Compatibility
The iPhone, iPad, and Android versions MySched needs, the devices it supports, and the features that differ between platforms.
The current iPhone and iPad version is 6.3.1. It needs iOS or iPadOS 17.2 or later.
Device support
| Device | Support |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Any model that can run iOS 17.2, in portrait and landscape |
| iPad | Any model that can run iPadOS 17.2, with layouts made for the larger screen |
| Apple Watch | No watch app |
| Mac | No native or Catalyst Mac app |
| Android | Supported on Android 8.0 and later |
If your store does not offer MySched, check for a system update on your device.
Android
The Android app runs on Android 8.0 and later. Google Play decides whether a specific device can install it.
It is a separate app on its own release schedule, so its version number does not line up with the iOS one. See the iOS or Android history for each app.
The apps share the main schedule and planning features, but a few tools are different:
| Only on iOS | Only on Android |
|---|---|
| Add one subject on several days in one form | Launcher shortcuts and Quick Settings tiles |
| Combine a subject split across entries | An ongoing class notification with check-in actions |
| Editing a classmate's schedule during join review | The Study Plan sheet (a week of suggested blocks) |
| 4.00 grade scale | Extra lock-screen privacy controls |
| Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Live Activities | Light and Dark themes only, no System option |
| Export to the system Reminders app | |
| The optional MySched Pro upgrade | |
| A full iPad layout |
Both apps support calendar export, the .mysched schedule file, and their own widget sets. The details above are the differences you are most likely to notice.
Instructor accounts
An instructor who signs in gets a separate teaching-schedule experience instead of the student schedule. Instructor accounts cannot import a student schedule or publish a shared schedule, and they have their own reminder settings. The rest of these guides are written for students.
Feature requirements
- Dynamic Island information appears only on supported iPhone models. Other supported devices can still show Live Activities on the Lock Screen.
- Widgets and controls require the sizes and placements offered by your iOS or iPadOS version and device.
- Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight depend on the related iOS settings being enabled.
- Nearby schools needs Location Services only if you choose that option; text search works without it.
- Sync needs a MySched account and a connection. The saved schedule still opens offline.
- Official schedules, classmate sharing, and the AI reader need an internet connection when they are used. Screenshot, pasted-text, and manual import remain available as fallbacks.
Language and region
The app interface is currently available in English. The three school support states are Official schedule, Directory only, and Custom school on both mobile clients and this help site. Timetable parsing accepts common Filipino and English weekday terms, but unusual abbreviations or layouts may still need manual correction.
Times follow the device's local time settings. If a class time looks wrong after travel or a timezone change, review the class before relying on a reminder.
Keep the app current
Keep MySched updated from your app store for import, sync, accessibility, and stability fixes. See the iOS or Android history for public 6.x updates.
Next steps
