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. ### 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 — Consider making an Apple Watch version ? *2024-01-27, version 3.7* I think an Apple Watch version can be very useful. It is already a too great app. ### 5/5 — Helpful Language Learning Aid *2023-12-22, version 3.7* I’m learning a language. I send flashcards to my phone and practice while waiting on lines, in my car, etc. ### 5/5 — Tsar of Swing Shift Plant Operations *2023-12-02, version 3.7* Flashcard Hero is wonderfully intuitive and efficient. It has been a great resource to help me study for a variety of state certification exams, agency exams and interviews. I also recommend it to my trainees at work to assist them in memorizing important information. Thank you Flashcard Hero!! ### 5/5 — Schneller Support *2023-04-24* Ich habe ausversehen meine Daten gelöscht und somit waren die Informationen für die kompletten Karteikarten weg. Ich habe per Email Hilfe angefordert und am selben Tag noch eine Antwort erhalten. Super freundlich und schnell. Dia App an sich ist auch für den Preis gut (Ankis ist da ja viel teurer). Man kann Fotos einfügen etc. Bin sehr zufrieden und hab auch meine ganzen Daten wieder :) ### 5/5 — Great little app *2023-03-26, version 3.6.3* I have been using this app for couple of months now. It does the job well. It breaks the cards in chunks, so it is easy to do the memorising on a daily basis. It feels like I am doing a little quiz each day and learning. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-11-23, version 3.6* Love this app. Works well. Many options to view cards in random or ordered. Question or Answer first or randomised. With the decks stored on my iCloud I can study on many devices ### 5/5 — Best Flashcard App *2022-10-21, version 3.6* Been using this for years and years since high school. Never failed me once. Truly appreciate its seamless connection between Mac and iPhone. ### 5/5 — Great but... *2022-07-24, version 3.6* The interface with the Mac desktop is amazing. But. Quizlet recently got rid of their auto play cards feature. They also offer auto play foreign languages on the iPhone. This is a big opportunity and yet a drawback to this app. As someone who is an auditory learner the auto play flashcards and having the ability to listen on the iPhone was critical. I am currently looking for a solution, in this app is not that. The creators of this app are very responsive to the ideas of the users. They are always testing new features. ### 5/5 — Outstanding Flashcard Program *2022-07-04, version 3.6* This app has been extremely helpful in learning Spanish vocabulary. You can show the questions or answers, plus have the words spoken by a native Spanish speaker. Plus, I can use the same decks of cards on all my Apple devices. The creator of the app gives quick answers to my questions. One of the best app on my computer. ### 5/5 — Worth every single penny! *2022-06-18, version 3.6* I have been using this app for over three years. It is absolutely fantastic! I used it previously as I was going through a Cemap exam and took a punt on it, as actual cards were too much hassle for the amount of info I was taking. It worked wonders as I typed the notes on my iPad Pro and used the cards on my iPhone when out and about. Passed all three exams, and can honestly say that Flashcard Hero was probably the main reason I passed. I have since starting using again as I now find myself getting more and more involved in Data analysis. I am now using it on a windows laptop but have been able to transfer from iCloud to Windows and it’s as fantastic and in tuition as it always was. I had a query with Rico and he came back incredibly quickly with a response that saved me numerous frustrating trying to resolve myself. Thank you Rico! ### 5/5 — Great App: Super effective way to study *2022-06-14, version 3.6* I bought the app for my phone and computer. I love how simple and effective they are. Making sets of cards is very easy, organizing or moving cards between sets is easy, and best of all everything syncs between my phone and computer. I do all the card setup and creation on the computer where it’s more convenient. It’s simple making quick edits on the phone if necessary. Then I can study on either platform and it keeps track of my progress. I feel like I’ve done much better with memorization since I started using this app. Definitely recommended, worth the money! ### 5/5 — Use this frequently *2022-05-23, version 3.6* It’s a nice app! I use it for memorization of important words. I find it very handy to have it sinc to my windows pc and iPhone ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-05-14, version 3.6* I use this app all the time and is a fabulous accompaniment for the Mac app which is slightly more capable.This is great on the move and really handy on my iPhone use it with students and for myself and it’s probably the best flashcard app in the App Store. I would thoroughly recommend it.Also great customer feedback from the turn the author who got back to me within hours of a small query ### 4/5 — Decent *2022-05-12, version 3.6* I like the app but wish it was easier to navigate. I find myself having to force quit the app often just to get back to all my decks. I would also like the option of adding a title to the cover of decks, and perhaps more symbols. ### 5/5 — The best out there *2022-04-26, version 3.5.1* I’ve relied on this app for numerous professional exams, interview prep and more for nearly a decade. It’s so quick and easy to make flashcards and learn them on the go. Totally worth it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — No apple pencil support *2022-10-12, version 3.6* Please add support for Apple Pencil. I bought this app on MacOS first. Then bought on iPadOS with the high hope for pencil supported. My hope was shattered. Lol. I’m okay with this app for now. But I wish I could draw so I could visualize concepts. Thanks. ### 1/5 — iCloud sync doesn’t work *2020-07-13, version 3.4.1* If you’re considering buying the premium version to get iCloud sync, don’t bother. It is incredibly unreliable and buggy. The cards will at a minimum take hours to sync, sometimes days, and often they will simply just never sync. Couldn’t possibly be less satisfied. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2016-03-21, version 2.3.1* The app freezes all the time! I have to delete it & reinstall it to make it work. Considering the price, it's a ripoff. ### 2/5 — Good on Mac OS, bad on iOS 9.3.5 *2018-03-29, version 2.8* App will not function properly on iOS 9.3.5 and will not sync any decks from iCloud. Do not purchase unless you have the newest devices. Works very well on Mac OS though. ### 2/5 — Please add search function *2018-01-13, version 2.6* I love this app and use it everyday for studying, but I think there should be a search function like the one available for the Mac version. I think many would agree that manually searching for 1 card among hundreds can be very frustrating. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2016-03-10, version 2.3.1* If you're in love with Flashcard Hero for Mac like I am, this app is almost a must have. This app gets a lot right, but leaves too much room for improvement. It's definitely not worth $6.00... Anything more than $0.99 is too expensive. ESPECIALLY in this early stage when there are responsiveness and design issues that need to be addressed. I pretty much only paid for this app so I could write a review to tell people not to buy it for it's current price. ### 2/5 — Not yet ready *2015-12-01, version 2.1* This app still has some bugs that need to be ironed out e.g. iCloud duplications. When you slide to reveal the answer, sometimes you get the next question. Please sort this out ### 3/5 — App not fetching Cards from mac as i update it *2021-05-06* after i upload cards in mac, app does not show the newly added cards. i bought both apps paying cash so that i can use it in my phone also. please find me a solution **Developer response:** Thanks for getting in touch. I'm here to help. If syncing did work before, restart both devices. If that does not help, please get in touch by email (there's a contact link in the app's settings) and we'll figure it out. Let me know if that helps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Flashcard app *2026-05-30, version 3.7.3* Love it! ### 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. ### 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!! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-06-24, version 3.7.2* Easy to use and well thought out. Totally recommend for memorization. I use it to learn German. ### 5/5 — Pratique et utile *2024-06-23* Outil pratique, utile pour moi pour apprendre du vocabulaire, dans une langue étrangère. Je préfère créer mes propres set de révision. Demande de la Constance et de la répétition pour arriver à un résultat. C’est très bon pour la mémoire et très maniable comme outil. Je le recommande à tous ceux qui veulent fixer des mots. ### 5/5 — Please give us dark mode *2024-06-15, version 3.7.2* Love the app. Wish it had dark mode when memorising ### 5/5 — Best App for Gaining High Marks *2024-03-20, version 3.7* Using this app I’ve been able to gain a 85 HD and 89.9 HD in two university classes respectively. As well as other high marks in all classes. It works extremely well syncing across devices. Eg the Computer, iPad and iPhone. When memorising cards the ones you are unsure about are shown to you multiple times. You can easily study cards of your phone when waiting in line or on the bus ect. I recommend to to other students and will be using it as for the remainder of my university career. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
