Introducing The New Bobclass
What Is the New Bobclass?
We’re excited to unveil the New Bobclass—a complete redesign of the Bobclass studio app, rebuilt from the ground up both technically and visually. The new app will supersede the old app and becomes available for existing customers by the end of September for iOS and Android.
Why a New App?
The current app has served well over the years, but its technical limitations made it harder to:
- Add new features
- Support new use cases
- Deliver the best experience for you and your clients
- And Android users were completely ignored!
So we went back to the drawing board and created a brand-new app. It comes with major improvements and paves the way for the future. We plan to invest heavily in expanding on top of this new platform.
What’s New & Better?
Here’s what you can expect from the New Bobclass:
- Rock-solid reliability: Instant, consistent data, no more sync issues or delays.
- Android support: Bobclass now also runs on Android, with exactly the same features as iOS.
- Streamlined interface: New icons, colors and navigation, to help you work faster and smarter.
- Future-ready foundation: We’re laying the groundwork for features you’ve been asking for—reminders, waiting lists, push notifications, message integrations, and more. See detailed roadmap here .
Now’s a great time to tell us what functionality your business needs most—we’re aiming to be the best-in-class app for instructors like you.
Is My Data Safe?
You can continue using your existing data.
Yes. Your calendar, client info, sales data, and everything else will carry over seamlessly.
While the interface will look different (and better!), your data remains intact. You might need a little time to get used to the new layout, but we’re here to help. If you get stuck, just email me directly: rob@bobclass.com .
What Do I Need to Do?
Once the New Bobclass is available (first week of October), you will need to download the new app from the App Store or Google Play, and log in to your cloud account to access your existing data. Here are the steps:
Here’s how to prepare for the switch:
1. Find your cloud login
- In the current app, go to Settings > Bobclass Cloud.
- Note your cloud user ID (usually an email address). You’ll need it to log in to the new app.
If you see that you are not logged in, the do not proceed. Instead, go to Settings > Help & Feedback and send us a short note (make sure to attach the diagnostics file when asked) and we will assist you.
2. Download the new app
◦ Available for iOS and Android.
◦ On iOS, it will automatically replace the old version.
3. Log in to your cloud account
◦ You’ll be prompted to log in when you open the new app.
4. Remove the old app from other devices
◦ The old app will no longer work—please uninstall it from all devices where it was not replaced by the new one.
What About iPad or Mac?
If your Mac has an Apple Silicon architecture (the M-series CPU), then you can can run the New Bobclass. Just go to to the Mac App Store and download it. The same goes for iPadOS.
Will It Have the Same Features?
Yes, and we plan to add much more new functionality. This said, by end of September, we want to focus on getting the core functionality right, and postponed the Progress Notes functionality. We will add this in the weeks after initial launch, so please bear with us. It will come with some important improvements, based on feedback from customers. For more details, view this item on the roadmap .
What About Companion Apps?
The existing Bobclass Self Service ( Android , iOS ) and the Bobclass Staff ( Android , iOS ) apps will continue to be fully functional and available for your clients and staff. They have been on the new technical architecture already since the beginning.
Will Pricing Change?
No. Pricing for the New Bobclass will remain the same as it is now. View full pricing details by country here .
Keep in mind that if you are on a monthly plan through your Apple ID, you can always change to a yearly plan directly with us with a 20% (Studio) or 15% (Pro) discount. Just let us know.
Questions or Feedback?
We can imagine that you may have questions. Or you'd want to give feedback after you have viewed the mockup or participated in the beta test. Just write me, Rob, directly at rob@bobclass.com .
