Needs audio support or I'm switching to Anki cards, been with Iflash since 2004!! Thanks ### 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. ### 3/5 — Cant sync pictures *2015-09-29, version 1.3* I've been using this app to study for years and I love it. My only problem, which, for a science major is a HUGE problem, is that it doesn't sync photos from my MAC to my phone. Studying with the cards on my computer is fine but when I'm in transit using the phone ability would be so much better. Hoping for an update soon!! ### 2/5 — No attachment support *2015-06-18, version 1.3* This is a good app to get the basic text from your cards in the iFlash app into your iPhone/iPod, but there is no support to transfer the audio/picture attachments in your cards into your mobile device. If this function is added I would rate it 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Good but could be better *2015-05-01, version 1.3* I find this app useful. However, if we could edit flash cards from our phones, and take pictures a and add them into cards it would be complete. I have had this app for three years now. ### 2/5 — No pictures *2015-01-19, version 1.3* Really dissapointed pictures are not supported. ### 4/5 — Good to see some love *2014-11-24, version 1.3* iFlash has always led all flashcard apps with its simple but fully functional interface. The recent iPad support is good to have. It would be even better if it remembered your place when coming back after it gets booted out of memory. Also, it crashes when clicking on the "All" cards button. But at least this is easily avoided. ### 4/5 — Didn’t Sync after upgrading to iOS 8.0 *2014-09-26, version 1.2* Version 1.2 didn’t want to sync with my iMac since iOS 8.0 update. However, after removing all of the card files from my iPhone and rebooting the iPhone, it did sync just fine. I love this app, but one really needs to be able to sync the images from the Mac to the iDevice as images make up 50% of my cards! I’ll upgrade my rating to 5 stars once I can sync images. ### 3/5 — Good app but *2014-09-16, version 1.2* Very good app, expensive, does the job. Would Like to have the option of transferring note cards via the FireWire cable. Buyers should note limited to wifi only note card transfer. ### 4/5 — Great Product but "loss" a section *2014-07-11, version 1.2* I have different categories using the flashcards. I really like them but when I drag an item to be attached and then when studying the cards the attachment is so small. No directions how to make it larger. Also, as I was putting in 50+ cards in a specific section all of a sudden that whole section was not there. Agh! I reverted but I still loss all my work during this evening studying. Very frustrating :( so many hours down the drain. ### 5/5 — The Best of the Best *2014-03-17, version 1.2* iFlash is a brilliant program - powerful, intuitive, robust, stable, elegant, and well-supported. I've been using it for years, perhaps even a decade, and it has never let me down. And I've put it through its paces: thousand of flash cards, each linked to large audio files. It has never crashed once. Regrettably, I have been disappointed by the limitations of the supplemental iOS app. But I'm happy that it has been scaled for the iPad. I hope that someday the developer leverages his genius to make an iOS version as good as the desktop, and I hope that he makes a lot of money. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-03-14, version 1.2* March 2014 - This is the only app that I use for studying. Of all the other we based flash programs this is the only one thats effective. This app has been updated as of late and it's awesome! I have used this the last three years in university. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — thanks for doing these updates! *2014-03-14, version 1.2* seriously the only flash card app that's worked for me. making cards on your Mac and syncing them may seem like a few extra steps, but it's totally worth the functionality of this app. thanks again for the updates! ### 5/5 — User *2014-03-14, version 1.2* This app helped me get through college. If you benefit from flash card study, you need this app paired with iflash for Mac. I have used it for undergrad, graduate, and specialty licensing study. Very easy to learn and use. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — It's back! *2014-03-13, version 1.2* Glad to see Dave working on iFlash again! The only flash card app with worthwhile features IMO. ### 5/5 — IFlash Touch *2014-03-13, version 1.2* This app is extremely easy to use. I type up my cards on my mac air and easily transfer them to my IPhone using IFlash. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Great when it works *2015-08-20, version 1.3* This a great app when it works. The problem is that after a month it stopped syncing. Support is non-existant, so ultimately it becomes a useless program. ### 1/5 — No images? *2015-01-28, version 1.3* What kind of a flashcard app doesn't even support images. Pretty much useless for me. I'll stick with Flashcards Deluxe.. ### 1/5 — can't export images from computer *2014-07-06, version 1.2* this has no ability to export images to iPhone. completely useless for me so need to find another program. ### 1/5 — Update the app for 5, 5s. *2014-02-16, version 1.0.2* Paide $14. For Mac app, and it not full update for iPhone 5. You guys updated for Macs, but not for the phone, what the heck it takes you so long. ### 1/5 — Attachments not available *2013-12-06, version 1.0.2* No attachments available to the iphone. ### 1/5 — No ipad app??? *2013-10-19, version 1.0.2* Please make an ipad app!!! ### 1/5 — Buggy *2013-08-22, version 1.0.2* I have used iFlash for a number of years and it got me through a number of classes. I think that the developer, David McGavern, has pretty much abandoned this and the original iFlash. ### 1/5 — No updates!?! *2013-08-20, version 1.0.2* It's been years and there hasn't been promised updates. Especially to the iPhone and iTouch. Pictures added to the device would make the app very good. ### 1/5 — Crapcrapcrap *2013-02-26, version 1.0.2* Your limited to a certain amount of text meaning not all of your definition will transfer over to your phone. I can only read 1/4 of what I typed on the card on my computer so lame. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Greatest app EVER *2015-03-16, version 1.3* I stumbled upon this on the iMac and I was amazed. I take two foreign languages and this application and its sync with the Mac app is awesome. It is actually worth the $14.99 to get the computer app ### 5/5 — Good app *2014-10-17, version 1.3* Can someone help me in how to export pic into my iPhone. I sometimes add pictures to my slides but they don't sync into my iPhone ### 5/5 — LOVE this program! *2014-09-11, version 1.2* I got a Mac for nursing school in 2008 specifically so I could use iFlash (well I love Macs also) and it got me through school with thousands of cards!! I’m in school now to be a Nurse Practitioner and I just opened the program to use it again! I love that I can cut and paste pics from the class power points and I love that I can use it on the go on my phone! I wish I could do everything on the phone that I do on my computer but I love it either way!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
