School Assistant – Planner 4+

Please Read!!

I. Am. In. A. Romantic. Relationship. With. This. App. This is definitely the best planner for school, especially for people on a budget, or who don’t like to spend on apps. Although, it would be easy to leave a tip to this amazing developer! Thank you so much! This is like, my *counting in fingers and toes* 12th app of its kind to be downloaded on my iPad. It’s however, the only one that’s survived my onslaught of criticism. Mostly for being insanely pricey. What is up with that?! This app has amazing features. I discovered it today, and will use it for my upcoming school year and homework and test schedule. I am especially happy about the watch version, as I can’t bring my iPad to school 😂. I plan to extensively use the schedule feature, as my new science teacher is rumored to lock kids out of the classroom if they are late. I can never seem to remember to use an agenda, so this comes in handy when I forget some specific terms of an assignment. Only suggestions are that this app can use other learning tool apps, like canvas or seesaw. I know it would be hard, but it would be really helpful for younger kids who use this app! Thanks so much for your creation of this wonderful planner and schedule app!! P.S I give 6/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hey there,

Thank you for this amazing review! It really made my day. I’m so happy you’re loving School Assistant!

Excellent App, But Missing Some Features From Competitiors

I was using myHomework and decided to try School Assistant. My experience with School Assistant for the past few weeks has been great and I haven’t had any problems. I love the look and feel of the app and the lack of ads. But I’m missing some features coming from using myHomework. I wish you didn’t have to input your classes in the Schedule tab separately from the classes in the Schoolwork tab. I miss being able to see when assignments are due by looking at a calendar. I could tap May 20th and see what assignments are due that day. I also think there needs to be a “Completed Assignments” section. While I don’t think it should keep completed assignments forever, there should be some amount of backlog. I also think we should be able to sort assignments by due date/time and by class. I usually have to manually order them to the closest date or time. I think other assignment categories would be helpful. Perhaps for projects and papers. I’d also like to see a widget that combines the Schoolwork Amount and Next Class Widget. I also think other combinations are would be great. Lastly, I’d like to see other integrations besides Google Classroom, like Canvas for instance. Despite all of this, I’m going to continue to use this app over its competitors. Keep up the good work.

Great app, Extremely useful

I love this app and think its great to use and its very simple and easy to get the hang of. i love all the customizations you can do and its organized very nicely so i dont get confused. Though i love this app and what its been able to help me with, i do have a few complaints that i think would help make the app even better. One issue i found is that when i set a reminder for a certain class, i cant see that reminder until it reminds me. Theres no tab where i can see all the reminders ive set and therfore i often find myself making 3 reminders for the same class on the same date without realizing ive already created a remnder for it. I also wish there was a way to see completed assignments like others have mentioned. Lastly, i wish we could actally see the assignments needed to be competed in the widget for "assignemnts and tests" that way i wouldnt have to click and go into the pap to see what i have to complete. Other than that, This app has been such a lifesaver for me. Excited for more updates and happy to have found it.
