Leave a Review Brainscape
Well Implemented Tool
I started using this several years ago and it was good then, but my role changed and haven’t picked up again until this month, and man they have not been resting on their laurels! This app has progressed to be easier to use, show more relevant content in with questions along with answers and good formatting. The website also is full of science based recommendations and research for best practices in learning, and even notes some controversial theories (well labeled as controversial). These make me more confident in spending the time to study using this app. I use this mainly to learn about areas of my job, especially when I change jobs. People roles, tech terms, project names, etc. helps a lot! I wish there were a little more info on the importing of excel files.Show lessdprest66

Looking forward to hearing from you! 😎🤘 Chuckee@BrainscapeA Must-Have Flashcard App for Effective Learning
I recently started using Brainscape, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The app boasts excellent visuals that make the learning experience as enjoyable as binge-watching my favorite show (almost!). The ease of navigation is remarkable, allowing me to find what I need faster than I can find my car keys.
One of the standout features is the variety of real-time testing options. This not only makes studying fun but also helps reinforce learning in an interactive way. The friendly verbiage throughout the app inspires and encourages me to keep pushing forward, which is incredibly motivating—like having a cheerleader who knows when you need that extra nudge.
The user interface is both intuitive and aesthetically pleasing, with smooth navigation that ensures a seamless experience. Everything is quick and easy to locate, thanks to the well-designed graphical user interface (GUI). The designer/s of this app have intuitively placed buttons and links where I expect them to be.
In summary, Brainscape has been a fantastic tool for my learning journey. It's fun, helpful, and perfectly designed to enhance my study sessions. Thank you, Brainscape, for creating such a wonderful app! Now, if only it could help me remember where I left my coffee…Show lessWykatmom

Chuckee@BrainscapeSAVED MY LIFE
These flash cards saved my life when studying Bar-tested subjects (during law school) and especially while studying for the bar. Super easy to study here and there — I pull them up when I’m awkwardly waiting for a table at restaurants, etc. I wish someone had told me about these at the beginning of 1L year. I’m in Crim Pro now, and instead of reading the cases intensely to prepare for class, I study the flashcards and briefly review the cases enough to answer cold calling. While everyone else in the room is confused because the professor is reviewing multiple different rules, overturning of precedent, etc, I am able to easily just spit out rule statements. People look at me like I’m a genius when in actuality I’ve just been using Brainscape. The only “genius” part was buying the Brainscape flash cards and studying them during law school, not just after. TOTALLY WORTH IT!Show lessleewilson5932

Oh wow, thank you so much for your amazing feedback, leewilson5932! We're absolutely ecstatic to hear our flashcards have been your lifesaver through law school and bar prep. Kudos for being the genius who discovered Brainscape early on! Keep shining in Crim Pro and making those cold calls look easy. We’re proud to be part of your law school journey! You've got this, and we've got your back! 🧠💪✨ Chuckee@BrainscapeUsed it for one use case but I’m staying!
I happened to run across this site on my PC while looking for materials for ways to study mock exams or similar for my upcoming Archimate certification exams. I started with the free component and was able to get a feel for whether this flashcard system was going to work for me.
After purchasing to gain full access, I continued to use the site to enhance and reinforce my existing knowledge. While, in my opinion, this shouldn’t replace training courses and standard learning tools (otherwise, you’re just studying concepts without a complete understanding), it was a fantastic accompaniment to the rest of my study materials.
The system itself and the concept behind it is straightforward. Beat the knowledge into your head with repetition. I wish I had this when I took my TOGAF exam. Yes, I passed that exam, and my Archimate exam that I used this tool to study with, but my confidence going into this latest exam was very high. I did way better than expected, and I would like to associate some of that with this tool and its successful methods.
I passed my exam with 95% and 90% - Thank you, Brainscape, for your help! I’ve already shown my co-workers the app, and I’ll spread this to others at my company. This tool is fantastic. I hope you push to grow it more!Show lessEtchavious

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience, samys123! Glad that our app has helped you prep for the Bar exam! Keep up the fantastic work and best of luck with your goal! 🌟 Cheers! Chuckee@BrainscapeForeign languages are so much easier now
I have tried a ton of methods for learning foreign languages over the years — audio only, grammar intensive, books, audiobooks, videos, computer apps, etc. They all have their little gimmick — no studying, guided situations, games, etc. And at the end of the day, the simple flashcard method (with audio) works the best at having something to say in the moment you need it and on the tip of your tongue. Brainscape takes it further by offering curated professional flash cards courses for Spanish and French, plus smaller subsets of offerings (like verbs only or nouns only) for other languages like Mandarin or Italian. I wish they had entire courses in all the popular languages, because their method works best, it really does. Their method of progressive training, interval recall, and 5-level self scoring works quite well at getting you to recall words and phrases you need to learn while moving past the stuff you already know. Plus I can create my own sets of flash cards and hook audio or picture content to them and then share them with others. All in all, there is no better method for learning a foreign language.Show lesskringle777

Kringle777, please accept this virtual high five! You get us :) And yes, we do hope to add more and more Brainscape certified classes for additional languages (and beyond). Happy studying! -- Courtney@BrainscapeGreat Easy General Learning Resource
I’ve used Brainscape on and off for years, and it keeps getting better every time I return to it.
They have high-quality content for just about any topic. It’s great for test preparation, general curiosity, knowledge refreshing, and exploring a topic before going into it more deeply through books or other study—and thus it also gives you a solid grounding if you do go more deeply. It allows real learning to happen when you don’t necessarily feel like doing traditional study with books, notes, highlighting, and all that. It allows you to basically be puttering around on your phone—but productively!
I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily the ultimate flashcard service. I use a different one (the big Q) for when I want the various study modes that that one provides, but I don’t WANT Brainscape to do anything differently than it does. I love its simplicity and consistency in how you interact with the content. And it’s extremely simple to find excellent quality content to study (UNLIKE with the big Q).Show lessrpotter1000

Courtney@BrainscapeIt’s okay, but…
It hasn’t changed much over the years. It’s too bad, Apple forced a bunch of apps to consolidate if they had multiple apps for one concept. In this case, it’s language learning. Many companies that had Spanish, French, German, etc, language apps sold separately, had to consolidate all languages into one app. During this switch to the new format many apps offered a way to restore purchases. I will admit, many of my language app purchases and the app upgrades were purchased at discounts or during a free unconditional purchase, but I have lost some of the old in app purchases that I had previously. Some of my previous unlocks were for a full set (complete course) or all decks of study cards, and now I seem to only have the first or first few decks. It’s not really a big deal as I have been using other language learning apps in place of Brainscape. I will say,, the spoken content is clear compared to other apps, but it really is simply a digital study card application. I’m not really sure what I’d get for the $200 per year PRO upgrade, but $200 per year gets you a lot of upgrades with a bunch of your language apps compared to just this one, and other apps have tests/quizzes and study material that utilizes voice recognition to analyze your speech when determining if you answered correctly. I consider speaking the language more important than memorizing flash cardsShow lessDiscord gamer

Hi Discord gamer, Sorry for any confusion if you have receipts for purchases made before our rollout of Brainscape Pro so pre December 2015 we'd be happy to honor these purchases and grandfather you into Brainscape Pro just reach out to our team via support@brainscape.zendesk.com include a copy of your receipt and the email address associated with your Brainscape account and they can get you all set up! Courtney@BrainscapeAwesome app, hoping for more improvements too
I have extensively used anki as well as this app. I gotta say I prefer this app given the fact that I feel I learn the cards faster and don’t have to repeat the cards I know we’ll nearly as many times overall. The interface is clean and nice and I don’t get sidetracked with adjusting settings and addons. The browse feature definitely has room for improvement both on mobile, and implement on desktop to help search and consolidate repeat cards, etc. It would be nice to have subdecks, no deck card limits, ability to tag cards, more advanced study stats, and more. Right now the app is very good, and I’m hoping that as they continue to improve this app they will add these features and more, making it the clear winner above all others. Thanks brainscape!Show lessJakeStook

Hey JakeStook, WOW! Thanks so much for this kind review and for choosing to learn with us over those other apps 🤓 Yes, we have many features planned that I think you'll thoroughly enjoy based on this feedback. So please stay tuned! And if you have any other ideas, don't hesitate to give a shout to our support team via support@brainscape.zendesk.com. By the way, I'm not sure I understand the "no deck card limits?" You shouldn't have any limits to the number of cards you can create per deck. Again, reaching out to our support team should help us clear up any confusion. Happy studying, Courtney@BrainscapeGreat app for studying & actually retaining the information
I have always had a hard time studying the traditional way by filling out index cards and using them as flash cards. This app is a great way to truly learn as you are studying. I love how I can grade myself as I go. The questions/answers I am confident with get graded as I know them therefore I see them less and the ones I am not confident with I see more. I can study anywhere on my phone or laptop. I recommend this app to everyone studying for any subject like math, humanities, foreign language, even real estate. I am 39, I fully believe in this system and wish something like this was around when I was in grade school.Show lessSandrahoverter
