School Assistant by Sun Apps is a simple but powerful school planner app. It allows you to quickly and easily keep track of your homework and tests, manage your schedule, save all your class info, quickly access saved websites, and more.
First, as a student myself, I know how hard it can be to pay for these types of apps. So, School Assistant is 100% free: no subscriptions, no paywalls, no premium features, and no ads! There is a tip jar if you feel like supporting, though (these are the in-app purchases the App Store shows).
Schoolwork:
- Manage your upcoming assignments and tests
- Sort by due date, class, category, alphabetically, or manually
- Add a related class, due date, links, and notes

- View how many assignments/tests you have right from your Home Screen with Widgets
Schedule:
- Keep track of your classes for every day
- Add associated teacher and room information (or, add a link for online classes)
- Automatically switch days based on the day of the week
- Automatically switch between two weeks (great for A/B week schedules)
- Manually switch between up to ten weeks
- See your current class and next class on the Dashboard and with Widgets
Classes:
- A dedicated place to manage all your class info
- Store your teacher’s name and email
- Store a title, class code, links, and notes for each class
- Assign an icon to each class, which also shows in Schoolwork
Apple Watch App:
- Super quick access to your most important information

- Full support for Dark, Tinted, and Clear Home Screen modes
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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hii! This app is great for organizing your schoolwork, homework, schedule, classes, etc. and is pretty easy to navigate. However, some schools like mine don’t allow phones to be used during the school day and that stops me from using the app to its full potential. If that wasn’t a rule I’m sure it would change my school life and organization completely, but moving on, I do have an Apple Watch. The school doesn’t really have a problem with those which is why i was disappointed when I realized this app doesn’t have widgets/stuff like that for Apple Watches. On the Apple Watch, there’s a calendar widget that shows my next events on the calendar app, that I put on my MODULAR watch face (I’m not sure if the widget works on different ones because modular has the most widget options I think) so that I could just look at my watch and there was my next class. However, sometimes the schedule messes up/is on the wrong day since the calendar app wasn’t made for interchangeable school schedules. That’s why I was so excited when I saw that this school app had an option for multiple school day schedules. Basically what I’m saying is, is that it would be awesome if this app had a feature where you could add a widget to your Apple Watch wallpaper/face saying the next class you have. I wish I could add a photo to this review showing what I mean with the calendar widget, but I’m not sure if I can. If this feature does get implemented into the app I’d be so happy! Thank you :)

Hi there, thank you for your review! I totally understand. Complications (what you put on your watch face) from the Apple Watch app is something I want to see as well. In fact, I have plans to completely re-do the Apple Watch app with many new features, including complications. While I don’t have an ETA for that right now, I encourage you to stay tuned for updates!If you have any other questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out at support@sunapps.org!
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.

Hi there,Thank you for your review! I’m happy to hear that you’ve decided to continue using School Assistant. I hear your concerns and you aren’t alone for some of them. So, I think you’ll be happy to know that many of these will be coming with Version 3 this fall! Thank you for using School Assistant. If you have any more questions or comments, please email me at sunapps@dlmconsulting.org.
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.

And finally, and important note about Google Classroom:
Google Classroom is now OPT-IN. This feature is leftover from ~2020 when Classroom was really popular. Currently, it works fine, so I have no real reason to remove it. But no new features will be added and if something breaks in the future, I can’t promise the feature will stay. Please contact me at support@sunapps.org if you have any questions.
