## What is iFlash Touch?

*** IMPORTANT: iFlash Touch is the free VIEWER app for iFlash for Mac (available from the Mac App Store), and requires it to work. Learn about iFlash for Mac here: www.loopware.com/iflash/ ***

iFlash Touch, a free companion app, lets you study the flash cards and decks you've created using iFlash on your Mac. Sending decks to your device is simple, since iFlash Touch uses your existing home wireless network. No need for external servers, web sites, or any monthly costs!

To send decks from iFlash to iFlash Touch, click the "Export" button in iFlash on your Mac, select "iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch", and go. Once you've studied on your iPhone, simply repeat this procedure and iFlash Touch will sync back which cards you have memorized into iFlash on your Mac.

iFlash Touch supports most of the features of iFlash, including all three memorization modes (Simple, Score, and Interval), and unlimited card sides. Note that images and audio are not current supported in iFlash Touch.

### 5/5 — This review is for the Mac version...

*2020-03-28, version 1.3.1*

This is hands down, the best flashcard software ever. The design, ease of use, robustness (never crashes), and function is unparalleled. I've been using this software for over a decade. 
David I read on your LinkedIn that you're updating iflash! If possible, it would be amazing to see a batch upload function for audio files. Thank you for iflash, it's the best flashcard software by far, I've tried them all.

### 5/5 — Best flash card app period

*2018-11-07*

I love this app. It’s super flexible and allows me to create (literally) thousands of cards with multiple sides and qui myself on them on multiple devices. Only wish it were easier to transmit decks from one device to another (eg bluetooth and not wireless).

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2018-01-03*

Terrific study tool for memorizing just about anything!

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2017-12-30*

I've used a lot of flashcard/anki apps and tbh this is the only one I've ever liked. Thank you so much!

### 1/5 — Text only

*2017-10-17*

Unless you make all your cards with only text, this app is pretty useless. Unfortunately, I need pictures on mine so it's useless to me.

### 5/5 — Great, easy-to-use

*2017-05-30, version 1.3*

This is a straighforward, easy to use program, which syncs no problem with all my devices. My only concern is that iOS says it needs to be updated for upcoming OS revisions, and it hasn't received an update in 3 years.

### 3/5 — Read cards or play recorded audio on iPhone!!!

*2016-05-15, version 1.3*

Please update!!! Needs audio support or I'm switching to Anki cards, been with Iflash since 2004!! Thanks

### 5/5 — Thank you, David...

*2016-02-22*

...for bringing this back! I hope it remains updated for many, many, years to come. Five stars because it “just works” flawlessly, and does what it is designed to do with ease and simplicity. I  would like to see a way (an optional feature) to practice writing in an answer, and then check it with the already entered correct response (the program doesn’t necessarily have to be able to check for you). Also, you may want to put dates on your updates listed on your website, as well as update your copyright date to the current year. This would instill more confidence that the app is alive and well. Just some suggestions!

### 2/5 — No pictures

*2015-11-12, version 1.3*

How has this app been around so long without image functionality on smartphones or iPads?? I'm usually using flash cards when I'm on the go, not always just sitting in front of my computer. I'd expect more after paying for this software when Quizlet offers more options for free.

### 5/5 — Best flash card app!!!!

*2015-10-18, version 1.3*

I have been using iFlash on my mac for many years and have been very happy with the product. Now that I can carry around my flash cards with me wherever I go has made iFlash even better. This is by far the best flash card program out there if you have a mac.
