## What is Flashcard Hero?

Make your own flash cards and take the pressure out of test preparation. Flashcard Hero keeps track of what facts you already know so you can focus on what you don’t know and save a lot of time. 

We made Flashcard Hero for those of you who want to fit more than a few words on each card. You can add images, lists, and use text formatting to structure your content.

- Write cards on your iPhone/iPad

- Add images

- Group cards into topics

- Text formatting & lists

- Find and study only difficult cards

- iCloud Drive support (syncs with the Mac app, which is a separate purchase)


Study Options:

- Memorizing cards by covering the answer

- Multiple Choice tests with randomly picked or predefined answers

- Supports studying with the Spaced Repetition System (Leitner Box System)


For Teachers and Educators:

- Compatible with the Remote Control feature of the Mac app. You can use the iOS app as a remote to control the study mode on the Mac while you are projecting on a big screen.



People use the Flashcard Hero Mac & iOS apps to study many different subjects. Here’s a short list of the most popular subjects based on the over 2 million cards that users have shared among each other so far:

- Medicine (anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, genetics)
- Psychology
- Law & business administration (economics, marketing, international law)
- History and politics
- Languages (Latin, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Spanish, German)
- Social sciences
- Music and music theory
- Space physiology (how cool is that?)
- Many more…

You see a lot of subjects in the top ranks where people have to memorize a lot of “structured” information. That’s because Flashcard Hero is designed specifically to go beyond language learning, offering more room on each card for facts, lists, and images. You can also organize cards into topics (to match chapters of a text book, for example).

Note: This app is a single, one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. The App Store might list the app as having in-app purchases, but those are only for backwards compatibility with an earlier version of the app. With this download, you get all features right away.

### 5/5 — Best Flashcard app

*2026-05-30, version 3.7.3*

Love it!

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2026-05-17, version 3.7.3*

I can’t even figure out how to add content to a card. I can’t figure out the difference between the 2 cards that you can add. I don’t like being forced to create a deck before I create a card. The developer’s brain wiring is much different than mine and I’m frustrated and stressed out because this does not feel intuitive to me.

### 4/5 — Gut, aber es fehlt die Möglichkeit Zeichnungen in der App hinzuzufügen

*2025-11-14*

Grundsätzlich bin ich sehr zufrieden. Familienfreigabe und das Teilen der Karten klappt gut. Ich würde sehr gerne diese App dazu nutzen Mathe und Musik zu lernen. Hier fehlt die Möglichkeit mit einem Stift Sonderzeichen wie Notenschlüssel oder Beispielskizzen usw. einzufügen. Des Weiteren wäre eine Suchfunktion wünschenswert, damit ich zB Vokabeln nicht doppelt eingebe oder einfach prüfen kann, ob ich dazu schon einmal etwas eingegeben habe.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-07-10, version 3.7.2*

I have spent an hour on this app to enter one multiple choice question and nothing works. Very user unfriendly.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2025-04-25, version 3.7.2*

I have been using Flashcard Hero for over 5 years. It has worked great for collaborating with teammates in building and editing decks. Best part is the search function, I can choose a word and get all the flashcards with that word which helps me compare questions and answers. It’s like 5 dollars and it will pay for itself.

### 5/5 — So useful

*2025-03-30, version 3.7.2*

Uploaded 8700 Spanish words and meanings. I have settings on both ways so the card will either be Spanish or English.
I am also considering putting my table tennis coaching lessons on the App so I look for the appropriate category and the choose from the appropriate lessons.
I can’t see a reason why you can’t put anything on like recipes.
Great App.

### 4/5 — Excellent app but needs improvement

*2025-02-23, version 3.7.2*

Would love to use my ipad pro keyboard shortcuts much like on the mac like Ctr+N for a new notecard. Ctr+T for a new topic. I’d also like to be able to copy a word in color and paste that word in color. I’d also like to interface different languages into the cards so it can read me the correct pronunciations and possible corrected spelling (if any)

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2024-10-28, version 3.7.2*

Been using for yrs. Learned for exams learned languages. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-08-07, version 3.7.2*

An amazing, versatile flashcard app with many functions to aid organization and memorization. The flashcards can be formatted with rich text, charts, and more. Easy to use, no bugs encountered so far, after a few years of regular use. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2024-07-06, version 3.7.2*

Wonderful tool. Keeps it simple allowing you to focus on getting the job done. Well done guys for creating this app!!
