  Would Reccomend to All College Students!

  I started using this app during the spring semester of my freshman year, after struggled to keep track of all of my assignments in a hands-off college setting. I am now in my senior year, and still use it religiously, and reccomend it to all college students. I usually spend a few hours at the beginning of the semester inputting all of my asignments from the syllabus. Once I do that, it’s pretty much set for the semester, and maitenance is just checking assignments off, which is weirdly fun! This keeps me organized, helps me to see what my week will be like, and I never forget about an assignment. I also love that it calculates out your grades based on weights - very helpful when your professor and online calculators can’t do that for you. All of the functions that the app offers are easy to use, and I’ve never had any glitches or issues with it. I also love that it auto-syncs to a mobile app! I did see that another user reccommended recurring assignments, and I agree that this would save me some time when inputting things. But, I also think that the lack of this feature doesn’t detract from the overall quality of the app, especially for a one-time $10 payment! I would 100% reccomend this over a paper planner for any busy college student who likes to stay organized. It’s so much simplier, less bulky, and easier to adjust than any paper planner, and has improved my GPA and mental health!

  Sync feature no longer broken!

  I’ve been using this app for the past two years straight. For the majority of the time, it has worked like a charm! It provides a streamline and clean way to organize classes, assingments, exams, holidays, and whatnot. It’s the perfect tool for a student who needs to keep a tidy schedule. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is due to the recently broken sync feature. I use this app on both my iPhone and my Pc and like to keep the data synced between the two. However, recently I’ve received multiple error notifications whenever I try to sync. This is rather annoying as I am not able to access my timeline that I’ve laid out from both of my devices. This wouldn’t be as big of a deal had I not paid $10 for the application on my Windows. If this issue is fixed, I would have no objection to rating 5 stars. But for now, it gets 3. Edit: No longer broken, back up to 5 stars!

  Hands down, this is THE best app for college!

  I love this app and recommend it to all of my friends! I’ve been using it for three years now and it has made my life a zillion times easier (a zillion is a number.. I promise). At the beginning of each semester, I spend a bit of time inputting all of my assignments, grade weighting, and credits for each class. It saves me so much time and energy, I always know what’s due next, and I use it to manage tasks outside of school now, too. I always know where my grades stand (my friends waste so much time trying to calculate theirs). Plus, I’ve only had issues with this app two times in the last 3 years and the customer support team are fast to reply and incredibly helpful. I have this on my laptop, phone, and iPad - it’s WELL worth the few bucks it costs and is invaluable in how much it helps you keep on track of your assignments. Get it. You won’t regret it.

  Best organizational app for college and grad school

  I began using this app in 2013 or 14, can't remember. The semesters I used this app my grades were at least one letter grade higher than semesters I didn't use this app. Its easy to forget about assignments, due dates and when exams are and this app easily lays it out for you. I think this app should be mandatory for anyone in college, grad school or med school. This last update with recurring tasks is awesome! Great for weekly reading assignments and keeping track of prep items for each class period! I do have a new feature request: I think it would be great to "bulk" create exams for a particular class. For instance, I go to a page, type in the info once, then select the dates and have iStudiez autoname the exam like "exam 1, exam 2...." I'm taking two classes, both with labs. Each lecture has 6 exams, each lab has six exams. That makes one class with 12 exams for a total of 24 exams total for these two classes alone. That makes entering these exams one-by-one into iStudiez very tedious and time consuming. I think it would be great to bulk create exams and assignments by going to a page, entering the relevant info once, then selecting the unique dates for these in a single window. Overall! This app is fantastic! Its way better than trying to keep track of your classes by yourself.
