Beauty in Details: iStudiez Pro Spring Update

Hi again to everyone, spring is in blossom and we are inspired to bring you some nice features in the new update of iStudiez Pro iOS and OS X. So let’s see what’s in there to explore:

First of all, we’ve worked a lot to make Week pane more flexible and improve its usability. Now you have the ability to increase/decrease Week pane font size and ability to hide event types, option to set start/end time for a day and option to select all-day events and view details (OS X). Oh, and we have updated Week pane appearance on iPad. With this update you can zoom Week pane to see small events in detail, on all iOS and OS X devices.

Also, weekends are marked in grey color, and events display their start time (OS X only). The week number is shown when the week is selected on iOS devices.

There is a number of other small touches that we hope will make you happier:

OS X:

  • Option to add classes, exams and holidays from Overview
  • Option to edit custom class types
  • Copy&Paste option added in Planner for semesters, courses, classes, exams and in Day pane for assignments
  • Added assignments badge in toolbar
  • Preferences pane redesigned
  • Keyboard navigation improved

iOS:

  • Option to add holidays from Calendar on iPhone and from Day/Week pane on iPad

There are some fixes as well:

OS X:

  • Fixed backup saving and loading
  • Fixed issue causing application to show notifications for cancelled classes
  • Fixed various performance issues

iOS:

  • Fixed appearance in Week pane of event title and subtitle
  • Fixed issue with iPhone calendar in Thai localization
  • Fixed various performance problems

So far that’s it. We are now concentrating on some things and we are sure most of you will love it, but hush on this until late summer…
We keep you updated!

Now supported: Notification Center in Mountain Lion and Retina Display in MacBook Pro

iStudiez Pro for Mac update 1.0.9 has just been released to the App Store. To tell you the truth, we wanted to make this update even bigger, but there were some objections from the App Store review Team, so we will need to make some corrections and then introduce to you some really cool new options.

So far, what’s new:

  • Option to make data backup
  • App interface enhanced for the MacBook Pro with Retina display
  • Notification Center in Mountain Lion (now you can be notified of your upcoming classes and pending tasks and not be late with either)

We also fixed some grade calculation issues and improved stability and general app performance.
BTW, update for mobile version of iStudiez Pro has been submitted and is now waiting for review.

More news coming soon.

UPDATE: iStudiez Pro mobile version 1.6.2 is now available in the App Store.

iStudiez Pro updates submitted both iOS and Mac versions

We decided to release a quick update before holidays and hope that it’ll be approved by Apple before the whole team goes on holidays.

Most importantly, the updates include A&B and alternate days schedule shift after holidays, fixes of random syncing issues, customization of date for assignment notifications and some more improvements of general performance of the app.

Also, for iOS version the School Bell notification sound is added 🙂

Update: both versions are available on the App Store as of Dec 20, 2011.
NOTE: you need to update both iOS and Mac versions in order to get Cloud Sync work properly.
