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!Show lessLingobuff

Thank you for your words about our app and for sharing your experience!This app is great but….
I’ve changed my review from 5 stars after using this app for many years because honestly I’m just tired of how this app puts so much pressure on me to study too much
The SRS timer for “new cards” and reviewing is just too much…
I constantly have to review hundreds of cards and the SRS adds cards faster than I can review them.
This app just wants you to study night and day to keep up with your due SRS cards and I’m tired of it … it needs to change.
I want to able to decide how many cards I study each day and tell the app I’m done
Then come back the next day and start a study session.
This app needs at start and end study session feature to keep people from being bogged down in due cards. Even if I study every day I’m constantly behind!
This adds so much stress to my life, please change the SRS due cards featureShow lessGeGei

Hello GeGei, Sorry for your experience. The SRS may behave as you described when a user uses the "100%" SRS too strictly. The "100%" means "I know the card now" and not "I will remember it forever and don't need to study it again". Please try to lower you threshold for the "100%". Best, NKO TeamHandy for Revision

Thank you for your words about our app and for sharing your experience!Going on Ten Years!
I’ve lost track but I’d say it’s close to ten years now since I discovered this app. This is the single most powerful language learning tool I have on my phone. It puts me in the driver’s seat, allowing ME to choose what words, phrases and grammar patterns are right for me at my current level of learning, providing accurate pronunciations for vocabulary I provide, in the language of my choice. (I use Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korea and Spanish and have found the pronunciation surprisingly accurate.)
It allows the addition of photographs and drawings to replace words, making possible a more direct association where appropriate. The ability to organize by language, learning objective, level of mastery or any other way imaginable is also invaluable, making it possible to focus on a small group of words or target phrases and then move them to a different file of already mastered items for later review. Brilliantly conceived, and the user interface is also excellent. Job well done! After more than six years running (now closer to ten), still my main gun. I use it for four different languages. Love it! Have even used it as a teacher as well as student. Still Love it. Job well done!!!Show lessPajeot
Excellent! Esp for Apple Watch!
I rarely write an app review, but if you are looking for a flashcard app that will help you learn (the repetition approach of the SRS system really works) and you also want to take advantage of the Apple Watch as a quick and easy way to study (quick looks throughout the day), you really need to try this one out. The watch interface is highly customizable and amazingly effective and easy to use, yet with high functionality. And all the decks (Watch, iPhone and iPad) synchronize through iCloud. Definitely give this one a try.Show lessTxMacUser
Easy to use
I like that it’s very easy to add cards and that you can have them categorized into folders. I like the matching game. I like that it’s customizable to where you can turn off the badge award screen (because I don’t like the music / sound effects for that screen) but I do love the sound effects for the matching game itself. It makes me feel like I’m getting somewhere when I’m learning my cards.Show lessBenGenGal
