First and foremost, I would like to apologize to our community for our brief hiatus. I know that some of you may have been wondering what we are up to. I assure you, we have not gone anywhere! And now, on to the announcement…

Although things have been quiet lately over here at MakeMobile, we have been hard at work on the upcoming release of CoursePro. We are happy to announce that this release will include CoursePro’s most requested feature: notifications! With notifications, CoursePro will alert you at a configurable amount of time before your course meets that you have an unfinished assignment due. Here is how it works: In addition to notifications, CoursePro now has a course schedule feature. When you create or edit a course, you will be able to add schedule info for the course meet times. This will allow CoursePro to create a notification for any unfinished assignments based on the time that your course meets. The new notification feature will also allow you to set the notifications to use sound, lights, vibrate, and be insistent.

The addition of course schedule functionality has other benefits. For example, it will pave the way for future goodies like calendar integration — the second most requested feature.

The new release will be coming very soon. Stay tuned for more details!
