  • Fixed “Sync from Mac” behavior
  • Added Sync to Server command allowing to force sync to the server all the data available in iStudiez Pro for Mac
  • Fixed problem when the app loses data after quitting
  • Fixed GPA calculation based on Percent Grading Scale

IMPORTANT: those users who lost the app data on their iOS devices after updating to version 1.0.4, but still have the data on their Macs will need to use new command Sync to Server. Here is what you need to do:

  1. From the iStudiez Pro menu bar, choose Data
  2. While in Data menu, press and hold Option button on your keyboard
  3. You will see the command Sync To Server appearing in Data menu, click it

This will force sync all the data currently existing on your Mac to the server. After you sync on your iOS devices, you will be able to see all data back there.
ALSO NOTE: this solution will only help those who did not create any new Cloud Sync accounts in iStudiez Pro and who are currently using iStudiez Pro for Mac where all the data is present.
