## What is Feyn?

Use flashcards, spaced-repetition, and your Apple Pencil to study with Feyn!

Taking your own notes by hand and spaced-repetition are the best way to learn new concepts, and with Feyn you can do just that. Open up a book on your iPad and comfortably draw your flashcards right there using your Apple Pencil in Feyn. The flashcards are phone-sized so that you can then take them on the go and comfortably review them on your iPhone! Their vertical shape also makes them easy to write while multi-tasking on your iPad, and perfect for learning languages written top to bottom like Japanese. If you don't feel like drawing, just type some text using your keyboard or drop images into your flashcards.

In this way, you *learn* on your iPad as you think of how to you summarize new concepts into flashcards, and *memorize* on your iPhone while you review them on the go!

Feyn is fully featured, you can share flashcard to study with your friends. Your flashcards will automatically synchronize between your devices using your iCloud drive. Feyn also supports iOS' Quick Note, Handoff, and keyboard input: type away on your iPad or on our macOS app!

Feyn uses spaced repetition to aid in learning. It will ask you to review flashcards depending on how well you recall them, flashcards you miss will be asked more often, and flashcards you get right less often. This way you minimize the total time you spend studying and maximize retention!

Feyn Pro ads some nice to have extra features like study charts, to see how well you're learning, and flashcard importing. All other features are free and unrestricted. We guarantee that you will always be able to have a complete study experience for free.

### 3/5 — good start, but missing some essential compatibility features

*2026-06-09, version 1.1.0*

I want to love this app, and i do appreciate it a lot. But the only export option being a proprietary formatting sucks. I would love (a) an option to change the dimensions or orientation of the cards. The profile orientation is great for phone viewing, but I would prefer the option of square or landscape cards as well for iPad. (b) the ability to export as a PDF would be awesome. A printable format intended for double sided printing with 1/2 or 1/4 page cards would be fantastic, as well as a general use PDF format with front/back front/back or front next to back options. I really want to share these cards with my classmates and have the option to print out cards!! But this, generally, is what I’ve been looking for with well-built multimedia flash cards including apple pencil support and built-in flip-through. Thank you! I look forward to feedback response!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-20, version 1.1.0*

compared to all those other flashcard apps that force you to pay and shove ai slop down your throat, Feyn is a beautifullly simple but also powerful app. I love the drawing feature

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-19, version 1.1.0*

Insanely well made app. Really enjoy. All needed features are free, but you can get some handy analytics for like 2 bucks a month. Way better than any other flashcard app by far.

### 5/5 — Desperately needs Anki export

*2026-02-09, version 1.1.0*

Also zoom lock. On iPad mini I zoom in but each new card reset it. Tagging cards in review and creation could be way simpler as well. Great app though

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2026-01-31, version 1.1.0*

Can’t make cards horizontally?

### 5/5 — Intuitive and noninvasive

*2026-01-28, version 0.28.6*

This app is the easiest to use for a digital flashcards app without any distracting AI junk. I handwrite on an iPad, and the pencil tracking is excellent. The flashcard folder system is simple. The subfolder function is generally limited to one sub-level (can this be expanded?). Its also FREE

### 4/5 — Great potential, some drawbacks

*2025-12-11, version 1.1.0*

Really great to have simple flashcards with Apple Pencil support, but there are some drawbacks - it’s impossible to conveniently find a particular card you’re looking for as you can’t search by content. Some improvements could be made here: allow for Apple Pencil to text input support (like in most other apps for text fields); also an icon on the review screen to jump into the editor mode for the card you’re viewing (so you don’t have to exit and find it if you want to change something). Would also be nice to have the option for landscape / square cards on iPad, there is plenty of room for this form factor.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-12-02, version 0.28.6*

A hidden gem for sure

### 5/5 — MUST TRYY

*2025-08-23, version 1.0.1*

Rất đáng để thử luôn nha giao diện dễ dùng, ko lòng vòng , đáng dùng hơn quizlet, ko quảng cáo, dễ tập trung, mình thấy thích quá nên mới rate á

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2025-07-12, version 1.0.1*

I absolutely love this app in comparison to other study apps other study apps have a lot of pay to play features that I don’t enjoy having to use this app makes it simple to utilize importing images, and even drawing your own images for study cards, which has been really useful for my nursing degree. what I don’t love though is how I can’t send this to other devices that I have I would love to be able to study on my phone as well with the flashcards. I’ve already made however, every time I try to send myself my own cards. I’m unable to access my study sites on my other devices. This feature would be really useful having the ability to be able to use your cards on other devices while unable to access the device in which you made your cards on originally all in all great app, I just wish they would add a feature that would make this more accessible.
