Refreshed Design

With iOS 15, Apple introduced a new hierarchical design, which School Assistant now uses in place of the old outlined design. Many parts of the app have been tweaked and updated too.

Updated Schoolwork Cells

Schoolwork's cells now feature multi-line titles, a relocated Assignment or Test icon, new quick swipe actions, and a new compact style. See below for more details.

New Compact Style

You can now choose to hide the buttons in each Schoolwork cell, allowing you to view more Schoolworks at once. In place of the buttons, you can tap to view More Details or use the new quick swipe actions.

New Quick Swipe Actions

Delete and Done have been moved to the right, fitting in with the system-standard placement of deletion actions. Share has been replaced with a quick action to access the new edit view.

New Edit Schoolwork View

You can now edit all parts of a Schoolwork in one place with the new Edit Schoolwork view. Just tap to bring up More Details, then select Edit. Or, use the new Edit quick swipe action.

Redesigned More Details

More Details has been completely redesigned. Using the new iOS 15 half-sheet design, the new More Details fits in perfectly with iOS 15. It also incudes four new quick actions.

Haptic Touch / Right Click Menus

Schoolwork now features Haptic Touch menus, giving you quick access to common actions and a preview of the more details screen. Also, on iPad and Mac, those quick actions are presented with a right-click.

Theme Colors

Customize School Assistant even more by applying a theme color to the whole app.

Multi-Window Support.png

Multi-Window Support

School Assistant now supports multiple windows on iPad and Mac. This is especially great on Mac, as it allows certain views like More Details or Settings to open in their own window.
