By iStudiez Team March 8, 2011

It took quite fast for Apple to approve it, thanks!

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 is $9.99.

Any chance for a windows version :-)? Looks great and I’d been so keen to get my hands on it!!

Brovo, guys, bravo.

I commend you your ability to fabricate such an inherently useful application.

Congratulations!

(Relief) Good job, the App looks great! I have to agree with some of the others. I’m not a gamer, but I looked forward to this as if I were a gamer looking forward to a new version of (insert favorite game here!)
Now to put the next three semesters worth of classes in to the program!
Vincent Tse

Any way there’ll be a trial version? I want to know how well this works on a Mac before buying it, compared to just sticking with using it on my iPhone.

bugs:
1. apointments on sunday (from iCal) won´t be shown in week view.
2. You can add teachers, but you can´t erase them.

please improve the layout for future versions… some animations will be nice.
Klaas

Inmeadiatly bought the application, It is a must for my study 😉
MasterMic

Yes! Buying it tomorrow. By the by, this company would get another $10 from me if a Windows version were available.
Alex

Gorgeous!!! I’ve downloaded the wonderful app today and it’s great! All in all gorgeous, but what I miss is adding grades extern. What I mean is: You need to create an task and complete it to add a mark into the grading system. Thats not the best way to do it. It would be better if you split these features!
Marco Hanisch

Nice!!! Thank you Guys!
Leon

It’s doing great job so far! thank you guys. And I think this software can work with fullscreen mode in the future! please upgrade this feature in the next update
Bella

Hi.. I really like the App but it would be great if there would be the possibility to select which calendars from iCal to sync into iStudiez Pro.. When just everything is synced it is a big mess.. But I would love to have some of the data in my iStudiez Pro overview.
Cheers =)
ehssan

A good first version, but it already crashed once 😉
The German translations are not yet complete, if you need someone to complete these phrases, I could do it.
sven

bug 3: translation errors in german version

hey guy´s I found 3 bugs in half an hour…
most anoying: the two I posted above.

Please FIX!
I thought you had beta-testers???
are they drunken 😉

9.99 is a bit much for a piece of buggy software…

Great of you guys. Please don’t forget the Windows version or at least an Outlook integration. That would be great. I would pay for it immediatly.

And could we have some screenshots for those of us who are poor please?

7,99€ Nice!
Matt

Great work :)! It would be good if you could show the location of the class in the week view. It would be great if you could also add a colour or icon when an assignment is due, both on the week view and on the calendar (at the moment, the day changes to bold but this is hard to see).

Help me!

I’m running Mac OS X Lion, and I can’t get cloud sync to work. I sign it, it reports that it’s synced, but I see nothing on the Mac app, whereas my iOS app has synced the data to the cloud already.
Daniel

Absolutely too buggy to have just spent 9.99 on! I have been waiting for this for so long excitedly, you should have told us it was in alpha!!! This is an unacceptable release, please update quickly. The application completely screwed up the grades for all my previous semesters on my iPhone so that I had to redo the grade distributions for everything! It will not use the letter grades for all classes and refuses to show the letter grade for some, instead showing a percentage and incorrectly calculating GPA, ridiculous! Was very excited, now very disappointed.
Researcher

At last! Not buggy for me.

Suggestions: it would be great if you could add a search function as well as when adding an “Instructor” from the home screen of the app, to be able to connect him/ her with a specific class. Moreover, it would be superb if somehow i would be able to import or download a future semester with all the data (classes, instructors) directly through a server of via a file that a friend of mine who has already created that semester.
Daniel

Umm, it seems my comment was not approved? I simply pointed out the very serious and unacceptable bugs in the grades system and the fact that upon installing the mac app, much of my information on my iPhone got screwed up and much of the grades information was lost. The app does not retain the GPA information (which letter grades go with what GPA), as saving and then reopening the window shows that the changes are gone. This causes many problems and is not acceptable for a 10 dollar piece of software out of beta. I have finally restored my phone information and made a backup, and it is clear that when I sync again (which I have tried), from a blank mac app (information erased) it screws up my grades calculations, percentages, as well as letters (perhaps because I have custom grades). So now I cannot use the mac app at all.
Ross

Great app!
Only problem is that the calendar won’t sync with iCal just yet, which I have synced with google mail over microsoft exchange. It syncs iCal fine over the iPhone app, just not the desktop version.
Also, there should be an option to delete your cloud account on istudiez, not just switch it to another.
Also, it doesn’t seem to sync the coloured dots when I change them on either platform.
Overall very happy 😀
Patience

ABOUT *******’ TIME!
& Thank you very much.
Peter

Thanks, even if the price in Swedish currency “krona/kronor” makes the application a little bit more expensive than the announced $9.99 (costs more like $11.83 here in Sweden).

Some of the language that is supposed to be Swedish within the application, looks a lot more like Norwegian or Danish than Swedish.
Zach

Great work guys, I immediately bought your app, when I read the tweet this morning. Have waited a long time for this, and overall I am satisfied. However I do have some points to make.

BUGS: When I’m creating a new instructor, and I clicked to the square where we are supposed to at their photos, and the popup titled ‘Buddy Pictures’, and if I click on the red ‘X’ button to close the popup, the application won’t let me do, or click on anything not even quit. And needed to be force quit.

SUGGESTIONS:
-Creating class from the calendar or overview view.
-Don’t check the checkbox “Repeats Every __ weeks” by default when creating class. (I never have a periodical class as my timetable is different each week. It’ll be annoying to uncheck it everytime especially when I need to create at least 12 classes a week)
-Give possibilities to copy and paste a class setting (like time, instructor, type of class, icon, place) where we need only to change the time and date. (again, I need to create new classes every weeks, so entering the same information again and again is really really agonizing)
-When creating a new class, don’t set the start time at the current time. Give a default setting. People usually don’t add their class 5 minutes before the class starts but at home during weekends on in the evening after class.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:
-Better regional settings. Not every country uses AM/PM and the MM/DD/YYYY date format.
-And other stuffs like Matt suggested.
sven

what´s about the two other bugs?
Timo

Hey, just bought the app, it looks good. One little things however, you can’t set courses o be worth ‘0.5 credit’ it will say the value is too small. All my courses are either 0.5 credit or 1 credit.
Timo

Also: I can’t seem to name the Assignment Weights (I can set the value, but not the name).
Ross

I think the app is very promising, but some improvements are necessary.

I used the app for over an hour and it crashed five times; it is not stable at all. It seems like syncing could be one thing that causes crashes. In addition, it seems that no data is saved until the app exits, in the event of a crash, all data is lost.

Also, how does one enter exam scores? I have been unable to figure it out.

I would be nice if assignments could be checked as “complete” but not graded. Most of the time I don’t get assignments back right away; however with iStudiez, I must either enter a temporary score, or let it become “overdue” until I get it back graded.
Mimi

EXCELLENT!!!!
I was wondering, would it be possible to print from the app, like a week view with assignments?
It would be helpful because I can post that on the fridge at home for my family to be aware of my schedule. If that’s possible I can avoid maintaining two schedules or handwriting it.
Mary

Old customers who already bought the iphone/ipad version should get it for free
Harrison

Awesome, bought immediately.
BTW, week shift seems to be broken since cloud sync update?
Michael

How do I get all of my data on my iphone to show up on the application? I tried syncing but it isn’t showing up.
michael

Never mind I figured it out! Yay!
Daniel

Maybe I was a little angry before. The app is actually very good, but please fix this bug!

Why the hell do you think you deserve to get a new product for free? You bought the iOS version for a certain price which did not include any other products. If you weren’t happy with it you shouldn’t have bought it. Do you expect coffee shops to serve you free drinks for life because you once bought a muffin there? Besides, it’s not possible to offer upgrade pricing in the Mac App Store.
Jason

Buggy using Lion! Sync doesn’t work using Lion…anyways a wonderful app, and worth the cash.

  Jason, you know Lion is beta.
Nathan

I have only three suggestions to improve the app. Otherwise it’s wonderful!

1. Make it possible to enter grades for exams.

2. Make it possible to mark assignments as “Done” without entering the grade when I have the grading system turned on in the app. Otherwise, even if I complete my assignment, I cannot mark it as done and the assignment must appear as “Overdue” until the professor gives me back my grade, which can take a long time.

3. The app should not completely exit when I click on the red X button. Like most other apps, I’d prefer it to run in the background and show a little light under it in the dock.
Timothy Mueller-Harder

I wasn’t expecting to have to pay $10 for it! I love this app, but… fat chance.
Sorry.
Eng

how do you sinc it with your iphone one? I plugged it in and it doesnt sync? I joined cloud but i don’t know what to do?

@Nathan
Why not just hide it? Command-H is your friend…
Jason Martin

Yes, I’m very aware that Lion is beta. Luckily, I don’t really need it on my Mac running Lion. I placed it on my MacBook air, and it works perfectly. Thank you.
Annie Wan

Hi, I just bought iStudiez Pro for my mac and it works perfectly! thank you very much (:

However, I would hope that for the Mac version, there would be some new features. It would be SO helpful if we could add notes on the overview page because sometimes you don’t want to create a new assignment, but just a little reminder to do something for class. If that’s added, it would be greatly appreciated! (:
Saskia

Hey, thank you very much for implementing sync and creating a desktop version! I have of course already bought iStudiez Pro for my iPhone – is there a way to re-use this license for the Mac version?

Regards
Derrick

Is there a way to create weekly repeating assignments?

  Derrick, not so far.
Ian

Do I have to buy it on the mac app store if I have the mobile version?
- https://istudentpro.com iStudiez Pro Team
  
  Ian, yes Mac version goes separately.
Caden

Please include the ability to add notes from a Mac. This would be so helpful.
matt

I am having trouble with your program. I used it last semester and it worked great. I put in my classes and it synced to ical instantly it was great. This semester however i am having problems. Istudiez is not syncing and its driving me nuts any suggestions?
ana

Recently I’ve been having problems with the app on my mac. I open the application and three seconds after it closes automatically. I tried to erase it from my mac and download nuevamene, but the problem persists. please help!
