  • Very comprehensive and great support

    This is the only app I’ve found where I was able to make the Apple Watch functionality work in a way that is reasonably useful. It is nice to be able to study for a few minutes between calls or while waiting in line for coffee.

    To be transparent, there is a bit of a learning curve, but the depth of the app makes it very customizable and the experience robust.

    I did run into some technical issues which prevented me from gaining access to the web-based version of the app, which is pretty crucial because otherwise I’d be making all the flashcards from my phone, which is cumbersome.

    Support was great and helped me resolve the issue within a day of them responding to my initial request for support through the link in the app.

  • Solid, multi-featured learning and memorization tool

    I am a retiree in my tenth 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!

  • Powerful tool

    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.) And 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, Maki g 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, 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!!!

  • 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.

  • Loving this app!

    My 11 yo has struggled to motivate himself with retrieval learning techniques advocated by school - until we discovered your app! Now he will happily play games which feel like fun and enable him to keep his knowledge fresh in his memory. It’s been so successful that his 8 yo brother has a folder too with times tables cards in so he doesn’t feel left out!
    Thank you for making a parent very happy :-)

  • Daddoo

    This app has been invaluable to me in my professional and personal endeavors. It has enabled me to learn and stay current in a myriad of complex systems and to quickly refresh my memory when needed. I find the interface to be intuitive and the customer service has been very responsive. If you have found the use of flash cards to be helpful as a study aid, you will greatly appreciate this platform.

  • I recommend this to everyone

    I have been using this app for years, and I especially appreciate that I can listen to my flashcards while walking around. It’s a great way to study languages!

    I tried to mention this in a previous review; I apologize if this appears twice. I had a deck that had 300 cards in it, and it disappeared completely when I tried to move it to a different folder. This was very frustrating for me, so I hope someone can fix the bug that does that. Otherwise, I absolutely love the app and will continue to use it to improve my Japanese vocabulary for as long as I can!

    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
