8.5.0 -- April 7th, 2026
BetterCampus 8.5.0 is here with recurring tasks, a smarter flashcard experience, easier plan upgrades, and dozens of reliability improvements across the board.
Recurring tasks
Set a task once and have it show up automatically on your schedule. Perfect for weekly assignments, daily study reminders, or anything that repeats throughout the semester.
Flashcards got way better
Studying with flashcards is now more focused and efficient:
Mark cards as Got it or Still learning after each review
Review only what you missed instead of the entire deck
Smoother swiping and cleaner controls throughout the flashcard experience
Easier plan upgrades
Switching from monthly to yearly billing is now a single click. You'll see exactly how much you save before you confirm.
Planner reliability
The planner is more dependable than ever:
Old class schedules now sync correctly—past classes no longer disappear
Planner and to-do sync issues have been resolved, including Canvas notes syncing properly
Clicking a class now correctly shows its tasks
Clearer UI for free and signed-out users
If you're not signed in or on a free plan, the experience is less confusing:
New Join free screens make it obvious how to get started
Locked features now clearly indicate when an account is required
Sidebar prompts appear when logged out to guide you back to signing in
Themes keep their defaults unless you change them
Class cards and planner layout look cleaner
Tasks are now ordered with Top tasks first and expand on demand

Theme fixes and performance
Themes got some under-the-hood attention:
Light mode issues resolved
