What's New

The updates worth knowing about — new ways to study, classroom tools for teachers, and improvements to how study guides are built. Smaller fixes ship most weeks and aren't all listed here.

   See how ready you are for a test

   Open a study guide and you can now see a single readiness score — it combines how much of your material the guide captured with how well you know each concept from playing games. When a teacher sets a due date, it reads "You're 78% ready for Friday's test," and lists exactly which concepts are left to practice.

   Every generated answer is checked against your notes

   When AvaStudy builds questions from a text upload, it now checks each one against the words you actually uploaded and flags anything it can't place. Nothing is hidden — this is groundwork so that soon you'll be able to tap a flagged item and fix it in a couple of taps.

   A simpler way to get around

   There's now a tab bar at the bottom of the screen for the places you go most — your guides, the daily challenge, your buddy, and progress. The old gear menu was trimmed down to match.

   Classes, assignments, and live games for teachers

   Teachers can create a class, share a join code, assign a guide with a due date, and watch a gradebook fill in as students play. Live mode runs a class-wide game on the projector, Kahoot-style, with everyone answering from their own device.

   Practice adapts to what you keep missing

   AvaStudy tracks which concepts you're shaky on and quietly weights them heavier — in your daily challenge, in the "Strengthen" round, and in which game it suggests next. The study-guide page shows a "What You Know" breakdown so you can see where you stand.

   iPhone photos just work now

   Photos straight from an iPhone (the HEIC format) used to fail silently. They're handled properly now, whether you upload one page or several.

   Parent and teacher accounts, and a College grade

   When you sign up you can say whether you're a student, a parent, or a teacher, and the app adjusts what it shows you. College is now a grade option, so the material and tone fit older students.
