My Study Life is shutting down
From the My Study Life team, thank you for being part of our community.

If you are an existing user, please export your data as soon as possible.

What's happening?
From 1st June 2019, we are no longer accepting new sign ups and the My Study Life apps will no longer be available to download from app stores if you have not already downloaded them. The apps will continue to function as normal until 30th June 2019.
From 1st July 2019, the apps will switch to being read-only, meaning existing schedules, tasks and exams will remain visible but cannot be created.
From 1st August 2019 the apps will cease to function and only an option to export data will be available.
On 1st September 2019 the service will shut down and all data will be removed. Any data which has not been exported by this point will be unrecoverable.
What do I need to do?
Export your data as soon as possible.
You are able to delete your account before My Study Life is shut down.
Why?
Services such as My Study Life require a huge amount of time, effort and money to develop and maintain. Unfortunatey, after much consideration we concluded there is no viable option for us to continue to operate the service.

If you need assistance exporting your data, please contact support@mystudylife.com. We will not be answering support tickets unrelated to data export to enable us to help those with data export queries as quickly as possible.

Officially deprecate the retrieval API and service and maybe look into doing the "import" from CSV if required

If doing import from CSV we should just ask the user for the zip file containing the CSV's before we can properly process it. This will require a rewrite of the entire utility and therefore may be implemented in the future

Explore in #321

Deprecate by removing all of the tools that this utility has used such as the GCal API, AdvancedWebView and all other dependencies to reduce apk size as well

We will straight out replace the utility with a popup prompt and ensure that all scheduled tasks are cleared
