iStudiez Pro Legendary Planner Reviews

I’ve been using iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner since Spring 2014. This has taken me through 2 bachelors degrees and now into my first two semesters of graduate coursework. For the last few years, there haven’t been very many updates and sometimes I think about how fun it would be if I could customize some colors to iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner, but it doesn’t really matter because iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner is wonderful.

I’m able to calculate my cumulative GPA, I’m able to turn off grades in certain classes so I can calculate my science GPA and my nursing GPA! iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner holds information from every syllabus and course calendar I’ve had since 2014! When my friends ask how an exam went for a class that I took years ago, I go back into iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner and actually tell them what my grade was for a specific exam!

I can’t believe I’ve never written a review for this but here it is. If you’re a student and you take classes, download iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner. If you want to keep track of a class schedule of any kind, download iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner. 5 years later, I’m at the finals period of my Spring 2019 semester and I still love iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner. I refer more to iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner than the actually iOS calendar app.

Great application, all the necessary features are included: grade weights, scheduling, assignments, exams, partner invites, etc. I do wish there was an option for recurring assignments without having to link it to a scheduled class instance.

Assuming this is designed for high school/college/university students, it’s a well created app. However, I do not think the price point for the mobile/desktop apps are fair. In past versions, the developer allowed for synchronizing iStudiez to Dropbox (possibly other cloud storage providers but I can’t recall, but Dropbox definitely was used) so you only had to purchase three mobile version. Which I did... Now, returning to finish my degree, I find that Dropbox compatibility/sync is entirely removed. Forced to login to their credentials, and if you want to sync, you must pay for a subscription. So I can no longer can use the functionality I paid for only a few years ago. And since I’m stubborn and want to use iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner to organize my degree efforts, I sucked it up and got one.

But for students in a country where the price of higher education is so expensive. It’s kind of hard to understand why this would be the pivot. Just my two cents.

I have this for the the Mac, iPad and my iPhone. I have been working on my degree for a year and a half now. All of which has been online classes. While taking online classes you need to be super organized and keep yourself motivated since you don’t have anyone but yourself moving. Some classes I had no due dates for any of my work until the last day of the quarter. With iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner I can make a weekly schedule of all my assignments, exams, quiz’s and due dates. And the great part is it will let you know when you work is due. So in the beginning of the quarter I will copy all the work and due dates from my syllabus and let iStudiez keep me on track. Also iStudiez lets you know all the work you have left to complete. Sometimes it can be 120+ assignments which can be pretty over whelming at times. But it is a constant reminder on what all I have left to do. IStudiez is a great app and I recommend it for everyone. It has helped me tremulously in my journey to getting my degree. It is a must have app for any college student with a heavy work load.

iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner is nice, clean, simple UI. However, the notifications aren’t there for me. When setting a notification for an assignment, you can only set one. It would be so much more effective if you can set multiple notifications for each assignment. I find it too easy to pass by a notification and if I don’t remember to reset it, will forget about it. I have been trained by other apps to set multiple reminders and use snooze features to which has countered my use of this system correctly, or usefully. I also find it strange that when marking an assignment done it immediately asks for a grade which is impossible to log if you JUST handed in an assignment. I haven’t found a way to go back and enter grades once I have them. I also find that I can’t integrate this calendar into my Google calendar so I have to toggle between two calendars when looking up assignments and events. This is not streamlining. I have paid for the pro version but really it has only been useful to me I terms of telling me class locations and times. I could just rely on my Notes and Google calendar apps for that and they are free.

I been using iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner for over 2 years and it’s really useful to add my university courses and schedules. I mainly use it to remind me the class time , professor, and classroom of each course. However, I would like to make some recommendations.
* The grading sister for each semester doesn’t work with college and university grading systems. Y’all need to add a way to add final grades to each course where the letter grading system is applied. A, B, C, D, F
* the notes on the classes need a new update. When I write down notes on a class for Monday and I try to access those notes on the future, it makes me go to the calendar, click on the date, and then it lets me access the notes. Y’all need to make the notes carryover class after class. So I don’t have to go look for a certain date.
* for online classes, there need to be an update where we can add a field specification to add the zoom links for each class. Currently I found a way around and I add the link on the professors information as a website but I think this could be more simple.

I used to pay for the premium version so I could access this on my computer aswell. however, since iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner hasn’t been updated since 2019 I stopped paying cause it wasn’t worth it. Maybe if y’all update iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner more often I’ll start paying for premium again.

I rarely do reviews, but iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner was/is a true game changer for me. The only thing I regret is not having it sooner in my college career! Keeps me super organized providing a VISUAL representation of what lies ahead. Yes it takes time out of your life to input all assignments and every detail from your syllabi, but it’s totally worth it. Calculating my grades through iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner allowed me to see my progress and gave me a piece of mind that I’d never had before. I’m now in grad school and WISH there was an app like this years ago for me in college. Being this organized literally motivates me to get more done and helps with procrastination. Also, the check mark feature for completed assignments is addictive and brings so much satisfaction. 😌

Just one very small suggestion. If we could have a designated place for attachments or links, that would be amazing. Maybe a specific place to upload our syllabi? Just for the OCD people like myself.

The rating is a 4.8/5 stars. I have used iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner for almost 2 years now and it has been a life saver on many occasions! Being a college student, it has been incredibly helpful for keeping track of all my classes and even work schedule. The only reason I did not give a full 5 starts was because I have a couple suggestions that would be awesome if they could be implemented:
- Reoccurring tasks/assignments (I have things I need to do everyday or once a week and it would be nice to not have to manually put it in all the time)
- be able to use multiple lines to describe an “assignment” instead of only one long line.

I totally recommend iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner to any college student who needs a great way to keep track of their classes!

I have been using iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner for 8 years and it always had my back. Every teacher, assignment, and class imputes and used for 13 distinct semesters. You can’t trust your brain to remember every class time but iStudiez sending me notifications and syncing with my calendars made it easy.

Every assignment or test inputed on my phone at the end of class easily synced to all my devices. I would pull up iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner on my computer to ensure I never forgot an assignment. This only happened maybe 7 times total in 8 years because of iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner.

I could easily contact teachers by inputting their email at the start of the semester too. My biggest fear was iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner would stop being updated but the team at iStudiez instead always strived to add more features and make iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner better. They continue to do so and I am now sad to leave iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner because I have officially graduated college.

This is my first review ever. I’m writing it because I want to thank the whole team from the bottom of my heart. You all got me through school just as much as my teachers, friends, and family. Keep changing students lives for the better.

Thank you ❤️

I like to input all tasks for the semester but because the input menu is long enough to require scrolling, it’s very difficult to reliably swipe to change the month. When tapping to pass to the next month, there is also latency meaning you can’t easily tap through. To make this easier, scroll like Apple does or having some sort of natural language processing would make dare inputting less cumbersome. Or maybe having the option of different input methods. The tomorrow button is a nice touch but it seems that the input favors more on-the-go planning as opposed to more methodical planning. The layout and calandre visualization is really nice and overall it’s a very useful app

I’ve been using iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner since I was a freshmen in high school (2014) and it has been the one tool that I’ve consistently used throughout my academic career. I don’t leave reviews much but since iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner has been a part of my life for so long, I thought I should at least give it a review. I use iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner for all things academic from tests and homework to holiday and random to dos (this is a great to do app as well). A feature I would love to see implemented in the future is a way to spread a big assignment into smaller sub “to do’s” that will build up to the due date, like a milestone type thing so that I can keep track of what I have done for the project and what I still need to do before that date.

iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner is absolutely wonderful and is an amazing, simple tool to keep track of the abundance of assignments, papers, and readings I have for school. I’ve tried so many, but this one, in its simplicity and ease of use, is always the one I end up using, from when I was an undergrad to now, a graduate student. Highly recommend paying for the sync function - very useful to sync between your phone, iPad, and laptop!

That said, I do have one suggestion. I’d love to be able to change the date of when I complete an assignment. I’ve found that if I forget to check off an assignment or if I accidentally uncheck an assignment, I have no way to adjust the date that the assignment was set as “complete”. I find it pretty helpful to keep track of how efficient I am on different days, and it’s helpful for me to keep an eye out on when I’ve slacked off a bit too much ;)

All in all, this is a GREAT app. Honestly, it should be more popular than it is, but I have a feeling the name “iStudiez” is no longer ✨aesthetic✨ enough in 2021. 😜

Thanks, developers and team! ❤️

I love iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner!! It helps me track everything and I love being able to sync between all my devices. A few fixes, however: add a section for “tasks” on iOS. I can only get to it on my computer. Also I wish I could tap out of an assignment and have it close instead of always having to click “save”. If I click outside of the details box, it should close automatically, and if I click on another assignment, that assignment box should replace the current box I have open. Would love to see these updates! And maybe even a section for general tasks or to-do’s because I have nowhere to put general things I need to do that aren’t assignments and it would be great to keep them all in one place.

iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner is actually the best I can find among all these school schedule app. All the features built in are versatile and helpful, mostly importantly, it can be synced between all platforms! However, there’s one thing I can’t bear with is that every time you reboot or open iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner on iOS device, you would get few seconds lag and stuck in the screen without being able to do anything, cuz iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner is syncing, sometimes you wanna check out something immediately, but you have to wait until the sync is done!! So I badly request that the sync can be done MANUALLY by option, so I don’t have to be stuck in iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner and can’t do anything for seconds! But needless to say, it’s utterly amazing app!

Here’s hoping the devs hear this; this is THE BEST app I’ve found for managing homework. There’s just one major holdup preventing me from committing to the pro plan... if there were a way to integrate iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner with the existing apps on iOS, I’d gladly pay out for pro. Like, I need my assignments from iStudiez to show up as reminders in iOS, and it’s really dumb I need to have two separate calendars if i want the class integration here but also have my schedule show up in Calendar or Timepage. Basically I need to be able to see my assignments from here on my main calendar app, otherwise it doesn’t work for me. I really want to use this though so I hope it improves in the future!

I absolutely love iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner, it is probably one of the most used apps on my phone during the school year. I love the notifications it sends and how I can put all my yearly assignments in one place. I feel like it helps to keep me organized by having all my classes and due dates in one place.

But some things that I don’t like about iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner are the fact that you cant mark an assignment as complete, you either have to delete that assignment or it gets marked as ‘Overdue’. Another thing I don’t like is the fact that your schedule on iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner doesn’t give you an option to connect to a Google calendar only your Calendar Events can connect to your IOS calendar without even asking.

Title says it all. In my junior year of HS, I noticed a tech-savvy classmate using iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner and he told me about it. At the time, I thought it was overkill for a high schooler (even as a high schooler who was taking a few AP classes), but it seemed like the perfect tool to use in college. I installed it before my freshman year at university and never looked back. Honestly, it was kind of heartbreaking to delete iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner after graduation.

But today, I just realized that since I’m starting grad school in the fall, I’m going to need a way to track my classes and assignments. We’re back, baby.

I love everything about iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner, it keeps me organized plus calculating my grade is just a great feature to have and its also accurate.

Though one thing I would like to recommend, for the assignments to add an option were we can disposition an assignment under “pending” or “waiting for grade” just cause having the alerts give me anxiety, even though I’ve done all my homework on time it makes me feel like I’m forgetting something.... Though that’s just my recommendation beside that like I said I love iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner, and I even have iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner downloaded on all my devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and watch)

I love iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner! It’s so helpful when planning my class schedule and I really enjoy the quick view widget feature. The color coordination and course logos are amazing! I also love you can go as simple or as detailed as you want when customizing courses.

There are a couple of issues I would like to point out. I have issues with the assignments portion of app. The way my classes are set up I sometimes have the same kind of assignments every week (ex: weekly math problems). May I suggest adding a repeat option when creating an assignment kind of like how it is in the Apple calendar when creating an event? I don’t want to take forever adding separate assignments each week of the school year when it’s just the same assignment. Let me know if that makes sense or not, I’m not the best at explaining things in written word.

Also, the grading scale section is confusing to me. Is there a video I can watch or something that shows me how to do it? My school’s grading system is kind of complicated.

Other than those two things, I love iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner so much! Great work! 😁

I’m well-qualified to review iStudiez by now; I’ve been using iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner for 7 years now. Yes, SEVEN! I have also gotten plenty of hands-on experience with all of the organization apps that this competes with - I looked for better alternatives, but this remains the best.

I use on Mac / iPhone, and the syncing is perfectly executed, the support team has been very helpful when I had issues once with a weird data glitch, and for 7 years I’ve continued to recommend this to fellow students.

I paid for the Mac and iPhone app years ago, and it was one of the few app purchases that I would wholeheartedly pay for again / even pay more for.

iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner itself is great, but do not spend the extra money to sync it across all your devices. If I check an assignment off on my computer, it still shows it as I completed on my phone. So on my phone it will say I have several overdo assignments, when in reality they were all completed days ago. If I could go back, I would have iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner on the one device I use the most for school. Besides the syncing problem, I really love iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner ! It is set up in a very user friendly way and it looks nice and clean. For someone who has never really been a huge fan of physical paper planners, I LOVE this!

I just started using iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner for my last semester and I tell you it is very helpful. I wish I had known about this application when I first started college. Everything is nice but the only downfall is when I typed down my notes in one of my courses, iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner didn’t save my notes; and I was already halfway done with my chapter 😭 I don’t know if it’s me or iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner , but I wasted my time typing in my notes and it didn’t get saved. I guess it’s not meant to be saved 🤷🏽‍♀️ but overall great app. 4 stars cause I’m mad that all my hard work typing my notes went down the drain 😂

iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner makes my nerd heart sing. I’m a senior in university and I’ve been using my iPad Pro for most of my school work for three semesters at this point, and iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner is the first planning app that I have really enjoyed using. Flipping through four separate twelve page syllabi three times a day? Not anymore, suckers! iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner functions as my “master syllabus” and my planner all in one. I also work part-time in addition to my full class load, and I have both my personal and work calendars synced up to iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner. I honestly don’t know why iStudiezProLegendaryPlanner doesn’t have more reviews. Color me obsessed.
