t want that ;))…

Wow, finally we let it out, now getting back to finalizing sync feature….

Recently we’ve mentioned that world famous web resources dedicated to reviewing iPhone and iPad apps did some reviews of iStudiez Pro. As soon as we are lucky to be reviewed in many languages, we’ve decided to share the links here (with due respect and special thanks to the authors, of course).

We hope that checking out these links will help those of you who have not yet (for god-knows-what reason) got iStudiez Pro to manage their academics.

First and foremost, Landing Pad has just posted iStudiez Pro screenshot. Thanks guys, we appreciate that very much!

On 26^th of April Smoking Apples published a very comprehensive review in English language by Nick Wood. Thanks Nick, you rock! Same day Giacomo Canal contributed a review in Italian to Iphoneitalia.com and Siquitraki wrote an article in Spanish on the iphonefanatic.net.

Small review in German was published by Von Nicolas on iphone-ticker.de on the 14^th of April, nice comments though.

iStudiez Pro was also mentioned as app of the 1^st week of April on Themactrends.com (Spanish) and on Fr.wikinoticia.com (French). Interesting remark about iStudiez Pro and iPad Calendar was made on thebibyfokshow.fr (French).

And finally, on the 20^th of March we catched a nice review in Japanese published on alternapp.com.

Thank you all guys, we value your attention and will take into account all your comments to make iStudiez Pro better and even more attractive 😉

Can a dedicated app for managing student courses establish its place against all of the generic task managers of the App Store? Read the full review by appadvice.com to find out!

We liked it. Really! 🙂

‘It’s not easy to get back into a daily grind of classes, assignments and activities but a new application called iStudiez Pro is here to help’ – says John Burke who has more than five years experience in blogging about Apple news and rumors, so you definitely should take him seriously.

We are indeed there to help! That’s true, and even more. At the moment we are almost ready with the next version of iStudiez Pro featuring lots of new smart options to keep you guys aswim in the agitated ocean of your academic year.

Sneak peak of the update to be posted within few days!

We would like to tell more about our first app that took six months of hot discussions in order to make a really useful tool for students to handle their academics at all stairs of their education ladder.

From the very beginning we decided that the application must be universal and useable for as much students worldwide as possible. This made us spend weeks studying various academics from colleges, high schools and universities on the web. When we collected all necessary info, our hair stood on end as mixed together it all appeared to be a disaster. So we tried to find some common usuals from education structure of different countries and expand them further based on logic and intuition.

What’s particular about iStudent Pro is that the team grew in quality and quantity since the idea was developing. Architect called for interface design artist who called for copywriter and localizations manager who was then double checked by native speaker and native american students (which means the app survived tests on the battlefield). We also tortured everyone who happened to ask what exactly we are working on by making them test the app and giving their opinions and critical comments (on and on and on until the whole developers team were called nuts and maniacs).

Every time when the app was almost ready (first in December, then in January, then late February and finally end of March) we found it important to add new features or improve already existing. Each and every interface detail is thoroughly thought over and argued about, we wanted our users to feel the app to be natural to their thinking and mentality wherever they might need to use it.

Enjoy!
