Wenn man sich einmal eingefunden hat, klapp‘s super. Ich hatte vorher Goodnotes und bin hier zufriedener 👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Using for 12 years *2026-05-18, version 4.82* I am a physician. I have been in medical school/residency for 10 years. This app has seen me through much of my studying. I tried anki but it just didn't work for me. What I like about this app is that it allows lots of personalization. I can text to speech, add photos from the internet straight from the app, use spaced repetition with lots of adjustments, multiple sided cards for harder topics, search my whole deck with the workaround, backup my decks. The developer is very responsive. I remember having a question when I started using the app a long time ago and was answered immediately. I'll probably be using this for the rest of my career to keep up with the knowledge. Thanks for a great stable app! ### 5/5 — Pre-med *2025-10-30, version 4.78* Clearly, comments from 7 years ago probably didn’t like the app, but it’s a simple app and not a “for profit” app. You can separate things; I think it’s pretty good. It’s totally fine the way it is, but if I had to suggest improvements, I’d say more convenience. Honestly, it’s perfect as it is. I just hope the developers don’t become money-hungry. I’ve bought it on my phone and iPad, and I like the app. Adding AI could make it a lot more convenient, but honestly, that can sometimes be the downfall of companies. So, great app👍thank you. Oh yeah I almost forgot I'm definitely gonna donate also b/c the background is basic lol BUT, BUT the app is perfect so don’t become money hungry like Quizlet. Great app. ### 5/5 — Great flashcards app *2025-10-20, version 4.78* Love this app. Easy to use. I use it on my MacBook Pro and my iPad. I can mass create lists and download to both my devices so I can use it at my desk and on the road. ### 5/5 — Really truly amazing *2025-10-17, version 4.78* Should be more famous than it is. Way more flexibility than Quizlet or even Anka. Greatly enhancing my language learning. ### 5/5 — Still the best *2025-10-14, version 4.78* Been using this app for 10+ years and it is still rock solid, no subscriptions or micro transactions needed. I get straight to learning. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Fantstic *2025-10-07, version 4.76* This app has better functionality than its better known competitors. Each card can have multiple sides and you can group them into multiple categories. It’s also actively supported. I wrote to the developer about a problem that I was having creating cards with Khmer alphabet text and they wrote back the same day with an easy to implement solution. Really glad we chose Flashcards deluxe for our study group! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2025-09-15* The only thing I miss is the possibility to create folders inside a folder to better organize my Flashcards. Other than that, the app is pretty solid! ### 5/5 — Still great *2025-09-14, version 4.76* I thought I’d write a more recent review for this app that I’ve been using for many years. Notice how long ago people were excited about it, and it is still being maintained regularly. Very few flash card apps support multiple sides on a card. That feature alone makes this app stand out. I check back every few years to see if anything better has come along that also has this capability; this one remains a solid choice. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-30, version 4.74* Amazing app, so many options. Very happy with it ### 4/5 — Import functionality missing? *2025-07-24, version 4.74* It would be great if it could import card decks. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-07-21, version 4.74* I have used this app for ages. I have used it to teach junior doctors and medical students - drugs, physiology, cardiology obstetrics and many more topics. I have hundreds of “cards”. The 5 pages are brilliant. You can save written word, images the lot, and customise each page. It synchronises with the cloud and comes up on my 3 Apple products (2 iPhones and 1 iPad). Now, having retired I use it as a database for my friends and for my finances. Love it ! ### 5/5 — Best Flashcard App *2025-06-22, version 4.74* I have been using this App on and off for many years and cannot speak more highly of its functionality and the app creators continuous support to keep making it even better. I have tried other similar Apps for comparison but none beat Flashcards Deluxe for me. In particular how the App adjusts the time intervals between testing cards based on how many times in a row(streak) a particular card has been answered correctly. ### 5/5 — An Excellent App *2025-06-18, version 4.74* I’ve been using this app for probably seven years now on and off, and it’s incredible. You can quick study flashcards or do more longer term spaced repetition study. You can upload lists on their website and then download the flashcards on the app using a code that you create. Using this, I was able to take a PDF on my computer of the top 1000 Spanish words and then convert it into flashcards on my phone within 10 minutes. Very useful, functional, simple app with no bloated features I don’t use. ### 5/5 — 12 ans déjà *2025-05-22* Ça fait 12 ans que j’utilise cette application tous les jours. Avec elle j’ai appris le japonais, Java, Angular, AZURE, la guitare, la rhétorique et encore bien d’autres choses. J’ai testé plein d’appli avant de m’arrêter sur celle là. C’est pas la plus simple mais c’est la meilleure (souplesse, fonctionnalités…). On sent que le développeur l’a d’abord fait pour lui et qu’il l’utilise aussi. ### 5/5 — Lejos la mejor aplicación *2025-04-16, version 4.70* Llevo más de 10 año utilizando esta aplicación y nunca me ha fallado, en todo este tiempo, constantemente se ha estado actualizando y nunca he perdido ningún dato. Además es de fácil uso y tiene muchas herramientas. Por el precio y calidad, supera a cualquiera en su clase. 100% recomendada!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent and no privacy concerns *2025-04-08, version 4.70* Used while at uni and still using it ### 5/5 — Still awesome *2025-03-10, version 4.70* Simple to the point ### 5/5 — Superb *2025-02-23, version 4.70* This application has proven to be highly effective, surpassing my initial expectations. Setting up flashcards for my Arabic studies was quick and intuitive, making it a valuable resource for advanced language learning. A particularly useful feature is the ability to draw directly within the app on an iPad, which enhances the study of Arabic script and complex linguistic structures. As I continue using the app, I expect to uncover additional features that will further support academic research and PhD-level study. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-09-21* The app simply stopped synchronizing with the OneDrive and Dropbox account. I can’t back up anything I created in the app via OneDrive. Please fix this!!! **Developer response:** Hi. I don’t know of any issues with the app right now. I recommend you log out of OneDrive from within the app and try again. If still not working, you can email me at et@orangeorapple.com ### 1/5 — csv files dont import correctly *2024-11-19, version 4.70* what is the format? two columns should be two card sides but it doesn 't work ### 1/5 — Just Bad *2024-09-01, version 4.69.1* Way to complicated for flashcards. No where dose it tell you how to add flashcards to a deck. They want you to watch 15 minutes for a tutorial. I understand there is a learning curve to this app, however it takes too long how to figure out how to do the basics. ### 1/5 — 구글드라이브 연결이안되요 ㅠ *2024-08-24, version 4.69.1* 구글 스프레드시트로 작업해서 다운받아서 핸드폰이나 아이패드로 보려고 하는데 아이패드, 아이폰 다 안되는데 어떻게해결해야할까요ㅠㅠㅠ 액세스가 거부되었다고 나와요 따로 구글어플이나 사파리에서 액세스 거부되어있지 않습니다 ### 1/5 — SO CONFUSING *2024-02-12, version 4.53* WASTE OF MONEY. ### 1/5 — Not available in Ukraine *2024-01-26, version 4.65* Bought it and used for years, was a huge fan, but now can’t re-download it on a new phone cause for some reason it’s not available in my country. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with “Always Allowed” in Apple Screentime *2023-10-13, version 4.61* If you have to have parental restrictions, limiting what apps are allowed and not allowed on your children’s phone, for some reason, Flashcards deluxe doesn’t work. Might have something to do with the name, because it is listed in the “always allowed” section of screen time as “Flashcards” Instead of “Flashcards Deluxe”. I have used this program for years, but I cannot recommend it for use with children since you can’t whitelist it. Path: settings > screen time > [child’s name] > always allowed ### 1/5 — SSL error *2023-09-04, version 4.61* I have tried multiple times to get this app to work, I always get an SSL error saying my connection to the servers is not secure. I have deleted and reinstalled the app on my iPad and MacBook. I have used my personal Wi-Fi and and my school’s. I have tried turning off Wi-Fi and using cell data and nothing works. I am disappointed and feel that I have wasted my money on this app. ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2022-11-20, version 4.53* No clear way to create the kinds of cards where you have to enter the answer with a keyboard (if there exists a way to do this it isn’t clear at all) — and no clear way to mark self-scored cards as wrong. These are very BASIC features that a flash card program needs — and I am baffled that a program lacking these features could get even two stars - let alone the high rating that this one got. ### 1/5 — Totally incomprehensible *2022-09-22, version 4.49* I cannot find any comprehensible instructions so that I may create my own deck. The instructions on the makers website so not match what is on my iPad screen, so I presume they are out of date. I am disappointed. Hoping for a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Terrific, simple & functional but powerful *2026-06-10, version 4.79* Have been using this app for maybe 15 years, for a wide range of topics, from languages to economics. My daughter used it throughout her university study. It’s great, does what it says, effective and the developer is really responsive if there’s hiccups. ### 5/5 — 이미지 확대 기능 요청 *2026-05-07* 노트 필기한 이미지나 캡처한 사진을 올려서 자주 보는데 이미지가 작아 잘 보이지 않습니다. 이미지 클릭시 확대되어 보였으면 합니다. ### 5/5 — This is the one *2026-04-17* This week I mistakenly deleted my fav flash card app (StickyStudy) and because it is no longer on the app store I wasnt able to install it again. I was really sad and angry. I found this app and although I am not fan of the icon. I thought of giving this app a shot. This is a treasure chest. First, all my .txt data from the previous app was imported perfectly from Dropbox. Even the complete folders! One thing that lacked the previous app was folder creation and organization. Well, this app can do it. For the first two hours using this app I spent more time customizing than studying. The layout and flashcard deck customization options are excellent. (Difficult to get it at first). But now I have a Hello Kitty pink study aid that makes me want to study. The quiz game are quite entertaining. Give this app a chance. Now it is my fav flash card app!!! ### 5/5 — Very niet and smart app *2026-04-03, version 4.79* I love this app, especially the Leitner method. It lacks some features such as we interface version to easily add and mange decks accross devices. ### 5/5 — Super *2026-03-13* Das Design war damals schon etwas „funktional“, aber es tut seinen Job. - Die App ist komplex… ja, aber einfach am Anfang den Stapel mit der Einführung ansehen und man lernt alles was man im normalen Gebrauch können muss (und dass ist echt nicht schwer). - Also wer bereit ist sich 5 Minuten vor dem Lernen mit der App auseinanderzusetzen wird Freude an ihr haben. ### 5/5 — Efficace *2026-02-17* Présente sur mon iPhone depuis … le tout début (12ans ?) ### 5/5 — simples Design und mega Funktionen *2026-02-05, version 4.79* Ich benutze die App seit zwei Jahren zum Lernen fürs Mathe- und Informatikstudium und würde sie jedem empfehlen. Das design der app ist recht simpel, was ideal ist zum Lernen. Außerdem liebe ich die Option, dass Karten mehr als zwei Seiten haben können und dass man eigene Bilder einfügen kann. Finde die App wirklich klasse! ### 5/5 — 이번 ios 26 업데이트 후 *2026-01-20* 아이패드에서 그동안 잘 사용하다가 이번 ios26 업데이트 후 단어를 생성하기 위해 +를 누르고 칸을 눌러도 눌리지 않는 현상이 가끔 일어납니다. 처음 실행시키고 나서는 몇번은 잘 되다가 어느순간 칸이 눌리지 않는 현상이 빈번이 발생함. 터치 자체가 안됨. 그러면서도 단어를 찾기 위해 검색창은 또 터치 가능함. 멀티태스킹(윈도우형 앱)을 사용하는 경우 그런거 같기도 함(x, _, 확대/축소 아이콘이 <항목을 가리기도 함). 이런 증상이 생기면 앱을 종료시키고 다시 앱을 켜서 실행 시키면 몇번 되다가 안되는 현상이 반복되네요. 확인 후 업데이트 부탁드립니다. ### 5/5 — Пик изобретательской мысли *2026-01-03* Инструмент, овладев которым, ты будешь на три шага впереди ### 5/5 — Please *2025-12-30* Please an update to use this precious apps on Apple Watch. It’s really a great and wonderful flashcards. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
