Really great flashcards
Fantastic flash cards with a lot of great options. Would highly recommend
Downloaded… doesn’t run
I’ve often wished there were a way to defer a rating for apps that don’t work because I can’t review something I’ve never experienced. As a software engineer myself, I’m sympathetic. However, I need to give this a 1 for now because it literally crashes after flashing the Traverse logo. I’m a Mandarin Blueprint user and I’m a little surprised that MB would rely on a buggy app (looking at other reviews) for such a critical part of their platform. Anyway, I’m sincerely hoping to be able to revise this review soon to a much better rating.

Terrible performance
Doesn’t load often, it shows a black screen for ages. It can’t even be used offline which is when people have the most spare time for flash cards.
Do not use google auth
I am locked out of using the mobile app because I chose google authentication when signing up. I wish I had just chosen a password like the MB course suggested. I am directed to a buggy web app and the app never finishes logging me in.
Functional app, frustrating bugs.
I just started using this app this week. When I logged in yesterday, I received a message that an update is required. When I go to the App Store to update, there are no updates available. I can’t cancel this prompt to update. I had to uninstall and reinstall.
even though there are bugs, I used ankimobile and ankiapp this weekend. So far I like traverse better because it compliments Mandarin Blueprint quite well compared to the others. I like adding pictures and traverse makes it easy to include.

Everything was OK, but now I can’t use the app
I just started using this app this week. When I logged in yesterday, I received a message that an update is required. When I go to the App Store to update, there are no updates available. I can’t cancel this prompt to update, so I am currently locked out of the app…not a great first impression during my first week using it.

A reply to owenmzee
I started to experience issues too. I have not made so many cards yet. Here is what I know: choose lowest res pictures and simple graphics possible. Make sure your internet connection is solid not using mobile data. The last part is by logging in to the web interface there are more options. See if your mass delete can happen there. If all else does not work reach out to their support. I’m not an employee… just an end user like you.

Excellent Flashcards App for Language Learning
I have been using Traverse for about 9 months for learning Mandarin in conjunction with the Mandarin Blue Print Method. This app rocks! It allows me to modify flashcards and include my own illustrations, including gifs. I use it every morning to refresh my memory on the words, phrases and sentences I learn, and it bring up terms I’ve learned before to refresh my knowledge. That’s handy because sometimes I forget some words or characters, and Traverse reminds me regularly.

Reviewing
The design is perfect to overcome the forgetting curve. Additionally, it is easy to complete my reviews everyday. However, sometimes the audio won’t work but can easily be fixed by swiping the app.
Not sure why MB chose this app
Gonna be honest and not mean here, I’m seriously not understanding why mandarin blueprint would choose this app as the basis of practice with apps like anki and the like out there. This app is painfully difficult to understand on iOS, and doesn’t look at all like the screens they shows on the MB website courses. It’s unintuitive, and buggy. Sorry my dudes but this app is not it.
