Let me know what you might like to see!

Please contact me at support@sunapps.org if you have any questions. ### 4.0 — 2025-09-15 Welcome to School Assistant Version 4!

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.

Read the release notes on the Mac App Store for more details! - Schoolwork now groups your Schoolwork by the due date (overdue, 24 hours, this week, etc.). This can be disabled in Settings. - iOS: You can now use App Theme Color in Light Mode and Dark Mode - Added a few new icons to the Class Icon options And of course, some bug fixes! - Fixed a bug where you could not delete the last remaining Link in a Schoolwork - Fixed some issues with the due date countdown in Schoolwork - Fixed a bug where opening Schoolwork Details in a separate window on iPad would not respect App Theme Color or forced Light/Dark Mode settings - Fixed a bug where disabling Show Due Time after having set a due time would silently keep that due time, which messed up sorting and countdowns.

I’ve got some more great updates coming this fall :) ## Apps similar to School Assistant | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [My Study Life - School Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-study-life-school-planner/id910639339) | 4.5 (6,203) | Free | Education | | [B4Grad: Homework Planner App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/b4grad-homework-planner-app/id1352751059) | 4.3 (1,926) | Free | Education | | [myHomework Student Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/myhomework-student-planner/id303490844) | 4.5 (4,307) | Free | Education | | [Schooly: School Schedule Maker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/schooly-school-schedule-maker/id1500232555) | 4.5 (381) | Free | Education | | [Class Timetable - Schedule App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/class-timetable-schedule-app/id425121147) | 4.7 (2,997) | Free | Education | | [Smart Timetable: Study Planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/smart-timetable-study-planner/id1278473923) | 4.6 (3,383) | Free | Education | ## More apps by Sun Apps, LLC - [The Ultimate Counter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-ultimate-counter/id1506840609) - [Resolutioner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/resolutioner/id1563852783) - [Drivometer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/drivometer/id1568222431) - [FFmpeg Command Generator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ffmpeg-command-generator/id6444012595) All apps by Sun Apps, LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1465505382 ## Related topics [school planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-planner) · [school tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-tracker) · [school schedule planner kids](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-schedule-planner-kids) · [school calendar planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-calendar-planner) · [student planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/student-planner) · [work planner school](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/work-planner-school) · [student planner school](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/student-planner-school) · [school planner free](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-planner-free) · [the school planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/the-school-planner) · [istudiez pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/istudiez-pro) · [academic planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/academic-planner) · [student assist app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/student-assist-app) · [best school planner apps for students](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/best-school-planner-apps-for-students) · [school work tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-work-tracker) · [school assignment tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-assignment-tracker) · [school planner app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-planner-app) · [homework planner free](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/homework-planner-free) · [homework tracker free](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/homework-tracker-free) · [school organizer](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/school-organizer) · [homework planner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/homework-planner) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
