## What is Flashcards?

Build your own flashcards
Create your own study decks and cards. Use the cards to help you study, quiz yourself, and use the accuracy tracker to determine which areas you need to focus on.

Swipe through cards
Study flashcards by swiping through the deck, tapping to reveal the card’s answer. Adjust text size to make your content easy-to-read.

Quiz yourself
Test yourself with shuffled decks, swiping right or left to indicate if you got the answer right or wrong. At the end of the quiz, you can choose to retest yourself on the incorrect subset as many times as you’d like or until you no longer have answered any incorrectly. 

Track your accuracy
View your quiz results and use the card accuracy calculated from the results to help identify which cards to focus on. 
Use the accuracy indicator to help color-code cards when studying that fall below your specified accuracy threshold.

Thats abusing

### 4/5 — Great App

*2024-11-11*

This app provides all the basic features of a flashcard program. My only complaint is that while you can import data from a csv file, there appears to be no way to download data into a csv or comparable format. Thus, it doesn’t communicate well with other programs.

### 1/5 — Rip-off pricing

*2024-07-10*

Sync for 4.99/month? I can get a TB of cloud drive subscription with that price

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-05-28*

Great app. Would be brilliant if an update in the future could allow for duplicating cards to other decks :)

### 1/5 — Dirty Rats

*2024-03-31*

You charge for the app and then give limited service you piecemeal  limited login privileges, but do not allow you to go any further until you get the 399 deal that’s robbery out things that are not needed

### 4/5 — Good 4/5

*2023-11-30, version 3.3*

It’s good

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2023-06-06*

I started using this app to help me learn Icelandic a week ago and so far I love it! It’s simple, easy to use, and free! I hate when flashcard apps aren’t free, and pretty much all of them are. I 100% recommend this app!

TL;DR: 
Great, easy to use app! Totally recommend it!

### 5/5 — I’m already learning better!

*2023-03-20*

It’s easy to make these flashcards, and thanks to the analytics I can see that I am already learning every time I review and take a quiz.  With the low-cost subscription, I can now review at home on my iPad, or anywhere on my phone.  I’m enjoying the assistance as I try to learn Portuguese!
