~ Featured by Apple, 9to5Mac, and Macrumors ~ ~ “A+ Apps for Students”, “Apps We Love Right Now”, “23 Apps for 2023”, and more from Apple ~ Over 570K downloads ~ School Assistant by Sun Apps is a simple but powerful school planner app. It allows you to quickly and easily keep track of homework, tests, and your schedule, see and save Google Classroom assignments, 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 - Schedule reminders - Highlight upcoming and overdue schoolwork - Keep an entire archive of your completed schoolwork - View how many assignments/tests you have right from your Home Screen / Desktop 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 Home Screen / Desktop Widgets Classes: - In addition to Schoolwork and Schedule, you can manage your classes with a dedicated feature - Store your teacher’s name and email - Store 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 - View your Schoolwork, automatically sorted into assignments and tests - View your Schedule for any day - View your current and next classes, and how long you have left - Set a custom theme color to match your Watch, band, or outfit - Designed for quick interactions Other features: - Set a custom accent color - Theme the entire app with a color of your choosing - Over 20 app icon choices - Full and automatic data syncing over iCloud - Tight iOS and iPadOS integration with support for features like Slide Over and Split View, iPad cursor, keyboard shortcuts, system sidebars, Home Screen widgets, Dynamic Text, and multi-window support - Support for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro - Designed with quick and easy usability in mind - Full support for Dark Mode and Tinted Home Screens Legal disclaimers for Google Classroom: ©2018 Google LLC, used with permission.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

Best hw schedule app I’ve ever used. And believe me I’ve tried plenty. In others there are annoying ads or subscriptions. But let’s be real for a second. No one can afford to pay a subscription or fee just because the want to be organized paying for those things is a nightmare. But I was literally scrolling through everything and then I was like what the heck might as well try this one. Because the other hw app I was using kept glitching and wouldn’t let me even use it. (It. Was b4 grad) one of the worst apps I’ve ever used don’t get it. But when I tried this app it the worked I literally laughed and then I FaceTimeed my friend and told her all about it. Anyways I’m ranting but love this app so amazing try it and u won’t be disappointed. If I had one thing i would like the creator to add would be able on Mac or as a browser I know it doesn’t work that way but that would be nice so if you could that’s a suggestion and if it is available already sorry for writing this thanks anyway.

Version 4 also introduces a refreshed branding for School Assistant, featuring a new logo and new app icons! The rest of Version 4 will be a little different than past major releases: the other major features of Version 4 will see a staggered release. Be on the lookout for new updates hopefully very soon, as I have a lot more in store for v4! Here’s what’s new with 4.0: - New Liquid Glass design fully optimized for iOS 26 - Redesigned logo and app icons - Dashboard’s interface has been rewritten - The primary Settings interface has been rewritten and made a little simpler and easier to use - New “Classic” alternate app icon choice Bug Fixes - Much improved grid layout experience for Schoolwork, Schedule, Classes, and Google Classroom - Fixed a bug with the setting for enabling or disabling grid layouts - Removed Camera and Add to Photo Library permissions since they are no longer needed since the removal of Scanner - Removed the iMessage Stickers - Fixed bugs with forcing Light / Dark Mode - Removed many of the alt app icons in the interest of time. If there’s one you really wanna see return, send me an email!
