I’ve had several flashcard apps over the years and I’ve been pretty disappointed with most of them, about my favorite one to date was Flashcard Deluxe for the iPhone and iPad. It was simple when you needed it to be and complex when you wanted it to be complex.
This app does the same. I was pretty hesitant at that I had never heard of this app or that it didn’t have that many reviews. But in the first month of having this app, I’ve already seen a massive update that provided all the features I wanted.
My requirements for the flashcard app were:
1) Speed, the hardest part about flashcards is finding a way to make them fast so that you can get to the studying. For making tons of flashcards and including pictures, this app is pretty dang fast. I can be making flashcards as the teacher speaks (it supports keyboard shortcuts which are very nice).
2) Needed a good way to handle pictures without large uploading instructions. Uploading and sharing the flashcards to my phone has been quick and easy.
3) Different ways of studying to make sure I’m really learning my stuff, and this app has several options put in how to study, from multiple choice to the Leitner system, it’s beautiful
As for all the issues others have talked about with the crashing or data issues, I have seen none of it. I’m pleasantly surprised, it’s a well-rounded app with plenty of features and just what I need, even with a few extras thrown in like deck statistics (statistics on each deck how well you have them memorized).
