## What is Card2Memory?

Card2Memory is a flashcard tool that follows the Leitner system with 5 boxes and optimizes your learning process.

On the front and back of a card, you can enter a question and answer in the form of plain text, audio files, or pictures. In addition, you can insert (cropped) PDF files via iCloud as formatted text. This way, you can also use text that has been generated with a formula editor.
With a high-contrast black and white photo of a two-columned vocabulary list, the corresponding flashcards can be produced automatically via text recognition.

You can import CSV files (with , or ; as a separator) saved in iCloud Drive or C2M files that you received as e-mail attachments.

New cards will always be put into box 1.
While learning, the cards can be flipped with a simple tap or a swipe left/right gesture.
Swipe the cards that you answer right upwards into the next higher box.
If the answer is wrong, swipe the card down, back into the first box

When a card holds up to the check in the fifth box, it is removed from the system.

For reverse learning (especially when learning vocabulary) you can flip the whole stack of cards over. 

You can save the actual state of a flashcard and later retrieve it again.
The flashcards you created can be sent to other users via e-mail (see above).

### 5/5 — Tolle App, sehr guter Support !

*2024-06-17, version 5.1*

Die App tut genau was sie soll. Entwickler reagiert schnell und konstruktiv auf Fragen !

### 1/5 — Keyboard mode is useless

*2020-12-11, version 3.0*

The color of fonts is white and the background is white too so it's useless

### 3/5 — Sehr gute Ansätze, aber...

*2020-11-12, version 3.0*

Sehr gute Grundidee, was die generelle Darstellung der einzelnen Karten betrifft und ebenso die Integration der Methode der 5 Boxen.

Leider sind die Karten nur für kurze Begriffe, wie Vokabeln oder Kurze Formeln geeignet. Je länger die einzutragenden Texte (z.B. Definitionen mit mehreren Aspekten) desto unkomfortabler ist die Darstellung aber auch die Eintragung selbst (Tastatur verdeckt Text, etc.).
Die Freihandnutzung funktioniert leider ebenso nur bei kurzen Texten, da mit jeder Stiftberührung (-> quasi jeder Buchstabe bei Druckschrift) die vorherigen Eintragungen unschärfer werden. 

Die App ist demnach noch ausbaufähig und währe dann auch für meine Zwecke (Studium) geeignet.

### 4/5 — Sehr gut

*2020-09-17, version 3.0*

Super zum Lernen. Seit kurzem jedoch lässt sich beim Fach 1 nicht lernen. Wenn ich auf lernen drücke stürzt die App ab. Wäre super wenn das behoben wird.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-08-24, version 2.2*

This app has a really great design and features but it crashes so much and after each crash I loss my notes

### 4/5 — Lernkarteikarten selbst schreiben

*2019-08-22, version 1.3.1*

Wie ich mir das vorgestellt habe. Es dient einfach zum Lernen, man kann sehr einfach die Karteikarten selber beschriften. 
Einziger Nachteil: ich bin noch nicht daraufgegossen, wie ich eine bereits erstellte Karte ergänzen/bearbeiten kann.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2016-03-04, version 1.1.1*

It's a good app , but "import from csv" always has error "incorrect format "
