Minor Bug

I have been using this app for almost 10 years now and I wanted to let you know about a bug I have encountered many times. These are the steps to recreate it: -I search for a word I have in my deck using the magnifying glass. -When I click on the 0 (Red), it lights up the %25 (Orange) for a milisecond. -But when I check on the card again, I see that everything is fine and it'a marked as a 0 (Red). Thank you.

Hello, It depends on the tool/game you use. It's either in the settings or you need to press and hold the sound button and then turn it off. Best, NKO Team P.S. Please use the "Let us know" button in the app to contact us directly

Excellent for study

Great app for exam preparation, any wrong answers and the questions are repeated until you remember the correct answer. Simple but Brilliant. You need to compile your own list of questions but this is also a great way to study.

I really like it

I noticed though even when I sign on it didn’t save any of my cards I made when I switch phones. It could be the Apple ID, but it shouldn’t because I signed my email and created a password. That was the only problem, however it didn’t stop me from using it. I like the gaming things you can do to help study. It is fun! I would like to maybe see some more updates to it to give it a cleaner look. Also, consider a widget (note: to the programmer).

Solid, multi-featured learning and memorization tool

I am a retiree in my eleventh year using this app for language studies and have found it to be reliable and a great value. Their user support is excellent-they are always prompt and even incorporated one of my suggested improvements into the software. I particularly like the feature that allows me to share decks from my iPad to my iPhone and listen to them (via Bluetooth) in the car or on a walk. It also incorporates multiple ways of varying how the information on the cards is presented, which helps to make the memorization process less tedious and therefore more productive. Altogether a great learning tool-I wish it had been around back when I was in school and college!

Excellent

A really well thought out app which does everything you want a flashcard app to do, and does it flawlessly. Full marks to designers and programmers.

A great flash card app

I’ve been using this app for several years to study all kinds of subjects. I like how there are so many ways to recite the information besides the standard flipping of cards. It has games and quizzes, gives you the option to spell things out. Multiple languages which it can speak. I took one star off only because the paid version requires a subscription. One year price should be enough to own it. Otherwise a perfect app.

Still the best tool in my language-learning arsenal

The SRS system and the level of customization makes this a fantastic learning tool. I love that you can listen to vocabulary passively while walking around town with your earbuds in. It's too bad they phased out the lifetime purchase option. I've been using it for about a decade(?) and I honestly wouldn't keep using it if I had to pay monthly (in spite of how amazing it is!) because I'm poor...

One suggestion: please fix the problems with audio ducking in and out in the "listen" tool. I use this to learn Japanese, and the beginning of the word in the Japanese audio is always much softer than the end of the word, which makes it difficult to hear and understand new words I'm trying to study.

Other than that, I highly recommend this for language study or anything you want to memorize. Once you make the cards, the studying becomes easy and fun. You can easily create your own study system perfectly suited to your needs!

Hello Felicia, Thank you for your feedback! If you have any question or issue, please contact us by using the "Let us know" button in the app. A few comments about managing decks: 1) If you accidentally delete a deck, it will move to the trash and you can restore it (Main screen of the app > My Decks > Trash) 2) If a deck is moved accidentally somewhere and you can't manually find it, try to use search to find its new location 3) Although you can rely on manual or device back-ups, the best practice is to use shared folders for important decks at least. The decks in shared folders are backed up on our server and on your other devices. Thanks, NKO Team
