Release Notes
Version 2026.7
Oct 27, 2026
- iPhone Duo support! Easy Grade fits the outer display and uses the whole inner display. Open it partway in laptop pose and the scores go on the top half, with the controls on the flat half where your thumbs are.
- New Controls Location setting. Keep the grading controls at the top like always, or move them to the bottom of the screen
- iPhone works in landscape now too, with compact controls down the side so the score table gets more room
- No more asking for a rating when you open the app to grade. If Easy Grade asks at all, it waits for a pause between quizzes, and never more than once per version.
Version 2026.6.4
Sep 29, 2026
- A recent update let your phone auto-lock in the middle of grading. That's fixed now. Sorry about that!
- Fixed a crash when the number of questions was changed to 0, like when you delete the 1 in 10 to type a new number. The number of questions now tops out at 500.
- Did the number pad ever get stuck on the screen? Tapping anywhere outside the Number of Questions field puts it away now
Version 2026.6.3
Sep 24, 2026
- The alternate app icons now include every size iOS asks for, so they look sharp everywhere, including the iPad Pro

- The Premium screen shows the price of every option now, not just the combo
- Fixed a crash on launch on iOS 27
Version 2026.5
Aug 6, 2026
- If you bought 1/2 points and Remove Ads separately, the Premium screen still offered you the combo like you didn't already own it. It shows everything you have now.
- Fixed a crash when you tapped a purchase on the Premium screen before the App Store finished loading prices. This mostly happened when the app was opened without an internet connection. Now you get a quick heads-up and can try again.
