Great content, but some frustrating formatting on newer iPhones
On newer iPhones, the “back” button does not respond to touch commands. Occasionally I tap it *just right* and it works, but 9 times out of 10 it doesn’t respond. This seems like a pretty simple fix, but has been an issue for a while.
The best language flashcard app
I tried other apps when this one temporarily went down. They weren't even close to how effective cleverdeck is. So glad it came back
Language learning
This app is without a doubt the best way to learn foreign language vocab.
Other apps have spaced repetition, but only this one has the correct pronunciation (ie. real person, not a robot) and pictures to reinforce. The cards were recorded by native language teachers. Why would anyone waste their time making inferior cards with Anki?
Thank you so much for making this amazing app.

Great app
So glad I found this. Helping me learn French.
App no longer supported
This app was an amazing way to study a language. I was using this to study French and and great success. I was a premium member but it appears this app is no longer supported. I have emailed the contact email address (Justin) but have had no luck. I am very disappointed as this app was the best way to learn vocabulary! I hope the developer gets it running once again.

Fantastic & Underrated
This is an amazing app. It uses a spaced-repetition algorithm, and the cards are . . . aesthetically pleasing. Highly so. Wonderfully so.
That might seem like a silly comment—but little things like that matter.
The images are on point; the colors are vivid; the font is just right; each card has an example sentence; and there's a top-notch recording of a human voice for each word.
That sounds like a simple recipe, and I would have thought that there would be other apps that have all of those seemingly simple elements. There aren't, at least not that I've found.
I say "underrated" only because this app has far fewer downloads and ratings than it deserves.
It's a diamond in the rough.
Download it. Use it. Сейчас!
* FYI, my review is based on the Russian cards; I've not studied any other language on this app.

Much prefer the Reword French flash card app anyway.
Thankful for CleverDeck!
An awesome way to absorb new vocabulary. This app has been incredibly useful. Thank you to the makers for creating this. Great value for money!
Takes your money. Great gives you nothing.
If you pay for the premium, it will take your money but not give you the subscription. You will still only have access to 100 words.
Sadly broken- Developer non responsive
After happily using this for years, it suddenly doesn’t work anymore. The developer used to be responsive, I did email him in the past and found him to be very helpful. Now, there’s no answer to my emails. It’s too bad because this used to be a great program.

This app is BY FAR the best way to learn foreign language vocab. Other apps have spaced repetition, but only this one has the correct pronunciation (ie. real person, not a robot) and pictures to reinforce. The cards were recorded by native language teachers.
This is the app I’ve been searching for now for so many years!!!! Why would anyone waste their time making inferior cards with Anki?
Is it easy? Of course not. But it really really works with time and patience...

No Access to Decks
I have tried daily for two weeks or more to open a deck, but I continue to get a “network error “. I have a paid subscription but am told I don’t have an account! I have emailed Justin but never received any response!
Couldn’t use it
Paid for the premium version, but every time I tried to use it got message network error. Never got access to the premium materials.
Great app. Not currently working.
Brilliant app. But currently not working with ‘network error’ preventing use. What’s going on? Is it being fixed? You still charged me for my subscription and took my money. What is happening with the app??
App no longer supported?
Update, 7 Jan 21: So sad this app no longer appears to be supported...was a premium member, but now I can’t log in or access my deck beyond the first 100 cards. So sad! Have emailed the developer several times, but no luck. Loved this app and would add it again if it works.

Been practicing with the French deck for a few weeks - love this app! The graphics are really professional and vibrant, and often interesting or funny, making the words more memorable. The pronunciations sound natural, not too fast or slow, as if I’m overhearing something in real life instead of listening to a robot. The sentences/usage examples are also fun and great for putting the word in perspective. My one recommendation would be to add an option to hear the sentence being pronounced as well.
For me, five new cards a day are plenty, which gives me time to review and really learn the ones I’ve missed without feeling pressured. I can honestly say I look forward to using this app every day - the cards are like a good book I love reading again and again. In fact, that’s the next app I’d recommend: a deck with a sentence on each card, that tells a story as you go along. Please make that!
I hope this developer adds more apps to help language learners - I would give this ten stars if I could. So helpful - thank you!

App no longer works
This was hands down one of my favorite apps for language learning. I’ve been a paid subscriber for years. Recently I noticed I could not add any new decks to study and an error would pop up. I reached out to CleverDeck but no response. It’s been down for several months. Incredibly sad to see such a great app that I’ve recommended for years to go down this way.

Great app with bugs
Seems like the app hasn’t been updated in a while. I can’t seem to access other decks nor get new cards even though I have an active subscription. Real shame coz I enjoy using it.
No Longer Supported
I love this app and paid for the subscription. I now cannot get new cards as if my subscription has stopped even though they are still charging me. Now I can’t even sign in and states the network is down. I have emailed the developer multiple times with no response. This is a great app and so bummed it seems like it is no longer supported.

Good flash card set
One-way flash cards: Q. English A. French, with audio file of pronunciation and with single example sentence. Useful words, so far. Spaced repetition feature has appropriate intervals. Generally appropriate and occasionally clever/memorable photo backgrounds. Irritating exception: strong = fort. Black bodybuilder with chain draped over shoulders - racist (or SM/kink) image.

Excellent way to learn basic vocabulary and at less than the price of a cup of coffee per month. The pictures help but the staggered repitition means that you get a gauge of what you know and what you need to learn. It will not teach you the language on its own but it is my vocabulary foundation. Try to learn enough basic words to get started, clearing the deck and start again before moving on as some of the basic words get hidden for many months if you go deep into the vocabulary and you can forget them.
