A student’s life is quite similar to a high rank corporate executive who has to multitask a wide range of activities in order to achieve his day’s goals. To ease this madness to keep up with so many things in a day there is a cool app that's quite simple and is user friendly.
The app is unbelievably useful and one of the core functions of the app is the schedule feature that allows one to import their recurring timetable for faster viewing later.
The app has got a very nice user interface that promotes easy navigation. You can even tweak the application to accommodate work, clubs or anything else done outside of the class.
The easiest part while using the application is that it lists everything you have scheduled for the day that you haven’t completed. Like it appears on the first screen so you know what is going on without having to go through many menus. The app has nicely integrated the iCal so you don’t need to go into iCal on your iPhone/iPod Touch to see the calendar events, everything in iCal is viewable in this app with details.
The app’s unique built-in planner lets you input and easily manage all types of schedules including classic, alternating (A & B weeks), rotating and block schedule. Apart from entering most common course details, you can also add instructors with all related information such as office hours, affiliation, phone number and email address. You can also add holiday periods and even cancel separate classes in case of outstanding events.
A special section of the app is dedicated to keep track of your homework and assignments. Whatever is the way you are used to manage your tasks, you will find it all in iStudiez Pro. You can manage your assignments by date or by course or by priority or sort them into pending and completed. For group work, you can also add a partner to any of your assignments (either choose from contacts or create a new contact right inside the app).
The app has got great design and offers a clean and fresh approach. The design is setup like a book in the iPad version and there are enhancements even on the smaller screen in the iPhone counterpart.
The app offers a lot of additional features that hidden away in the settings. You can set custom messages that display when there are no classes or events.
Overall, iStudiez is a nicely designed and functional app with a great UI to back it up. I advise this app to students, professors, teachers or parents to keep track of classes/work/activities. Customization is great with this application and for those who have had issues getting other applications to adjust to their lives should have no problem with this one.
