Now I just need to spend some time creating my cards. ### 5/5 — Record from Translator for Pronunciation *2024-07-10* I record from the translate app on my phone onto the flash card (on my I-pad). I only use my own voice for answers or if I think the pronunciation on the translate app isn’t quite right. This helps me so much to get used to hearing words and phrases. ### 5/5 — Thanks for making this app! *2024-01-03* I am constantly in my car and can wear earbuds at work. The ability to have audio flashcards is going to help me so much in school. THANK YOU! ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-09-14, version 1.2.7* As a self learner of Japanese I have used this to make my own lessons and quizses and it has been a total gamechanger. Very simple idea but the TTS is decent enough and only other issue is the cloud seems to unlink but that is easily fixed when it happens. ### 4/5 — Good tool for learning languages *2023-08-03* It’s really been handy the only down side I’ve run into it the lack of a way to automate uploading audio files. Maybe Apple shortcuts support would be nice. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I am interested to hear your opinion, contact me to discuss this feature request. ### 5/5 — Great for a new language *2023-05-14* This app has really helped me excel in learning a new language. Instead of reading the words, hearing them, and hearing your own pronunciation, has helped me to nail down some words faster. I also love that I can set it and go hands free on long commutes to work. Two fixes I think that could make the app better: 1) being able to search for flash cards that you have named. I have hundreds of flash cards and when I come across one I have pronounced wrong, I’m unable to edit from the review screen. Going back to the main deck of cards and scrolling through 100s to find the one that’s wrong is very challenging. Or at the very least have the option to sort alphabetically. 2) if item 1 gets updated this is less important, but I flagged 20 cards that were wrong or hard to understand. I went to re-record them and after marking one as unflagged, it lost all the other flagged cards. Thank you for making this app! It’s so close to perfect and really a game changer in my progress! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Great news search functionality is coming in the next version, and it’s almost ready for release. I will look into the mentioned bug with flagged cards. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app, perfectly made with no bugs *2023-02-02* Top top class stuff ### 4/5 — Glad this exists but… *2023-01-17* First, when I was thinking this would be a great way to prep for stuff, I was surprised that there weren’t more options and, at the same time, very glad there was this app which had most of what I wanted. While I wish I could type in or import stuff so that a generated voice could read it, the fact that it will play both the prompt and the answer with a definable pause as well as continue playing without any user interaction makes it perfect for use while driving. I also appreciate the ability to make edits even if it’s basically re-recording then trimming/deleting the first version. In addition, I like being able to have nested folders that all play if the parent is chosen for review. The biggest downside to this app is lack of documentation (new explanations for some things but could use more) and behavior (why does it think I’m done reviewing for the day after one pass through and which of the other methods will mimic normal review?). It would be great to just keep the whole stack on repeat with a random order; perhaps, using the microphone, it could be set to determine if you gave the wrong answer and prioritize those. I’d also like the ability to review with the screen off and/or in the background while doing other stuff on my device. Finally, while I appreciate the fact that it can be used hands free, you can also hold it and mark your successes and failures. Unfortunately, if you mark a success before the playback is complete (or mostly), it’ll count it as skipped then going back takes a little more effort than you’d think plus you still have to listen again rather than simply marking it as complete. Basically, that mode is more frustrating than it is useful (don’t think it maintains stats). All in all, glad to have this app and glad it’s free. ### 5/5 — Great for language learning! *2023-01-10* I’ve been using this app to help with vocabulary building for a foreign language that I have general fluency with, and it is a GREAT resource, especially if your language learning needs don’t fit the one-size-fits-all that many apps offer. Creating audio flash cards is a simple process, you can customize and re-record them as needed, and the developers are super responsive to feedback - I asked if there was a chance to add the ability to review cards with the answer first and within a week, the developers had added the feature! Highly recommend this app for anyone looking for a customizable way to study something, especially with the ability to review via audio. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Confusing and useless *2026-02-11* This app is so confusing to use, I literally spent an hour trying to figure out how to import an audio into this God forsaken app and when I did figure it out it literally did nothing. I literally just wanted to study for a test using my recordings of the lectures and all I got was a waste of time. I hope someone learns how to make an actual app where you could record or import recordings and make it into flashcards cause this is not it. ### 1/5 — Great in certain circumstances *2024-12-20* I was excited to find this app because it has all the features I’m looking for but it does a poor job of importing files. I tried on both my phone and my iPad. It cuts off my audio. The file to be imported was 1:24 and while the time showed correctly when I played in the preview it cut off the last second or so. And then one time it played correctly in preview but when I used the file in a flash card it showed the length as 1:10 and was drastically reduced in play time. This could be a great resource if you’re only recording within the app but that doesn’t fit my needs. **Developer response:** Hello, I am sorry you are experiencing this issue. This doesn’t seem to happen with every audio file otherwise this would have been caught in testing. Can you please provide me with an example audio file that is suffering from this issue? You can contact directly through the app. ### 1/5 — Lol *2024-02-20* Probably the worst app of its kind out there. Audio files keep needing to be downloaded after only exiting the app for about a minute or so. It will never download back either, so don’t get too attached to those voice cards. Don’t waste your time with this one. 👍 ### 1/5 — It crashed! But it still looks promising. *2024-01-29* I’m learning the Japanese language as a beginner, and I really want a tool that will let me enter my own words and phrases, and then let me hear them with the iOS excellent, built-in, text-to-speech (TTS) functions. When I saw this app, I was excited! Unfortunately, after downloading the app on my iPhone 12 mini, I had a rough experience using it. First, there was not a clear onboarding process, and I had to guess *how* to start using the app. Eventually, after some tinkering, I entered a practice word, but the onscreen keyboard covered some essential buttons to take the next step. Then, after trying to use the TTS features, the app crashed. So, as version 1.2.8, the app has some UX issues and at least one significant bug. 🐞 Still, I’m really intrigued by what the developer promises. I think this app has great potential, and I’m going to keep my eye out for new versions. ### 3/5 — issues adding shared cards *2025-09-29, version 1.3.9* only way: “restore backup” which deletes all current cards and replaces them with the shared card park u want. ### 3/5 — I love this app but …. *2024-05-13, version 1.3.1* I use this app to learn Spanish. I load in a CSV file with Spanish questions and English answers. In general the app is great, but my two issues are: 1. You should be able to turn off iCloud syncing. I should not be forced to have the cards syncing in my iCloud. I do not like apps having access to it and should be able to use the app locally only. 2. Today I was prevented from editing my cards. It says the build expired and that I need to update my version. When I go to the App Store there is no update available. ### 3/5 — server issues *2023-10-13, version 1.2.8* The app for some reason deletes about half of my files every day, and then struggles to download them from lord knows where. When I select review, it recommends to download the files. Where it proceeds to get to about 65% the way through, then it stops the download, leaving about 25% of my files undownloaded. No matter how many times I try, it never downloads all my files. I don’t know where else to put this but in reviews. I’ll remove this review when it gets responded to because I respect that the developer reads these reviews. ### 3/5 — Missing one feature? *2022-08-25* This app is very nice. But it’s missing a key feature of being able to play through the question and answer without interacting with the UI. I’d like it to play all by itself while I’m driving. **Developer response:** This feature is included in the recent version. ### 4/5 — Wish it displayed text and pictures *2025-11-19* Great if you are an audible learner and can loop audio. Not so great for visual learners. Would be awesome if text and images could go along with the audio. ### 4/5 — good but has flaws *2024-05-31* great for listening study, but it makes me listen to the whole answere before moving on which is very unnecessary. Also, it doesn’t have an option to play a sound but answer in words, which is annoying and it also has all my flashcards set individually instead of in a set. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works and its cheap *2026-04-23* No complaints. I like using it over regular flash cards. ### 5/5 — Good job *2025-06-24, version 1.3.7* Very cool idea and execution ### 5/5 — Great job! *2025-04-05* Exactly what I was looking for. Quick! Simple and something I can do while driving! ### 5/5 — Game changer *2025-03-08* Extremely helpful in my studies are ### 5/5 — Really useful tool *2025-01-16* I will def keep experimenting with this one ### 5/5 — Simple, effective! *2024-12-17* User friendly and a unique way to study while driving or on a walk ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2024-10-30* It’s a great app to use to memorize anything hands-free! ### 5/5 — Learning Music by Ear *2024-10-13* I’m very happy with this app so far! Love that you can make folders and each flash card has lots of options when making it. It’s great it also keeps the statistics and gives you different practice options. For anyone else trying to learn music my ear, this is great! I record a little clip of me playing the note on the bass ( or other instrument) to play back and then can practice when I’m not at home. ### 5/5 — Great concept *2024-09-09* I hope development continues because this saves me so much time with med school and commuting. ### 5/5 — Simple. Useful. *2024-08-28, version 1.3.6* Love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
