### 2/5 — Don’t use this app if you wish to do your studying offline

*2026-08-21, version 1.6.0*

This app will not let you use it once it’s offline, you need you watch an an ad for 30 minutes and if not you have to wait a decent amount of time just to use the app. I don’t like this app due to the fact it has ads it takes me out of focus from what I am doing, so to save you the headache don’t use this app. It’s just unfortunate and really annoying.

### 3/5 — 😕

*2025-12-28, version 1.5.2*

It’s a great app, but I don’t like the feature that you have to pay for you to input new images. It’s max is just 20 pictures and if you delete them it removes the image from all the flash cards. Other than that if you do end up, paying to use the app and having access to more than just 20 images, then it’s an amazing app.

### 4/5 — Gayet Basit Gayet Basarili

*2025-08-06, version 1.5.1*

Nadir de olsa ucretli uygulamada dahi ara sira cikan reklamlar disinda, oldukca sade bir arayuze sahip olan uygulama gayet basit ve gayet basarili. Sagindan solunda bir seyler cikan, fonksiyon ekleme adi altinda amacindan uzaklasan uygulamalardan degil. Masanizin uzerinde bulunan yuzlerce flas karti her zaman yaninizda tasiyabildiginiz etkin bir uygulama

### 2/5 — バージョンアップすると速度調整できない！

*2025-02-04, version 1.4.8*

バージョンアップすると速度調整できず、早すぎる
バージョンアップしないほうがよい
早急に対応しないと使えない

### 3/5 — …

*2025-01-29, version 1.4.8*

It is nice and I literally learn everything but the quiz feature is not workinggg🥹🥹

### 5/5 — Fun and effective! Wonderful improvements!

*2025-01-26, version 1.4.8*

The first thing that I love about this app is that it’s continually being improved by its developer(s). Anytime I want something added as a feature, I can send an email to the address listed on the support tab, and they respond right away. If my idea was something that could be implemented, they include it in the next update along with tons of other improvements. They really care about their users. 

Secondly, I love how easy it is. I’m learning Mandarin Chinese, which is a tonal language. For me, the most effective way to lean what tone a character is, is to color-code each card. There are other ways, but this is the most effective way for me to remember the tones. It’s extremely easy for me to just choose what color I want the card to be while I’m making it. 

The second thing I love is the ease of organizing the flash cards. I have multiple folders and within each folder I have many cards which I can then put in order using the “list” feature. With this feature I can also easily duplicate the card, move it to another folder, or delete the card. 

I love how easy it is to just mark (bookmark) the cards you want to be tested on. When I’m working on a particular Chinese lesson, I want to be able to easily mark the cards that are associated with just that lesson and test myself on those only, and I can do that in this app by simply clicking on the bookmark icon of each one. Then, when I move on to another lesson, I can unmark those and mark the new cards I want studied. With the “list” feature I can easily just go through and click all the cards I want marked or unmarked, without having to view each one individually. 

Chinese characters are very complex. The only way to remember some of them is to make note of which components make up the character. This is a lot of additional information that I don’t want on the card itself but I want to be able to view it easily if I need to. That’s where the “memo” feature really comes in handy. Some cards don’t need this additional info but some do, and it’s information that I don’t necessarily need all the time but sometimes I do. “Memo” is the perfect feature for that. 

When I want a quick review, I look over the cards as a list. The different colors and the bold text make them simply beautiful. When I want to carefully study each card, view the memo notes, view the picture if I’ve included one, and hear how each word sounds, I browse the cards normally. Then, when I’m ready to be tested, I go to the quiz feature, select which folder and how many cards, and off I go into a challenging multiple choice quiz that is just right for me. I have tried a lot of flashcard apps, but this is the one I will continually use. It is just right for me.

### 5/5 — Super user friendly! :D

*2025-01-13, version 1.4.6*

I am so glad it’s so easy to use, and that you can sort out your flash cards in folders, and even choose colours! i was getting really frustrated trying to use other apps, this one is very straightforward and has some really good simple features that other apps are lacking!

### 2/5 — Keeps Freezing in Search

*2025-01-12, version 1.4.6*

Not a bad app.  Biggest annoyance is when searching for a word, the word found cannot be selected. Trying to open the word does nothing. Please fix.

### 4/5 — Bagus tapi kurang jelas tululisannya

*2025-01-03, version 1.4.3*

Semoga di perbaharui lagi

### 5/5 — Tuyệt

*2025-01-03, version 1.4.3*

Tốt

### 4/5 — improvement that can be made

*2025-01-01, version 1.4.3*

i like this app but i wish it allow screen split as i got my notes from other app such as colla and files, also wish that when i sync my notes on ipad and iphone, any changes on either of them will keep up and changes on the other devices as well, maybe do something like canva when lot of people use it at the same time on same file.

### 1/5 — Dulu Gratis Sekarang Berbayar

*2026-07-29, version 1.5.9*

Sekarang semua serba Iklan. Males bet lah

### 1/5 — Not a good app tho

*2026-07-15, version 1.5.8*

I can’t recommend this app. I paid for premium account and still got advertisement when I’m offline or online. To the developer make your app more accessible even if it online or offline because we’re paying you and your app yet your app is not good enough for the price we paid. Not recommend student.

### 1/5 — New app model is not worth it

*2026-07-09, version 1.5.8*

I’ve been using this app for years and never minded the occasional ad. But now it’s either wait over a minute to use it for 10 minutes, watch an ad for 30 minutes of use, or “rent” for 240 yen/month? No thanks - there are plenty of other Flashcard apps out there. I wouldn’t mind paying once and having the app permanently - it’s a simple and useful tool - but I’m not renting it. I’ll just move on.

Plus, I tried the “watch ad for 30 minutes of use” option and it didn’t let me use the app after watching - twice!

### 1/5 — Jelek

*2026-07-08, version 1.5.8*

Aplikasi  apa ini woy dah nyatet banyak malah macet, mode offline tiba tiba gak bisa

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-06-07, version 1.5.6*

Glitches out after about 3 flash cards.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-06-25, version 1.4.9*

This app offers no copy/paste function. Every card has to be entered manually. Very time consuming to set up and not user friendly

### 1/5 — Error terus

*2025-03-22, version 1.4.8*

Udah masukin kodenya tapi folder tidak muncul
Kalau pencet tombol back malah error aplikasinya

### 1/5 — 自動再生速度がおかしい

*2025-02-05, version 1.4.8*

早すぎるので遅くしようとしたが遅くしても変わらない
自動再生機能使うユーザーはこのアプリやめておいた方がいい。
前は調整できたのでバグとしか思えない。
はっきり言って改悪で最低。

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2024-12-13, version 1.4.3*

### 1/5 — Tá com problema

### 5/5 — This is what Ive been looking for

*2026-08-16, version 1.6.0*

no fancy buttons, js a simple and easy flash card maker, but I rlly want to input emojis in the text box can we pls update this function🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Best One Yet

*2026-05-03, version 1.5.6*

Absolutely love this app! I searched for so many flash card apps, because I’m very picky about my flash cards, and this was perfect for what I need. Unlimited cards/decks/subjects without having to pay a dime (so far anyway, but I’ve made MANY and haven’t reached a limit). I can star specific cards to focus only on cards I’m struggling with. So easy to use and organize. And I can write the info onto my cards with a pen and it types it up for me. Has a quiz filter and several other amazing tools. Only possible downside is there is a limit to how many pictures you can add without having to pay for an upgrade, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me. Cannot say enough amazing things and will be recommending to anyone who asks!!!

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2026-03-30, version 1.5.6*

I really love this app because you can make your own flashcards.It creates exams for you and really helps to study. Plus it’s free!

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2026-03-28, version 1.5.6*

I love that it has a quiz function. Kind of makes it feel like I’m playing Duolingo while learning my coursework:)

### 5/5 — Best free app

*2026-02-26, version 1.5.4*

Can’t thank you enough, in a App Store full of subscriptions, this app went above and had it fully free. I had almost 1k of Flashcards, I was able to make them color coordinated, and even test myself within the app using its features, I was able to pass my state exam after using this app very often, thank you thank you. Only thing I tried to sync to my phone since I used an iPad, was unable to download sync, still was ok, grateful still. There was also a nighttime feature that I definitely used for when my eyes strained or extra studying at night. I was also able to check my answers which I got wrong wnich was a huge plus. Keep up the great work 💕

### 5/5 — Good thanks so much

*2026-01-06, version 1.5.2*

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2025-09-04, version 1.5.1*

### 5/5 — Amazing app and support

*2025-04-13, version 1.4.9*

I love this app, simple UI and great for memorizing. Best part is when I emailed Ben (the developer) with an feedback he replied immediately. Loved it.

### 5/5 — Amazing Support

*2025-01-29, version 1.4.8*

Ben was incredibly helpful when I couldn’t get the older version of this app to upload from my outdated iPad onto my new iPhone. I’m so delighted to use this great tool again without having to rewrite the 217 cards I had already created.
