![]() ![]() IStudiez is so far probably the only app that is a must-have on my iPhone. The combination of class time alerts and the Today screen make it a lot easier to get to know my new schedule. The app also offers Notification alerts, telling you when your class is about to start or if an assignment is due soon with a popup message and customizable sound. IStudiez Pro for iOS and Mac offers a simple and relatively stable synching platform that will push changes made on one device to all your other devices, so you can, for example, add assignments on your iPhone after class, then sit down at your Mac and review what homework you need to work on that night. It’s a wonderful way to get a quick at-a-glance overview of what you need to do. This section displays any and all classes, calendar events, exams, or due assignments for the day. While comparatively simple compared to other aspects of the app, the “Today” view will probably be your most-used part of application. By default, this view shows only the class meetings, exams, and assignments due that you’ve entered into the app, but in the settings you can actually enable the app to display events from the standard system calendar, making this one view a full-on replacement for the built-in Calendar app. The calendar view is incredibly useful, showing both a monthly calendar view and a list of your classes and assignments below that strongly resembles the built-in iOS Calendar app. If you’re lucky enough to have a professor that clearly lays out homework due dates ahead of time, it’s a great idea to populate the Assignment list at the beginning of the semester, so you can get a clearer idea of what the busiest times of your semester will be. that way I can quickly enter any new assignments into the app the moment my professor assigns them, rather than trusting myself to remember to jot the assignment down later. I found it useful to keep the Assignment screen as my frontmost app during classes (or in my case, meetings). For me, this is the most important part of the application. You can even set reminders of the dates of your exams – I highly suggest entering these dates into the app as soon as you see your syllabus, which you’ll inevitably loose.Īs I said before, one of the main draws of iStudiez is to track your homework assignments and due dates. iStudiez allows you to title the class, and also to specify what days of the week (and what time of the day) the class meets on, along with building and room numbers. Here, you can add in details about individual classes and organize them by semester. Upon the beginning of a new semester, you can add all your classes under iStudiez’s “Planner” section. IStudiez Pro aims to be a digital student planner, letting you track which classes you’re taking, your Professor’s and T.A.’s contact information and office hours, your homework assignments and due dates, and even your grades. ![]() This wonderfully designed and executed application by the aptly-named iStudiez Group offers a powerful set of class-scheduling and assignment-tracking tools that help people like me – who are generally bad at remembering due dates or remembering exam dates – get a grasp on their scholastic career. The app that I give so much credit to? iStudiez Pro. I’ve recently tried out a great app that I can see being especially useful in academic work. There are many iOS and Mac applications that can serve an indispensable part any student’s collegiate success. As a college student, I didn’t have access to the huge number of great apps now available to assist my educational endeavors (in fact, I didn’t even have an iPhone or iPad – they didn’t exist yet!).
