### 4/5 — Audio playback for language learning

*2024-06-16, version 4.4.5*

This is a great app, but it would be much more helpful with an ability to insert audio playback (just playback of your dictation) for language learning

### 2/5 — Great concept. Glitches make it unusable.

*2024-04-12, version 4.4.5*

I like when things are simple and visually appealing, but I also like when they work.

My partner and I both paid $3.99 to turn off ads and have the editing features.

Then I created two decks. I shared the first one and he was able to open it - although one of the cards had a double. Then I tried sharing the second deck and the link brought him back to the app and no second deck. We tried everything- deleting and reinstalling, sending ad a file, etc. After a delete attempt i could no longer share the first deck that worked the first time around. 

Bummer… hopefully the developers use our $8 towards fixing the app. 

In the meantime we are going to use old fashioned index cards.

### 3/5 — Buena

*2022-09-06, version 4.4.5*

Me gustó mucho, aunque a veces tiene fallas como que solo te pone la primera o la última tarjeta.
Y por más que agito el teléfono no las pone al azar

### 4/5 — Mejorar

*2022-02-22, version 4.4.5*

Buenos días.

Una mejora importante a mi parecer seria que por defecto, para editar las tarjetas saliera siempre el método de escritura por teclado (en lugar del pincel). Creo que se usa mucho más esa forma de escritura.

Gracias.

### 4/5 — Perfect app, but need a way to resize images

*2021-02-04, version 4.4.5*

This app is perfect for my anatomy course so I bought the pro version. The only thing missing from this app is the function to be able to resize images.

### 4/5 — Me gusta

*2020-08-11, version 4.4.5*

Me ha gustado mucho, es bastante fácil de usar y no está saturada, ideal si no te gusta que las cosas estén súper saturadas. 
No le doy 5 estrellas, porque no sé si está app se pueda usar en la computadora y ahí hacer las tarjetas más rápido.

### 4/5 — Questio

*2020-07-24, version 4.4.5*

Do our cards saved in icloud.…?
Fore example can I view my cards that created in my iPad in my iphon?

### 2/5 — Wanted to like it

*2020-05-13, version 4.4.5*

This app was, unfortunately, quite difficult to use and I am disappointed I spent the money. Doing the swiping all over the place, which the draws on your notes because it responds to touch as well (most people have a pencil now, so that can really be a dropped feature-drawing with a finger or add a button the tells the app which a person is using). Icons representing the various swipes would be much easier to use, and somehow, I accidentally ended up erasing the notes I had finally figure out how to make. Then I made a new card and couldn’t get back to the old one. So, in summary, I really wanted to like this app, but I suppose I’ll go the traditional route or find another app.

### 4/5 — High level view of all cards

*2020-03-14, version 4.4.5*

Hi I like the app a lot. It would be even better if i could see all cards at once and pick any card. Also if i could go right to the beginning, end or middle by touching the appropriate dot on the bottom of the card that would be handy. Thanks

### 4/5 — One thing

*2020-01-14, version 4.4.5*

An eraser instead of cleaning the entire card would be great.
Also the Apple Pencil issues
But great app anyway.

### 2/5 — Bought pro version, missing key feature.

*2019-08-21, version 4.4.5*

Cannot change pen thickness.

### 2/5 — Okay app

*2019-03-09, version 4.4.5*

I got this app to help me study and use as reminder cards. The app is pretty good. I would give it more if we could use images on our phone to add to cards. I’m using an ereader and there are some diagrams I’d like to capture and include in the cards. The cards are integrated with the camera but they should also be integrated with your photo library. I would have given this a much higher rating if that had been the case.

### 2/5 — Too less functionality-Too expensive

*2019-02-17, version 4.4.5*

Hi Developers!
Thanks for your work!
I just bought the app and checked all the Pro Features!
I’d like  to place and fix a single topic-card to a place I choose - how?
I’d like to scale the topic-overview in each direction - but it’s only possible to the left.Why?
I’d like to scale and position my photo- would you add this? 
I’ d like to reposition my text- is this planned?
I’ d like to have a blank template- card to use- is that in your mind too?

### 2/5 — Great app, but weird feature

*2019-02-04, version 4.4.5*

Would be nice if there is a randomize button as oppose needing to shake my phone. And maybe a button to flip the flash card too as oppose to holding the card for some time.
The shaking is very not responsive, and holding takes some time. A button for both would be perfect. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Could use more features

*2019-01-13, version 4.4.5*

Missing useful features:

Line width options for the Apple Pencil. Hand writing is too thick.

Ability to import photos, not just take photos.

Ability to resize and position the photos and text manually.

Other than that, it serves its purpose.

### 3/5 — Annoying that it converts “a” to “&” when I cut and paste

*2018-12-07, version 4.4.5*

I am using it to create some cards for teaching, and whenever I copy text from a web browser page into a card, it converts “a” to “&,” which I find very annoying. I was correcting it at first, but it has become way to time-consuming to do that, so I’ll have to live with cards with “&” where “a” should be.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2018-11-16, version 4.4.5*

I payed for the pro version so that I could use my ipencil -which I was super excited about and so I could sync my phone, but the syncing is wonky! Occasionally it works and many times it doesn’t. If I write the flashcards on my iPad, they won’t show up on my phone, and many times they get deleted on my iPad which is VERY ANNOYING since flash cards take forever to make and I paid money! I would like if all of the flashcards would show up on both devices so I could use my phone on the go. At this point I’d rather write them out on real notecards and carry them around -which would be more reliable than using this app

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2023-02-19, version 4.4.5*

This app was more difficult to navigate than the class I was trying to use it for

### 1/5 — At a loss

*2020-12-19, version 4.4.5*

I have the pro version of this app and have used it for several years. The latest update, however, deleted all my cards. How does that happen. I have always had the cloud turned on to share my cards across my devices and it has never worked. I am at a loss

### 1/5 — Greedy Developers

*2020-07-22, version 4.4.5*

This app was severely lacking. I purchased the premium account under the impression that it would allow for a total customisation of my flash cards. There are only 4 pencil widths, there’s no iCloud so you can download the app and study on your phone, doesn’t allow for cards to be studied in a randomised order, and the palm rejection is severely lacking. 

I applied for a refund and was denied, I suspect it’s due to the developers greed and trying to cash in on a bad app. It’s 3.3 stars for a reason. Please don’t waste your money on these greedy people.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-11-02, version 4.4.5*

This app deleted half the cards in my final exam study guide. I wasted an hour of my life and I have to do it all again!!!!!

### 1/5 — Beyond annoyed!!

*2018-09-01, version 4.4.3*

I paid for the ad free for the iPad and phone. I just spent hours typing up cards just to have the information not saved!! This was a complete fail and a waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Please add a save button.

*2018-06-22, version 4.4.3*

So this app is note giving clear directions as how to save. Right now the review is looking like a 1 star because I am losing data. Please add a save button.

### 1/5 — FlipStudy

*2018-06-15, version 4.4.3*

The cloud sync doesn’t work very well and as s result I’ve lost some card staacks.

### 1/5 — Loved it but NOT for long

*2018-01-10, version 4.3.2*

I lost some of my info after spending hours doing it !!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t save your info on the card

*2018-01-02, version 4.3.2*

I have been trying to love this app for months. Just today, I tried again to type on a card. Soon as I add info to the card it’s gone. If I use the check mark or the arrow at the top to close it. When I open the card, what I typed is gone. This has been for months now. At first I thought it was because I copied and pasted the info. So I typed it out. Still didn’t Save. Is there a Save button that I don’t know about? All the other features are cool, but useless if the basic info you need doesn’t Save.

### 1/5 — Omg, so hard to use....

*2017-11-30, version 4.3.2*

No way to go back and change/correct what I´ve written. No way to delete cards I don´t want anymore....my god, this app is annoying.

### 5/5 — Great app some small problems

*2023-06-05, version 4.4.5*

This app has be very useful to me but there are some annoying parts.
1. When using the pen only one line thickness is available.
2. If you accidentally hit the bin button you can’t undo it.

Also I had once done about an hour’s work on the app in a new set of cards and after closing the app and coming back to it the new set was missing as if it had never been created.

### 5/5 — Love the app. Easy to use.

*2022-12-19, version 4.4.5*

Love the app. Easy to use. I just wish I could share my flash cards with people who have this app so that it would make it easy to study together rather than them having to take the time to build things I have already built. Also when I got a new phone all the flash cards I made in the old phone didn’t transfer but maybe I just did something wrong.

### 5/5 — Used the free version for about two months.

*2022-04-30, version 4.4.5*

Then switched to PRO just today because it is that good. Cheers!

### 5/5 — Genial

*2021-04-20, version 4.4.5*

Me encanta esta App, es muy útil para estudiar. 
¿Pero no se como cambiar el tipo de letra en la versión pro¿

### 5/5 — Better than other apps cause it SIMPLE

*2020-09-21, version 4.4.5*

I like this app better than the other popular flashcard apps because it’s simple. It’s just like making your own basic index cards but on your phone. The other popular apps just have too much going on for me. I study best by making index cards. So I end up with lots and lots of cards. I just get tired of having to carry soooo many cards with me. This app takes care of that problem. All of my flash cards in the palm of my hand.

### 5/5 — Love it!/SUGGESTIONS!! to the creators =]

*2020-04-27, version 4.4.5*

I just downloaded the app, saw its potential, and upgraded to the pro version. I absolutely love it - its perfect for me to study my japanese kanji without the mess of 1000s of index cards. 

I have a few suggestions!

If there was a way that we could tag our stuff and then be able to create a new deck with just the tabbed index cards. This could help with sorting out cards that are too difficult or easy into one new deck. Or it could be used to organize a huge deck into subtopics. For example, I could tag all of the verbs and then have them be created into a new deck. In addition, I think multicolored tags could enhance this feature. That way you can double tag a card to sort it into two new separate decks (For example, a card that is difficult and is also a verb will be sorted into both decks). 

My other suggestion would be for a way to select and drag a drawing or text to a new location on the card. I found that when I started to write my kanji characters I wouldn’t give myself enough room and run out of space. I have to erase the entire thing and start over. Being able to select and drag the kanji to a new spot would be much more efficient. 

Lastly I would like to sync my app on my ipad to my iphone. Perhaps by connecting the app through an account. 

Thank you for reading my suggestions, they were a bit longer than I intended. I Hope you are finding yourself safe and well during this quarantine

### 5/5 — very useful and gets rid of need for paper

*2020-04-04, version 4.4.5*

i am only into the first hour of using the Pro . i would like to see a feature that allowed random card picking without having to shake as i have a large heavy ipad .. as well as text size that can be enlarged to much more than its current capability

### 5/5 — Folders please!

*2020-03-30, version 4.4.5*

It’s great! I love simple apps like this. I also think its aesthetic is very nostalgic. Reminds me of notepads or index cards I used in school; which is why I prefer this over the notes app built in iPhone. BUT PLEASE incorporate a filing system. Maybe folders? ❤️

### 5/5 — Great App easy to use

*2018-12-01, version 4.4.5*

I love having digital Flashcards with the ability to write and draw directly onto them with the Apple Pencil!

### 5/5 — Question

*2018-11-22, version 4.4.5*

How can i send my flashcard to my friends?
